                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Participants and Administrator of
   the Aviall, Inc. Employee Savings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Aviall, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2002
and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Nonexempt
Transactions and Assets Held for Investment Purposes are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

         The following description of the Aviall, Inc. Employee Savings Plan
         (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.
         Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
         information.

         GENERAL

         The Plan, sponsored by Aviall, Inc. ("Aviall" or the "Company") was
         established on December 7, 1993 in accordance with and subject to the
         provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
         ("ERISA"). The Plan is a defined contribution plan and, as such, is
         subject to some, but not all, of the provisions of ERISA. It is
         excluded from coverage under Title IV of ERISA, which generally
         provides for guaranty and insurance of retirement benefits, and it is
         not subject to the funding requirements of Title I of ERISA. The Plan
         is, however, subject to those provisions of Title I and II of ERISA
         that, among other things, require that each participant be furnished
         with an annual financial report and a comprehensive description of the
         participants' rights under the Plan, set minimum standards of
         responsibility applicable to fiduciaries of the Plan, and establish
         minimum standards for participation and vesting.

         Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participants may make elective
         contributions to the Plan beginning on their date of hire, but must
         have one year of qualified service and be at least 21 years of age
         before receiving employer matching contributions. In general, new
         employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan.

         PLAN INVESTMENTS

         The Plan is a self-trusteed plan with The 401(k) Company as
         recordkeeper. Plan assets are held by various investment fund houses in
         separate investment accounts.

         Participants may elect to contribute to, or transfer among, any of the
         funds except for the Aviall Stock Restricted Shares Fund. Earnings are
         allocated based on number of shares attributed to participants'
         accounts.

         Aviall Stock Restricted Shares Fund: The fund consists of Aviall, Inc.
         common stock contributed by the Company in 1998 through a one-time
         grant of shares to eligible employees, as defined in the 1997 Plan
         amendment. The fund is not a participant directed fund and, as such,
         participants do not have access to the fund while employed with the
         Company.

         Aviall Common Stock Fund: The fund consists of Aviall, Inc. common
         stock that is purchased on a regular and continuous basis on the open
         market, and a money market fund that is used to facilitate stock
         purchases and liquidations. On May 1, 2001, the Aviall Common Stock
         Fund moved from a unitized accounting method to a share accounting
         method. Under the share accounting method, participants own actual
         shares within the fund rather than owning a percentage of all the stock
         in the fund.

         CONTRIBUTIONS, VESTING AND FORFEITURES

         The Plan was established in accordance with Sections 401(a) and 401(k)
         of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan entitles nonhighly
         compensated employees to defer up to 50% of their pre-tax compensation
         up to the maximum annual limit as determined by the IRC. Highly
         compensated employees as defined under IRC Section 414(q) may defer
         pre-tax compensation only up to the percentage allowed pursuant to the
         nondiscrimination tests. The maximum employee contribution for 2002 is
         $11,000 and for 2001 is $10,500, and is limited by law. Effective for
         plan years beginning on and after January 1, 2002, participants who are
         age 50 or older by the end of the plan year and who cannot contribute
         additional amounts to the Plan due to either a plan limit or certain
         statutory limits, may contribute an additional amount to the Plan as a
         "catch-up contribution." The maximum catch-up contribution for 2002 is
         $1,000. The Company does not match catch-up contributions. Prior to
         July 1, 2001, the Company matched 50% of the employee's annual
         contribution up to $400 per person based on certain requirements.
         Effective July 1, 2001, the Company matches 50% of the employee's
         contribution limited to the first 5% of employee compensation per pay
         period.

         Participants are immediately 100% vested in the earnings of their
         individual contributions to the Plan. Participants vest 25% per year in
         Company contributions and the earnings attributable to such
         contributions beginning with their second year of service, and are 100%
         vested in their fifth year of service. Vesting in Company contributions
         also occurs upon attainment of retirement age, death or disability.
         Upon a distribution to a participant, nonvested Company contributions
         are forfeited and are used to offset future Company contributions. At
         December 31, 2002, there were $12,060 of forfeitures that will be used
         to offset future Company contributions.

         In 1997, the Plan was amended to allow the Company to make
         discretionary contributions of Company common stock to the Plan. Such
         contributions, when made, are fully-vested and nonforfeitable. In 1998,
         the Company made a discretionary contribution of 50 shares of Company
         common stock to all eligible employees as defined in the amendment.
         This contribution is included in the Aviall Stock Restricted Shares
         Fund and cannot be directed by the participants.

         All contributions to the Plan are deposited in the trust. At the
         employee's option, contributions are directed into separate participant
         directed investment funds, as discussed above.

         PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

         Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
         contribution, the Company's matching contribution, as eligible, and the
         allocation of the investment fund earnings, as well as charged with
         loan fees, as applicable.

         ROLLOVERS

         Distributions from another qualified plan can be transferred into the
         Plan. In 2002, rollover accounts in the amount of $86,198 were
         transferred into the Plan and are included in participant contributions
         on the statement of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         In the event of a participant's termination of employment, disability
         or death, the participant or beneficiary shall receive an amount equal
         to the vested account balance of the participant's account in a
         lump-sum payment. Upon a participant's death or retirement due to total
         and permanent disability, a participant's Plan account balance
         immediately becomes fully vested and nonforfeitable.

         Upon a participant's retirement date, a participant's Plan account
         balance immediately becomes fully vested and nonforfeitable. A
         participant's retirement date is defined as the later of the date upon
         which a participant attains age 65 or the fifth anniversary of the date
         the participant commenced participation in the Plan. Upon retirement, a
         lump-sum payment of the participant's account balance shall be made as
         soon as administratively practicable following the valuation date
         coinciding with or immediately following the participant's retirement
         date.

         In no event shall a distribution be made later than 60 days after the
         close of the plan year in which the latest of the following events
         occurs: the date the participant attains or would have attained age 65
         (or if earlier the participant's retirement date), the tenth
         anniversary of the participant's participation in the Plan, or the
         participant's termination of employment.

         Lump-sum payments of $5,000 or less are made at the request of a
         participant or beneficiary, or annually upon the failure of a
         participant or beneficiary to respond to the recordkeepers request for
         payment instructions within the specified time frame. For payments
         greater than $5,000, consent of the participant or beneficiary is
         required.

         The Plan allows hardship withdrawals for the following reasons:

            (1)   Payment of catastrophic medical expenses;

            (2)   Purchase of a principal residence;

            (3)   Payment of tuition of post secondary education;

            (4)   Payments to prevent the eviction or foreclosure of principal
                  residence; or

            (5)   Any other reason deemed a financial hardship by the Internal
                  Revenue Service ("IRS").

         Certain restrictions are placed on participants withdrawing from the
         Plan. Such restrictions include:

            (1)   The amount withdrawn may not exceed the amount of immediate
                  financial need;


            (2)   The participant must obtain all nontaxable loans available
                  under the Plan prior to applying for hardship withdrawal;

            (3)   The participant must limit tax-deferred and other elective
                  contributions under the Plan for the next taxable year to the
                  applicable limit under section 402(g) of the IRC, minus the
                  employee's elective contributions for the year of the hardship
                  distribution; or

            (4)   The participant may not make tax-deferred contributions and
                  other elective or voluntary contributions to the Plan for at
                  least 12 months after the receipt of the hardship withdrawal
                  or, effective January 1, 2002, for hardship withdrawals
                  distributed in 2001, 6 months after the receipt of the
                  hardship withdrawal or January 1, 2002, if later or, for
                  hardship withdrawals distributed after December 31, 2001, 6
                  months after the receipt of the hardship withdrawal.

         There were no distributions or withdrawals which had been approved but
         remained unpaid as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.

         LOANS

         An active participant with a vested account balance of at least $2,000
         may borrow from their account. Loans are limited to 50% of the vested
         account balance and are collateralized by the participant's vested
         account balance. Loans must be at least $1,000 but not greater than
         $50,000. In general, loans must be repaid within five years through
         payroll deductions, unless utilized for the purchase or construction of
         a principal residence, in which case the maximum repayment term is 10
         years. Loans accrue interest at a rate equal to the applicable treasury
         note rate plus 4.0% fixed for the term of the loan. Such rates range
         from 5.76% to 10.84% for loans outstanding at December 31, 2002. All
         principal and interest repayments are allocated to the Plan's
         investment funds based on the participant's investment elections at the
         time of repayment. Loans that are granted and repaid in compliance with
         the Plan provisions will not be considered distributions to the
         participant for tax purposes.

         Under the Plan's loan provisions, participants are allowed to have up
         to two loans outstanding at a given time. Aviall, Inc. stock classified
         as "restricted" (Aviall Stock Restricted Shares Fund) is disqualified
         from being used to calculate loanable account balances or fund loans
         unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator. Additionally,
         the Plan, as amended, does not allow loans to be refinanced.

         PLAN TERMINATION

         The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the
         right to terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. Upon
         termination of the Plan, all benefits shall be nonforfeitable and fully
         vested, and each participant shall be entitled to the entire amount
         credited to his account. Payments shall be made by the trustee in a
         nondiscriminatory manner as directed by the Retirement Committee of the
         sponsor.

2.       SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

         The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis
         of accounting. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
         trade date basis, and dividends are reinvested at the date-of-record
         market price.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         PLAN FEES AND EXPENSES

         The Company paid all brokerage, administrative and recordkeeping fees
         for the Plan. Loan fees, when applicable, and administrative fees
         related to the Stable Value fund, when applicable, were charged to the
         Participant accounts and were the only expenses paid with Plan assets.
         Additionally, certain administrative services were performed by the
         Company at no cost to the Plan.

         PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

         Participant loans receivable represent cash advances to participants of
         the Plan less any payments made.

         INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

         The Plan's investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest
         rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with
         investments in mutual funds and stocks, it is at least reasonably
         possible that changes in the values of such investments will occur in
         the near term and that such changes could materially affect
         participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the
         statements of net assets available for benefits.

         The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, using quoted market
         prices, except for participant loans, which are valued at cost.

         SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

         Gains and losses on securities transactions are recorded on a current
         value basis. For purposes of reporting under ERISA, gains and losses on
         investments sold are calculated as sales proceeds less current value of
         such investments at the beginning of the Plan year or acquisition cost
         if acquired during the Plan year. Unrealized gains and losses are
         calculated as current value of investments at the end of the Plan year
         less current value at the beginning of the Plan year or acquisition
         cost if acquired during the Plan year.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
         America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
         reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and the related
         changes in net assets available for benefits. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates.

5.     TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

       The IRS granted a favorable letter of determination under the applicable
       section of the IRC on September 1, 1995 and, therefore, the trust is
       exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC. Once qualified, the
       Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
       qualification. Generally, contributions to a qualified plan are
       deductible by the Company when made, earnings of the trust are tax exempt
       and participants are not taxed on their benefits until withdrawn from the
       Plan.

       Management is unaware of any material variations in the operations of the
       Plan from the terms of the Plan documents, including amendments.
       Management believes the Plan, as amended, continues to qualify and
       operate as designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC and
       ERISA.

6.     PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

       The plan has not considered Company contributions to the Plan or benefits
       accrued or paid by the plan for participants as party-in-interest
       transactions. The Company provides certain accounting and administrative
