Compensation of Directors

     Since inception, no director has received any cash compensation for
his services as such.  However, in fiscal 1997, the Company recognized an
expense of $48,000, $12,000 per non-employee director, for the payment of
directors fees.  At September 30, 1997, services provided by the Company to
such directors totaling approximately $33,000 were applied to this accrual.
However, no cash payments have been made for any of the remaining amounts
due.

     In the past, directors have been and will continue to be reimbursed
for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

Employment Contracts

     Christopher Tennant, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, is employed pursuant to an employment agreement expiring March 31,
1998 at an annual base salary of $180,000 plus annual cost-of-living
adjustments.  The term of the agreement may be extended for an additional
three years under certain conditions relating to a merger or change of
control of the Company.  In addition, the agreement provides for the
payment of bonus compensation based upon certain financial performance
levels being achieved.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     In February 1994, the Board of Directors formed a Compensation
Committee, the current members of which are Richard Hambro,  Paul R. Dupee,
Jr.  and Nigel D. Pilkington.  Mr. Hambro and Mr. Dupee served thereon
throughout the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 while Mr. Pilkington
was appointed to the Compensation Committee in  December 1996.  Prior to
December 1996, James G. Niven, a director of the Company, also served on
the Compensation Committee. Since January 1998, Mr. Dupee has been Chairman
of the Board. From February 1994 to January 1997, Mr. Hambro and Mr. Niven
were Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, and from January 1997 to
January 1998, Mr. Hambro was sole Chairman.  Messrs. Dupee,  Hambro and
Niven received no compensation during fiscal 1997 for service in such
capacities.  Prior to February 1994, Mr. Hambro also served as Chairman of
the Board from May 1989 to February 1994.  Mr. Pilkington is a non-officer
director and is not an employee or former or current officer of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries.  See Part III, Item 13 for information on
certain transactions involving the foregoing persons.

     During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, no executive officer
of the Company served as  a director or a member of the Compensation
Committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of
another entity one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation
Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company.

Stock Option Plan

     In August 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1993
Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") for employees, officers, consultants or
directors of the Company or its subsidiaries to purchase up to 250,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company.  Stockholder approval was obtained
in June 1994.  Options granted under the 1993 Plan may either be "incentive
stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or
non-statutory stock options.  Under the terms of the 1993 Plan,
participants may receive options to purchase Common Stock in such amounts
and for such prices as may be established by the Board of Directors or the
committee appointed by the Board, provided, however, that any incentive
stock options granted under the 1993 Plan shall be granted at no less than
100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company at the
time of grant.  As of September 30, 1997, options to acquire 23,335 shares
of Common Stock have been granted under the 1993 Plan and 226,665 options
were available for future grant.

     In addition to options granted under the 1993 Plan, in August 1997,
the Company granted non-statutory stock options to certain officers and key
employees for a total of 704,000 shares, all of which are immediately
exercisable at $.50 per share.

Savings Plans

     The Company has a voluntary savings plan covering substantially all of
its employees in the United States.  The plan qualifies under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Pursuant to the plan, eligible
employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their salaries to an
investment trust.  Effective October 1, 1990, the Company contributes an
amount equal to 100% of the first 4% of employee contributions.  In
addition, the Company has a voluntary savings plan covering eligible
employees of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom pursuant to which
eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 17 1/2% of their salaries
to an investment trust.  The Company contributes an amount equal to 100% of
the first 4% of employee contributions.  During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1997,  contributions  made  under  such  savings  plans  by
the  Company were  $11,000 and $5,654  for Messrs. Tennant and Borrowdale,
respectively.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     During  fiscal 1997, the four holders of all of the then outstanding
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred
Stock") agreed (effective retroactively to September 30, 1996) to convert
all of the Series C Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 2,053,876 shares
of Common Stock.  Two of such holders were James G. Niven, a director of
the Company, and J. O. Hambro Nominees Limited, which may be deemed to be
controlled by Richard Hambro, a director of the Company.

     In addition, in fiscal 1997, two holders (Paul R. Dupee, Jr. and
Consulta Special Funds Limited) of the Company's 10% Senior Subordinated
Convertible Debentures due December 31, 1998 (the "1998 Debentures") agreed
to convert the 1998 Debentures held by them (in the principal amount of
$1,065,000) into 3,227,273 shares of Common Stock (effective retroactively
to September 30, 1996).  Paul R. Dupee, Jr. is Chairman of the Board and a
director of the Company.  The shares held by Consulta Special Funds Limited
may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Nigel D. Pilkington, a director
of the Company.

     See Part III, Item 11 for information on the employment agreement
entered into with Christopher Tennant.

     Pursuant to an oral agreement, the Company rents office space in
London from Lynton International Limited, a company organized under the
laws of England which is wholly-owned by Christopher Tennant, the Company's
President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director.  For  the  year  ended
September 30, 1997, rental  expense  for  this  space  was $51,000.

     In  December 1997, the Company acquired through Lynton Group Limited,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock (the "Magec Shares") of Magec Aviation Limited
("Magec") for a purchase price of 17,000,000 Pounds Sterling paid in cash.
The funds used to purchase the Magec Shares included bank financing in the
principal amount of 12,800,000 Pounds Sterling with the balance of purchase
price from debt financing obtained from certain directors and principal
stockholders of the Company, and/or their affiliates, as well as other
third parties. It is anticipated that approximately $5,900,000,
representing a substantial portion of such debt financing, will be
convertible into approximately 5,900,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock once the Certificate of Incorporation is modified to increase the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  The Company intends to seek
stockholder approval of such modification at its next Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.  In connection with the aforesaid financing, an Option
Agreement was entered into between Magec and Westbury Properties
Corporation ("Westbury"), which may be deemed an affiliate of Paul R.
Dupee, Jr., Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company, whereby
Westbury was granted an option expiring December 23, 1999 to acquire a
certain aircraft owned by Magec for the purchase price of $6,664,000.

     There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or
affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than
five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any
associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or
security holder is a party adverse to the Company or any if its
subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries.
