              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AirNet Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("AirNet" or the "Company") operate a
fully integrated national air transportation network which provides delivery
service for time-critical shipments for customers in the U.S. banking industry
and other industries requiring the express delivery of packages. AirNet also
offers retail aviation fuel sales and related ground services for customers at
its Columbus, Ohio facility.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of AirNet Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries. These financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the year ended December 31, 1999 audited consolidated financial
statements of AirNet Systems, Inc. included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (File No. 1-13025) (the
"1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K") which contain additional disclosures
including a summary of AirNet's accounting policies.

The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods. Certain
prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those financial
statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

2.      SEGMENT REPORTING

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information, which established annual and interim reporting and
disclosure standards for an enterprise's operating segments. SFAS No. 131 became
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has
historically not segregated costs between its Bank Delivery and Express Delivery
operations. Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2000, AirNet did not report
segment information due to accounting system limitations. The Company modified
its accounting systems and began reporting segment information on a going
forward basis beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as restatement of
prior periods is impracticable.

AirNet divides its business into two operating segments: Bank Delivery and
Express Delivery. The Bank Delivery segment transports canceled checks and
related information for the U.S. banking industry. The Express Delivery segment
provides specialized, high priority delivery service for customers requiring
late pick-ups and early deliveries combined with prompt, on-line delivery
information.


                                       6
<PAGE>

The accounting policies used for each segment are described in Note 1 -
Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 of the 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. AirNet has
no inter-segment sales. AirNet's assets are not allocated between segments due
to significant overlap in usage of the aircraft fleet, vehicles and facilities.
Management evaluates the performance of each segment based on operating income.

Summarized financial information concerning AirNet's reportable segments is
shown in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000. The "Other" category includes AirNet's fixed base operations and income
and expense not allocated to the reportable segments.

period.

           ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Except for the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, the matters
discussed, including, but not limited to, information regarding future economic
performance and plans and objectives of AirNet's management, are forward-looking
statements which involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this document,
the words "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "may", "plan", "project" and
similar expressions are intended to be among statements that identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties
including, but not limited to, the following which could cause actual results to
differ materially from any such forward-looking statement: potential regulatory
changes by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), which could increase the
regulation of AirNet's business, or the Federal Reserve, which could change the
competitive environment of transporting canceled checks; adverse weather
conditions; acceptance of pricing strategies by current and potential customers;
acceptance of AirNet's services by diverse markets; competitor reaction to
AirNet pricing strategies; availability of qualified pilots and support
personnel; technological advances and increases in the use of electronic funds
transfers; as well as other economic, competitive and domestic and foreign
governmental factors affecting AirNet's markets, price and other facets of its
operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary
materially from those indicated. AirNet undertakes no responsibility to update
for changes related to these or any other factors that may hereafter occur.
Refer to the 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1999, for additional detail relating to risk factors expressed in
forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999

Net revenues were $33.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.7%, over the same period of 1999.

Revenues from Bank Delivery decreased $0.2 million, or 0.7%, as a result of one
less flying day in the current quarter and increased market competition. These
decreases were offset by a 2% rate increase effective January 1, 2000.

Express Delivery revenues increased $0.5 million, or 5.7% primarily as a result
of rate increases to most customers effective January 1, 2000, and volume growth
from both the Company's Mercury Business Services ("Mercury") and Medical
divisions. Mercury revenues grew by $0.5 million while premium and ground
transportation services, which include services to the medical industry,
increased $0.3 million. These increases were offset by decreases in wholesale,
standard and other service revenues of approximately $0.3 million.

Total costs and expenses were $29.9 million for the three months ended September
30, 2000, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 4.3%, over the same period in 1999,
resulting in income from operations of $3.8 million for the third quarter of
2000, compared to $2.3 million over the same period last year, a 69.8% increase.

Air transportation expenses were up $0.4 million, or 1.6%, for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Fuel costs increased
$0.6 million due to higher aviation fuel prices but were offset by income from
the fuel surcharge programs. Maintenance


                                       8
<PAGE>

costs grew by $0.6 million due to increased labor and parts costs. Higher usage
of outside charter operators due to a lack of pilots and the cost-effectiveness
for chartering certain routes contributed $0.6 million to the overall increase.
Depreciation expense increased $0.4 million due to aircraft additions and
improvements. The shift towards higher usage of outside vendors and decreased
team member headcount significantly lowered expense in wages and benefits by
$0.3 million, supplies and uniform expense by $0.4 million and workers
compensation expense through improved claims management by $0.2 million. The
Company also experienced a $0.2 million reduction in costs associated with
shipping packages with the commercial airlines due to decreased volumes
associated with SDX services (shipments via the commercial airlines). Other
operational costs decreased primarily as a result of lower shipment volumes in
the Express Delivery segment.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $1.7 million, or 31.2%,
over the same period in the prior year primarily due to the prior year including
$1.1 million in one-time costs associated with management changes, personnel
costs, and professional fees not in the current year. Additional decreases can
be attributed to the reduction in administrative staff headcount over the past
year.

Interest expense was $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
which is comparable to the interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 1999. The notes payable balance has decreased by $0.9 million over the past
year. However, interest rates have increased from approximately 6.0% at
September 30, 1999 to approximately 7.5% at September 30, 2000.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999

Revenues increased $6.4 million, or 6.7%, to $102.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $95.8 million for the same period in 1999.

Bank Delivery revenues increased $1.2 million, or 1.6%, to $75.7 million. This
increase is primarily the result of rate increases effective January 1, 2000.

Express Delivery revenues increased $5.6 million, or 27.3%, due to rate
increases effective in 2000 and volume growth in the Company's premium, ground
transportation and Mercury divisions. Premium and ground transportation services
grew $4.5 million due to the addition of new customers requiring time-sensitive
deliveries of just-in-time parts and medical products. Mercury contributed $1.2
million of the increase in revenues. These Express Delivery increases were
offset by decreases in standard, wholesale, and other service revenues.

Fixed base and other operations decreased $0.3 million compared to the prior
year primarily due to a $0.1 million loss on the sale of an aircraft in 2000
compared to a $0.2 million gain on the sale of an aircraft in the same period of
1999.

Total costs and expenses were $91.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, an increase of $5.9 million, or 6.9%, over the same period in 1999
resulting in income from operations of $10.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $10.1 million for the same period of 1999.
Effective January 1, 1999, AirNet adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5, Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities. The effect of the adoption of SOP 98-5 was
to record a charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
of $2.5 million, net of taxes of $1.7 million ($0.22 per common share), to
expense costs that had been capitalized prior to 1999.

Air transportation expenses were up $6.7 million, or 9.4%. Approximately $1.7
million of the increase in transportation costs, including ground courier costs,
operational wages and related benefits, and commercial air freight cost, can be
directly attributed to the addition of sales contracts entered into in the third
quarter of 1999 resulting in a full year of expense in 2000


                                       9

compared to a partial year in 1999. Fuel costs increased by $2.2 million due to
higher aviation fuel prices and an increase in flight hours but were partially
offset by income of $2.1 million from the fuel surcharge program. Maintenance
costs are up $1.0 million primarily due to increased labor and parts costs. An
increase of $1.0 million relates to the use of outside charter operators due to
a lack of pilots and the cost-effectiveness of chartering certain routes.
Depreciation expense is up $1.9 million due to aircraft additions and
improvements which occurred during 1999. Wages and benefits expense increased
$1.2 million due to increased pilot wages and the addition of the 2000 incentive
compensation plan. Crew training expense increased $0.3 million due to
outsourced flight simulator training beginning in late 1999. Premium reductions
and improved claims management in the aircraft, air cargo and workers
compensation areas resulted in a $0.7 million decrease in insurance expense year
over year. Other operational costs increased as a result of the increase in
Express Delivery volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 6.4%,
for the nine month period primarily due to the prior year including $1.2 million
in one-time costs associated with management changes, personnel costs, and
professional fees not in the current year. The current year impact on the
overall change includes an increase of $0.7 million in wages and benefits which
can be attributed to the 2000 incentive compensation plan and growth in
commissions expense of $0.3 million due to volume increases in the Express
Delivery segment. These were offset by a $0.3 million decrease in amortization
expense due to the expiration of certain non-compete covenants in the third
quarter of 1999 and the impact of reductions in administrative staff year over
year.

Interest expense was $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
which is comparable to the interest expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. The notes payable balance has decreased by $0.9 million over the past
year. However, interest rates have increased from approximately 6.0% at
September 30, 1999 to approximately 7.5% at September 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by operating activities
was $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to
$12.8 million for the same period in 1999.

CURRENT CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS. AirNet maintains a credit agreement with a bank
that provides a $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit
agreement limits the availability of funds to designated percentages of accounts
receivable, inventory and the wholesale value of aircraft and equipment. In
addition, the credit agreement requires the maintenance of minimum net worth and
cash flow levels, imposes limits on payments of dividends to 50% of net income
and restricts the amount of additional debt which may be incurred. AirNet's
outstanding balance at September 30, 2000 was $27.4 million, which is a $6.5
million decrease from the balance at December 31, 1999.

In September 1999, AirNet entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a
bank as a hedge against the interest rate risk associated with AirNet's
borrowings. The swap agreements each have a notional amount of $5.0 million and
effectively lock in a portion of AirNet's variable rate revolving credit
liability at fixed rates of 6.3% and 6.5% plus a margin based on AirNet's funded
debt ratio. These swap agreements are in effect for a period of three years
ending in September 2002. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as
interest rates change and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in
the statements of operations. AirNet does not use derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Capital expenditures totaled $9.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $13.8 million for the same period in
1999. Substantially all of the 2000 expenditures were incurred for aircraft
inspections, major engine overhauls and related


                                       10

flight equipment. AirNet anticipates it will have approximately $14.0 million in
total capital expenditures in 2000. AirNet anticipates it will continue to
acquire aircraft and flight equipment as necessary to maintain growth and
continue offering quality service to its customers.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM. AirNet announced a stock repurchase program in
February 2000 allowing AirNet to purchase up to $3.0 million of its common
shares. Management and the Board of Directors believe that AirNet's common
shares represent an excellent value and an appropriate investment. Purchases of
these common shares will be made over time in the open market or through
privately negotiated transactions. In the first half of 2000, AirNet repurchased
547,400 common shares for approximately $2.4 million. There was no additional
repurchase activity in the third quarter ending September 30, 2000.

AirNet anticipates that operating cash and capital expenditure requirements will
continue to be funded by cash flow from operations, cash on hand and bank
borrowings.

SEASONALITY AND VARIABILITY IN QUARTERLY RESULTS

AirNet's operations historically have been somewhat seasonal and somewhat
dependent on the number of banking holidays falling during the week. Because
financial institutions are currently AirNet's principal customers, AirNet's air
system is scheduled primarily around the needs of financial institution
customers. When financial institutions are closed, there is no need for AirNet
to operate a full system. AirNet's fiscal quarter ending December 31, is often
the most impacted by bank holidays (including Thanksgiving and Christmas)
recognized by its primary customers. When these holidays fall on Monday through
Thursday, AirNet's revenue and net income are adversely affected. AirNet's
annual results fluctuate as well.

Operating results are also affected by the weather. AirNet generally experiences
higher maintenance costs during its fiscal quarter ending March 31. Winter
weather often requires additional costs for de-icing, hangar rental and other
aircraft services.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES

AirNet is exposed to certain market risks from transactions that are entered
into during the normal course of business. AirNet's primary market risk exposure
relates to interest rate risk. At September 30, 2000, AirNet had a balance of
$27.4 million on its revolving credit facility. This facility bears interest at
AirNet's option, at a fixed rate determined by the Eurodollar rate, a negotiated
rate or a floating rate. Based on borrowings at September 30, 2000, a one
hundred basis point change in interest rates would impact net interest expense
by approximately $274,000 per year. As discussed in the liquidity and capital
resources section of Item 2, AirNet entered into two interest rate swap
agreements with a bank as a hedge against the interest rate risk associated with
borrowings.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

           On April 6, 2000, AirNet filed an action in the United States
           District Court for the District of Maryland seeking to recover on a
           $0.5 million debt owed to it by Continental Courier Systems, Inc. for
           overnight courier services performed.

           On April 27, 2000, Continental answered AirNet's complaint, denying
           any indebtedness to AirNet and asserting several counterclaims,
           including violations of federal antitrust laws and state law claims
           of fraud and tortious competition. Continental is seeking up to $0.8
           million on each claim and is seeking treble damages on the antitrust
           claims.

           On June 6, 2000, AirNet filed a motion to dismiss all of the
           counterclaims.

           On October 24, 2000, the Court ruled on AirNet's motion to dismiss
           and dismissed several of the asserted counterclaims. The Court did
           not dismiss the antitrust claims and in early November of 2000,
           AirNet filed a motion for reconsideration of that decision. AirNet
           believes that those counterclaims not yet dismissed are without merit
           and intends to vigorously defend against them. At this time, AirNet
           does not believe it is feasible to predict the outcome of either
           AirNet's claims nor Continental's counterclaims. The timing of the
           final resolution is also uncertain.
