                           AIRSHIP INTERNATIONAL LTD.
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1-BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete statements. Management believes that all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such
financial statements, have been included. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimated. If such differences prove significant and material, the Company will
file an amendment to this report on Form 10-Q.

NOTE 2-TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:

LOANS FROM TRANS CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC. During the six months ended June 30,
1998, Trans Continental Airlines, Inc. ("Trans Continental"), an affiliated
company, loaned the Company $1,442,000. However, there can be no assurance that
Trans Continental will continue to make such loans to the Company.

NOTE 3-CUMULATIVE PREFERRED DIVIDENDS IN ARREARS:

The Company accrued quarterly dividend payments with respect to its Class A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Voting Stock (the "Preferred Stock") since
August 15, 1994. Dividends on the Preferred Stock accrued at the annual rate
of $.60 per share payable in Common Stock. The Company accrued $646,000 in
dividends from January 1 through June 10, 1998.

On June 10, 1998 a majority of the holders of the Company's common and 
preferred stock, voting together, and a majority of the holders of the 
preferred stock, voting separately as a class, approved the conversion of each 
share of outstanding preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, into three 
shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. All shares were
converted as of June 10, 1998.

In connection with such vote, the shareholders waived their rights to the
accrued but undeclared preferred dividends and the authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock were removed as authorized stock.

NOTE 4-RELATED PARTY PAYABLES AND DEBT

Trans Continental, which is a shareholder of the Company, Transcontinental
Leasing, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trans Continental), and Louis J.
Pearlman, the Chairman of the Company and a shareholder, have agreed to
waive their rights to receive certain amounts owed to them by the Company.
This agreement was conditional upon the shareholders passing certain proposals
set forth in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held
on June 10, 1998, which were passed.

As of June 30, 1998, the balances owed to Trans Continental, Transcontinental
Leasing, Inc., and Louis J. Pearlman were $7,151,000, $3,647,000 and $2,081,000,
respectively, for a total of $12,879,000. As of June 10, 1998, the Company and
the parties began the process of finalizing the extinguishment of this debt.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

Historically, Airship International Ltd. (the "Company") has operated
lighter-than-air airships, also commonly known as blimps, which were used to
advertise and promote the products and services of the Company's clients. The
Company's clients utilized its airships at major sporting and special events and
over urban and beach locations as an informative advertising and promotional
vehicle. The Company did not operate any airships during 1996, 1997 or the first
six months of 1998.

Since 1995, the Company generally has had no operations and no opportunity to
commence operations in the airship industry in which it has historically
conducted its business operations. As a result, the Company has experienced
significant operating losses and negative cash flow from its operations.
Management's strategy for the future is to arrange for funding from affiliated
entities, of which there can be no assurance, and to separately consider
acquiring new business operations or merging (whether through direct,
indirect, reverse, or other form of merger) with an entity that has ongoing
business operations. As of the date hereof, the Company has no agreements with
any third party to effect any acquisition or merger, and no assurances can be
given that any such acquisition or merger will be effected in the future. As
noted in the auditor's report in the Company's 10-K Report for the fiscal year
ended 1997, there exists the substantial doubt that the Company may have the
ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company was incorporated in New York on June 9, 1982 and commenced
operations in August 1985 following the completion of the Company's initial
public offering in June 1985. The Company's principal executive offices are
located at 7380 Sand Lake Road, Suite 350, Orlando, Florida 32819 and its
telephone number is (407) 351-0011.

OVERALL FINANCIAL CONDITION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. For the first six months ended June 30, 1998, the
Company incurred a loss of $1,041,000 and had negative cash flows of $1,041,000
from operations. The $1,041,000 loss was comparable to the prior period loss
of $1,073,000 but in 1998 the Company showed lower selling, general and
administrative costs due to commissions paid on refinancing the Company's debt
in 1997 offset by increased interest expense. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company's
current liquidity shortage. The Company experienced a net loss of $579,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998, compared to a net loss of $411,000
for the same period during the prior year. The change was due primarily to an
increase in interest expense and professional fees.

The Company had a stockholders' deficit of $12,884,000 at June 30, 1998, as
compared to the stockholders' deficit of $17,683,000 at December 31, 1997
representing a decrease of $4,799,000. The decrease was primarily due to the
waiver of accrued preferred stock dividends in the amount of $6,508,000
after the accrual of $646,000 of such dividends for the six months ended June
30, 1998. In addition, the Company sustained a loss in the amount of $1,041,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had no revenue during the first six months of 1998 and 1997.

Selling, general, and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30,
1998, were $414,000 compared to $604,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The
difference of $190,000 resulted from the net effect of commissions paid on
refinancing the Company's debt in 1997. For the three months ended June 30,
1998, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $90,000 to $236,000
from the $146,000 for the comparable period in 1997, primarily due to increased
professional fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operating
activities. Due to the continued negative cash flow and existing encumbrances on
its assets, the Company has relied on loans, cash advances, and guarantees from
Louis Pearlman, the Company's president and principal stockholder, and Trans
Continental, a shareholder of the company. There can be no assurance that Mr.
Pearlman or Trans Continental will make additional loans, cash advances, and
guarantees on an ongoing basis. At June 30, 1998, the Company owed Mr. Pearlman
$1,292,000, net of unamortized discounts, and owed Trans Continental $7,151,000
(see Note 2).

On June 10, 1998 a majority of the holders of the Company's common and preferred
stock, voting together, and a majority of the holders of the Company's preferred
stock, voting separately as a class, approved the conversion of each share of
outstanding preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, into three shares of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. All shares were converted
as of June 10, 1998.

In connection with such vote, the shareholders waived their rights to the
accrued but undeclared preferred dividends and the authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock were removed as authorized stock.

Trans Continental, which is a shareholder of the Company, Transcontinental
Leasing, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trans Continental), and Louis J.
Pearlman, the Chairman of the Company and a shareholder, have agreed to
waive their rights to receive certain amounts owed to them by the Company.
This agreement was conditional upon the shareholders passing certain proposals
set forth in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on
June 10, 1998, which were passed.

As of June 30, 1998, the balances owed to Trans Continental, Transcontinental
Leasing, Inc., and Louis J. Pearlman were $7,151,000, $3,647,000 and $2,081,000,
respectively, for a total of $12,879,000. As of June 10, 1998, the Company
and the parties began the process of finalizing the extinguishment of this debt.
