NOTE 1:  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997, consolidat-
ed statement of earnings for the three month periods ended December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the
three month periods then ended were prepared by the Company, without audit. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows at December 31, 1997 and for all
periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's September 30, 1997
annual report on Form 10-KSB.  The results of operations for the periods
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the

                                                                   $63

NOTE 7:  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Long Term Debt-Affiliate
Included in this category are $8,204 of various demand loans due to Transtech
Holding Company, (Transtech), the Company's principle shareholder.  These
notes, classified as current maturities of long term debt, provide for
interest at 2% above the prime rate.  Also included is a note due Transtech
in the amount of $6,910, bearing a prime interest rate.  The note is
collateralized by a first priority interest on the fixed assets, inventory,
and accounts receivable of the Company.  Also, this category includes $548,
the balance due on the purchase of an airplane in July 1996 from R. Ted
Brant, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 
The note is due Cessna Corporation but remains in the name of Mr. Brant.  The
Company makes payments directly to Cessna.

Long Term Debt-Other
Included in this category is $3,500 due on an industrial revenue bond that
matures in 2014.

NOTE 8:  RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company is indebted to its major shareholder Transtech (holder of 42.2%
of common stock and 34.9% of preferred) in the amount of $14,975.  Relative
to this debt, the Company had accrued interest of $1,603 at December 31. 
During the three months ended December 31, 1997 the Company paid $114 of
interest and $139 of principal to Transtech.

The Company provides accounting services to Transtech for one fixed base
operation owned by it for a monthly fee of $1.

In January 1996 the Company purchased a 40% interest in a company called
Peakwood, L.L.C. for $150.  $115 of this amount was borrowed from the
following related parties:  Transportech, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Transtech Holding Co., $20; Maurice Lawruk, Company Director, $40; James
Affleck, Company Assistant Treasurer, $34; R. Ted Brant, Company Director and
CEO, $15; Bobby Adkins, Company Director, $4; and Alice Buford, a shareholder
of Transtech, $2.  The Company issued promissory notes bearing an interest
rate of 10% per annum with principal and interest due in February 1997.  At
that time the Company exercised its option contained within the notes to
extend them for one additional year.  All interest due and payable was paid
at the time of the extension.

The Company periodically uses an aircraft owned by Valley Air Services, Inc.
(Valley Air) for travel by its employees, primarily management.  Valley Air
bills the Company an hourly rate based on flight time.  The President and
Chief Executive Officer of Valley Air is R. Ted Brant.  During the three
months ended December 31, 1997 the Company was billed $41 for use of the
aircraft.

NOTE 9:  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

A.  Environmental Matters

The Company's business involves the storage, handling and sale of aviation
fuel; and the provision of mechanical maintenance and refurbishing services
which involve the use of hazardous chemicals.  Accordingly, the Company is
required to comply with federal, state and local regulations which have been
enacted to control the discharge of material into the environment or
otherwise relate to the protection of the environment.  As a normal course
of business, the Company from time to time discusses environmental compliance
with the appropriate environmental agency.

At December 31, 1997 the Company had accrued $402 for expenses related to
environmental protection, assessment and remediation matters at certain
locations based upon identified situations and cost estimates provided by
firms and individuals knowledgeable of such matters.  These estimates are
subject to change dependent upon additional information and revisions to
governing regulations.

The expenditures and accruals for environmental matters are specific in
nature to identified situations at Company locations.  The Company is
presently responsible for remediation projects at two locations previously
sold.  Due to uncertainties related to estimating both elapsed correction
time and the effectiveness of environmental remediation techniques utilized
to correct non-compliance situations, the Company may incur additional costs
in future periods related to these same situations.

B.  Litigation

Please refer to Part II, Item 1 on page 10 for a discussion of current
litigation matters.

Sales for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 increased $506 (24%)
same period in 1996.  Fuel sales increased $241 (18%) and sales of services
to commercial airlines increased $207 (120%).  The Company began operations
at Harrisburg International Airport in November 1997 but sales at that
location were only $54 through December because sales and service to general
aviation did not begin until January 1998.  The majority of sales were
services to commercial airlines.

Cost of sales in the current year has been reduced by 7% of sales to 43.4%
as compared to 50.4%.  About one-half of this reduction can be attributed to
the increase in sales of services to commercial airlines which have very
little related cost of sales.  The expenses incurred are labor and equipment
charges, which are classified as departmental costs.

Departmental costs increased $241 over the preceding year but only increased
34.9% to 37.4% as a percentage of sales.  $150 of the increase was payroll
and related expenses, and $44 was an increase in equipment rental, both
increases resulting from the increased sales.

Administrative costs increased $37 (16%) but decreased as a percentage of
sales from 11.1% to 10.4%.  $22 of the increase was the result of travel
expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital deficiency at December 31, 1997 increased by $220 to
($14,558) from September 30, 1997.  Current assets increased $132 due to an
increase in prepaid expenses of $122.  Current liabilities increased $352 as
a result of a $379 increase in accrued interest due to affiliate.

Operations during the three months ended December 31, 1997 provided $25 of
cash.  Additional cash of $145 was provided from the issuance of notes
payable.  $85 was used to purchase fixed assets and $162 was used to reduce
the principal amount of notes payable.

Management continues to review its options with respect to developing new
business opportunities and to maximize its return from existing businesses. 
Management is exploring several new business opportunities, such as the new
facility which opened at Harrisburg International Airport in November 1997. 
Management is considering several possible means of restructuring the
Company's debt and has reviewed opportunities to open or acquire additional
FBO's and is also reviewing various options in related business enterprises. 
However, there can be no assurance that the Company can be returned to
profitability or maintained as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is subject to several complaints filed over the last several
years in different courts or administrative agencies by different individual
former employees challenging the termination of their employment by the
Company on a variety of grounds.  These claims are encountered in the
ordinary course of business, and in the opinion of management, the resolution
of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position in excess of what
has already been recorded.  Management believes that it has established
adequate reserves for all of these claims.  Management also believes it has
strong defenses and intends to vigorously defend its position.

The Company is also exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted potential
claims encountered in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
management, the resolution of these matters, as well as those discussed above
or referenced elsewhere in this report, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position in excess of what has already been
recorded.  Management believes that it has established adequate reserves for
all of these claims.
