                 CRYOPAK CORPORATION Cryomat Onboard Evaluation
                   for NORTHWEST AIRLINES January 27-29, 1998

INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE        This onboard evaluation was conducted to assess the effectiveness
               of using Cryomat  reusable ice substitute in current catering and
               onboard  procedures.  The onboard  handling  and  evaluation  was
               performed by Northwest  Airlines.  A Cryopak  representative  was
               onboard for consultation.

PROCEDURE      The setup for these tests  started in the flight  kitchen,  where
               the galley carts and carriers were prepared according to standard
               packing and provisioning specifications.

               Eight  temperature  recording  probes were activated and inserted
               into samples of milk, beer, wine,  fruit, crew meals, and entrees
               in identical  positions in each  flight.  A ninth probe  recorded
               ambient  air  temperature  around the carts and  carriers  during
               dispatch and was placed on the main cabin galley  counter for the
               duration of each flight.

               Northwest Flight 7 SEA-NRT January 27, 1998 used Cryomat reusable
               ice  substitute  as a  replacement  for Dry Ice in all classes of
               service where the equipment  required a cooling agent to maintain
               safe and pleasing temperatures.

               Northwest  Flight  8  NRT-SEA  January  29,  1998  used  Dry  Ice
               according to the standard procedure.

               The carts and  carriers  were  dispatched  and  delivered  to the
               aircraft galleys. In the galleys the equipment and onboard flight
               attendant  procedures  for all  classes of service  remained  the
               same.

               The doors of the  equipment  were opened for service on average 1
               hour after  departure  and were  closed 1 to 1-1/2  hours  later.
               Throughout  the  flight  they were also  reopened  and closed for
               other service times.

               Crew members and a Cryopak representative performed hourly visual
               evaluations  of the  Cryomat  and  recorded  their  findings on a
               special   evaluation  form  prepared  by  Cryopak  for  Northwest
               Airlines Inc.

               The  temperature  probe data was  converted  into  eight  charts,
               comparing  Cryomat and Dry Ice  performance for each of the eight
               probe positions.  These were assembled  together with the Onboard
               Evaluation Forms in this report.

EQUIPMENT      Nine  Temptale 3 temperature  monitor  probes were used to record
               temperatures.

         This graph is too detailed to be included in the electronic  version of
this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The  entree  probe for NW7 starts out at 44 F, jumps up to 46 degrees F
after  1 hour,  and  then  drops  down  to  about  42 F a 1/2  hour  later.  The
temperature  then rises slowly back up to reach 44 F after 3 hours,  then spikes
quickly up to 56 F a quarter  hour later and then back down to 44 degrees at the
3-1/2 hour mark.  The line then drops  raggedly down to about 42 F at the 5 hour
mark,  where  it  remains  until  the  9-1/2  hours  mark.  At this  point,  the
temperature slowly rises, ending up at about 48 F at the end of the test.

         The NW8 dry ice  probe  starts  at 42 F,  drops  down to 36 F after 1/2
hour, and then slowly climbs, hitting 63 F at the 2-3/4 hour mark. At this point
it drops slightly, reaching 57 F at the 4-1/4 mark, and then spikes again, up to
67 F at the 4-1/2 hour mark. The  temperature  hovers within a couple degrees of
64F until the 5-1/2 hour mark, at which point it rises up to reach 72 F at the 6
hour mark. The  temperature  then settles back down to 70F at the 6-1/4 mark and
remains approximately this temperature for the duration of the trip.

OBSERVATIONS   CRYOMAT: The entre was adequately pre-chilled and the Cryomat was
               effective in maintaining this temperature for the duration of the
               flight.

               DRY ICE: The entree was adequately pre-chilled and further cooled
               during delivery but warmed significantly early in the flight.

         This graph is too detailed to be included in the electronic  version of
this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The milk probe on NW7 starts out and 51 F and slopes downward, reaching
42 degrees F at the 3-3/4 hour mark and then rising up immediately to 43 F until
just before the 5-1/2 hour mark. The  temperature  then drops down to reach 32 F
at the 5-1/2  hour mark and stays at or near that  temperature  until the 10-1/2
hour mark. At this point, it climbs sharply up to reach 52 F at the 10- 1/4 hour
mark and 54 degrees at the 11 hour mark. The line then climbs up slowly,  ending
up at 58 F at the test end.

         On NW8, the dry ice probe temperature  begins at 43 F, drops down to 40
F after 1/2 hour and then slowly  climbs,  reaching 44 F at the1-1/2  hour mark.
The line  remains  constant  at this  temperature  for 1/2 hour,  then starts to
climb,  reaching  52 F just past the 2-1/2  hour mark and 54 F at the 3-1/2 hour
mark. It then slopes back down to 52 F at the 4 hour mark and then climbs upward
steadily until the test end, at which point it is just under the 66 F mark.

OBSERVATIONS   CRYOMAT: The milk was not adequately pre-chilled. The Cryomat was
               effective in bringing down and  maintaining  the  temperature for
               most of the flight.  Note:  The drop to 32 F was most likely from
               the probe being  disturbed  and  contacting  the side of the milk
               carton which was in contact with the Cryomat.

               DRY  ICE:  The  milk  was  adequately   pre-chilled   but  warmed
               significantly early in the flight.

         This graph is too detailed to be included in the electronic  version of
this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The fruit probe in the NW7 test starts at  approximately 63 F and drops
down to approximately 57 F after the first hour, then slopes more slowly down to
58 F at about the 2-1/2 hour mark,  where it stays  until just  before the 6-1/2
hour mark. At this point,  the line slopes up a bit,  reaching about 57 F at the
8-1/2 hour mark and staying there until  approximately the 10-3/4 hour mark. The
temperature  then  slopes  downward,  reaching  56 F at the 10-1/2 hour mark and
wavering at about that temperature for the duration of the test.

         The probe in the dry ice on NW8 started  slightly  above 44 F,  dropped
down to 42 F at the 1-1/2 hour mark, dipped down to 41 F and back to 42 F in the
next half-hour, and then continued climbing steadily,  ending up just above 58 F
at the test end, at approximately the 10-3/4 hour mark.

OBSERVATIONS:  CRYOMAT:  The fruit was not adequately  pre-chilled.  The Cryomat
               was effective in bringing down and  maintaining  the  temperature
               for the duration of the flight.

               DRY  ICE:  The  fruit  was  adequately   pre-chilled  but  warmed
               significantly during the flight.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The  probe  placed  in  the  dessert  on  NW7   registered  an  initial
temperature of 64 F and then sloped downward, reaching 54 F just after the 3-1/2
hour mark,  then  spiking up quickly to 56 F and back down to 54 F at the 4 hour
mark. The line continues to slope downward to 53 F at the 5 hour mark,  where it
remains until about the 6-1/4 mark. At this point,  the temperature  spikes back
up,  hitting 56 F at the 6-1/2 hour mark and then  sloping  back down to 44 F at
the 7 hour mark. The line curves back upwards next,  reaching 64 F at the 10-1/2
hour mark and leveling off just above 64 F for the duration of the test.

         The dry ice probe in the  dessert on NW8 starts out at 45 F, drops down
to 44 F at the  first 1/2 hour and then  slopes  down to about 35 F at the 1-3/4
mark. The line then begins to climb, reaching 48 F at the 3-1/2 hour mark and 64
F just  past the 5 hour  mark,  at which  point the curve  becomes  less  steep,
reaching 70 F at the 9 hour mark and remaining  constant just above 70 F for the
remainder of the test.

OBSERVATIONS:  CRYOMAT: The dessert was not adequately pre-chilled.  The Cryomat
               was effective in lowering and maintaining the temperature for the
               duration of the flight.

               DRY ICE:  The  dessert  was  adequately  pre-chilled  and further
               cooled  during  delivery  but warmed  significantly  early in the
               flight.

         This graph is too detailed to be included in the electronic  version of
this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The NW7 probe temperature begins at 41 F and curves downward,  reaching
a point between 38 and 39 F at the 2 hour mark and then slopes upward,  reaching
44 F at the 5-1/2 hour mark and  approximately 59 F at the test end at the 9-1/2
hour mark.

         The probe in the dry ice test on NW8 starts at a  temperature  of 43 F,
drops down to  approximately  39 F at the 1/4 hour mark,  back up to 42 F at the
1/2 hour mark, and then back downward to reach 34 F at a point between 1-1/4 and
1-1/2 hours. The line then darts up to reach 35 F just before the 1-3/4 mark and
then back down to about 33 F at just  after the  1-3/4  mark,  where it  remains
until the 2 hour mark. The temperature then begins to rise,  reaching just above
45 F just after the 2-1/4  hour mark and  remaining  there  until the 2-1/2 hour
mark. The line then curves upward  further,  reaching 64 F just before the 5-1/2
hour mark and then staggering upward more slowly,  reaching 70 F just before the
8 hour mark and ending up at about 73 F at test end.

OBSERVATIONS:  CRYOMAT:  The entree was adequately  pre-chilled  and the Cryomat
               was effective in  maintaining  this  temperature  for most of the
               flight.

               DRY ICE: The entree was adequately pre-chilled and further cooled
               to the freezing  point during  delivery but warmed  significantly

         This graph is too detailed to be included in the electronic  version of
this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         On NW7,  the probe  registers an initial  temperature  of 47 F and then
drops downward,  reaching 46 F at the 1 hour mark and approximately  45-1/2 F at
the 2 hour mark, where it remains until about the 3-1/2 hour mark. The line then
slopes gently upward, reaching 48 F at the 6-1/2 hour mark and about 53 F at the
12-1/2  hour mark,  then  dropping  down to 51 F at the 13 hour mark and spiking
back up to 52 F at the test end.

         The dry ice probe on NW8  begins at 43 F and drops  down to 32 F at the
1-3/4 hour mark. From there, it climbs upward,  reaching 46 F at the 4 hour mark
and ending the test at about 53 F.

OBSERVATIONS:  CRYOMAT:  The entree was adequately  pre-chilled  and the Cryomat
               was effective in maintaining this temperature for the duration of
               the flight.

               DRY ICE: The entree was adequately pre-chilled and further cooled
               to below freezing during delivery but warmed  significantly early
               in the flight.

         This graph is too detailed to be included in the electronic  version of
this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The NW 7 probe  begins at 49 F and drops  slowly  down to reach 42 F at
the 3-1/2 hour mark. The temperature  remains at approximately  this point until
the 4-1/2  hour  mark,  when it dips down to about  43-1/2 F and then back up to
about 43 F at the 4-3/4 hour mark.  From here,  the line  curves down to reach a
low of 38 F at the 6-1/4 hour mark,  where it remains  constant  until just past
the 7 hour  point,  at which time it rises  slowly  upward to 48 F at the 12-1/2
hour mark and then jumps up to just below 50 F at the test end.

         The dry ice probe on NW8 starts at 47 F and drops down to a low of just
under 42 F at about the 1-1/2 hour mark,  then  climbs up to reach about 47 F at
approximately the 3-3/4 hour point. The temperature then drops back down to just
under 46 F at the 3-1/2 hour point.  The line then climbs up to reach about 53 F
at the 4-1/4 mark and then back down to 50 F just  before the 4-1/2 hour  point.
The  temperature  then climbs back up to about 53 F at the 4-3/4 point and drops
down  again to 52 F at the 5 hour  mark,  remaining  at or  slightly  below this
temperature until the 6 hour mark. At that time, the line drops down to reach 50
F at the 6-1/2 hour mark,  where it remains for 1/2 hour,  then  climbs  upward,
reaching 53 F at the 10-1/4 mark. The temperature then dips quickly down to 52 F
and the back up to just above 54 F at the test end just  before the 10-1/2  hour
mark.

OBSERVATIONS:  CRYOMAT:  The  white  wine  was  adequately  pre-chilled  and the
               Cryomat was  effective in further  cooling and  maintaining  this
               temperature for the duration of the flight.

               DRY ICE: The white wine was  adequately  pre-chilled  and further
               cooled during delivery but warmed significantly early in flight.

this Form 20-F,  but has been  submitted in paper format to the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  A  description  of the  contents of the graph is provided
below.

         The vertical axis shows the temperature in degrees  Fahrenheit (F) from
32 to 92, while the  horizontal  axis  represents the time in hours from 0 to 13
hours, marked off at one hour intervals.  The ambient temperature for NW7 starts
at 65 F, drops down to about 58 F after 1/2 hour and then rises  raggedly  up to
80 F after 3-1/2 hours.  At this point it drops down,  reaching 68 degrees after
5-1/4  hours,  and then climbs up again to almost 88 degrees  after 6-1/2 hours.
The  ambient  temperature  then drops down to 72  degrees F after  7-1/2  hours,
spikes up to about 77 F at the 7-3/4 mark,  and the slopes down to 72 degrees at
the 10 hour mark, where it remains for the remainder of the trip.

         The ambient  temperature  for NW8 starts just above 72 F, drops down to
68 F after 1 hour,  and then rises  raggedly up to just above 80 F at the 3 hour
mark.  At this point it drops  down,  reaching 70 F at about the 4 hour mark and
remaining constant at this mark for the remainder of the trip.

         The beer probe on NW7 registers an initial temperature of 48 F and then
drops  down to just  above 44 F at the 2 hour  mark and 43 F at the  3-1/2  hour
mark,  where it remains  near  constant  until the hour point.  At this time the
temperature  drops  further,  reaching 42 F at the 9-1/2 hour mark and remaining
there  until just  before the 12 hour mark,  at which time it rises  slightly to
about 43 F at the end of the test.

         On NW8,  the dry ice beer probe  begins at 60 F and drops down to reach
just above 56 F at the 1-1/2 hour mark.  The  temperature  then climbs upward to
reach 60 F at the 3 hour point. The line remains at approximately this point for
a half hour, then climbs again,  reaching 66 F at the 4-1/2 hour mark,  where it
remains  waveringly  until just  before the 6 hour mark.  The  temperature  then
spikes upward  suddenly to just above 68 F at the 6 hour mark, then back down to
about 67 F. From this point,  it climbs slowly upward to 74 F at the 9-3/4 mark.
Within the next quarter hour, the  temperature  spikes up to about 77 F, down to
about  72-1/2 F and then back up to 76 F,  before  dropping  down to 64 F the 10
hour mark and to 61 F at the 10-1/4 mark.  The line next spikes  upward again to
about 73 F at the  10-1/2  hour  mark and then  back  down to about 70 F for the
remainder of the test.

OBSERVATIONS:  CRYOMAT:  The beer was adequately  re-chilled and the Cryomat was
               effective in maintaining this temperature for the duration of the
               flight.

               DRY ICE:  The  beer was not  adequately  pre-chilled  and  warmed
               significantly early in the flight.

                           CRYOMAT ONBOARD EVALUATIONS
                       NORTHWEST AIRLINES OVERALL COMMENTS

FLIGHT: NW #7   DATE: Jan 27, 98  CITY PAIR: SEA-NRT   GALLEY DEL TIME: 11:00 AM

                       Flight Attendant/Customer Comments

I liked being able to handle ice without  burning  hands and that ice itself was
not frozen into a block with  Cryomat.  I like the  product.  I think it will be
wonderful on all domestic flights, however on long haul oversea flights, I think
the product  along with a small  amount of dry ice would work in keeping the 2nd
service colder.

                         Cryomat to Dry Ice Comparisons

How  would  you  compare  the  use of  Cryomat  to Dry  Ice  in  actual  onboard
conditions?

1) Ease of handling: The ease of handling Cryomat is great.
                     --------------------------------------

2)  Consistent  cooling of product that is being  chilled for service:  Defrosts
quite fast. Only stay cool enough to chill when 3 or more packs were used.

3) General safety issues: Ease of handling.
                          -----------------

4) Other Suggest keeping some packed together and added to second service, space
permitting.

1) Line the beer tub  w/Cryomat  along the bottom and sides,  and place  already
cold beer  horizontal in tub, and fold Cryomat  doubled over on top (See Video).
This also leaves room in the tub for milk and wine.

2) Multi use. Good for chilling customers food and medicine and good for medical
use.

3) White wine should be moved to beer drawer - especially  domestic flights were
white/red wine and liquor.

                         Cryomat to Dry Ice Comparisons

How  would  you  compare  the  use of  Cryomat  to Dry  Ice  in  actual  onboard
conditions?

1) Ease of handling: Easier to handle than dry ice.

2) Consistent  cooling of product that is being chilled for service:  Very good,
beer and white wine will not freeze as with dry ice.

3) General safety issues: Won't burn hands when handled.  Does not produce CO2
like dry ice.


4) Other The only drawback would be storage to reuse Cryomat. Dry ice evaporates
so storage is not an issue.

                 CRYOPAK CORPORATION Cryomat Onboard Evaluation
                   for NORTHWEST AIRLINES January 27-29, 1998

CONCLUSIONS

               In this series of onboard tests Cryomat was used  exclusively for
               the  cooling  of items in all  classes  of  service  on Flight #7
               excluding  ice cream  where Dry Ice was used.  For  onboard  test
               purposes the amount of Cryomat used was  calculated  and based on
               current  equipment and  provisioning  guidelines set by Northwest
               Airlines.

               In all probe  locations  the  Cryomat  significantly  reduced the
               temperature of the items being chilled.  This occurred throughout
               a kitchen to service time of several hours,  the exposure to warm
               cabin air, and in some cases the lack of adequate pre-chilling of
               items. The Cryomat was extremely  effective in providing required
               cold items' temperatures for the duration of Flight #7.

               It was  noted  that  locations  2-9,  2-21  and  3-33A  were  not
               adequately  pre-chilled  at the  kitchen  but the Cryomat did not
               bring down the items'  temperature  and  maintained a temperature
               hold  as  required.  It is  recommended  that  if the  items  and
               equipment are not  pre-chilled  to standards,  Cryomat  should be
               doubled up.

ONBOARD EVALUATIONS

               These consisted of visual inspections, food and beverage sampling
               throughout both flights, and flight attendant comments.

               The visual  inspections  noted  whether  the  Cryomat was frozen,
               slushy or not frozen. It should be noted that Cryomat maintains a
               temperature of 32 degrees F until completely  melted.  As long as
               there is some "slush" in the  capsules  they are  maintaining  32
               degrees F.

COMMENTS FROM FLIGHT ATTENDANTS

               - Much easier to handle without burning hands
               - Multi-use product:  good for chilling customers' food, medicine
               and good for medicinal use, i.e. ice pak - Does not produce CO2 -
               Effective  and easy to handle - Unlike  Dry Ice,  Cryomat is odor
               free and will not taint food products

Special thanks to all the crew members on both Flights 7 and 8.
