REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

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, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is 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 2003 was $12,000 and for 2002 was $11,000, 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 2003 was $2,000 and for 2002 was $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, 2003, there were $19,150 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 2003, rollover accounts in the amount of $198,285 were transferred into the Plan and are included in participant contributions on the statement of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

AVIALL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  (4) The participant may not make tax-deferred contributions and other elective or voluntary contributions to the Plan for at least 6 months after the receipt of the hardship withdrawal.

 

There were three distributions totaling $171,768 that were requested in 2003 and paid in 2004. There were no distributions or withdrawals which had been approved but remained unpaid as of December 31, 2002.

 

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 4.95% to 10.74% for loans outstanding at December 31, 2003. 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 Company.

 

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.

AVIALL, INC.

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 based on the ratio of the account balance of the individual participant to the aggregate of all account balances of all participants in the fund within the Plan. These 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 and to be amended to comply with any changes in the IRC. On June 27, 2003, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1997 to comply with the relevant provision of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, as well as other changes that were required by the Internal Revenue Service and other laws and regulations. On June 27, 2003, the Plan was further amended effective January 1, 2002 to comply with certain provision of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. On December 15, 2003, the Plan was amended effective as of January 1, 2003 to reflect final and temporary regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the IRC, published on April 17, 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Following the amendment and restatement of the Plan, the Company submitted an application for a determination letter to the IRS regarding the qualified status of the Plan.

The Company anticipates receiving a favorable letter of determination from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the Plan, and 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 services for which no fees are charged.
