ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
- -----------------
Development of the Company
- --------------------------

         The primary business of the Company is the distribution and stocking of
factory new spare parts applicable to various commercial aircraft models and the
brokerage of a wide variety of new and reconditioned  aircraft parts through its
subsidiary  Fields  Aircraft  Spares  Incorporated,   a  California  corporation
("FAS").  The Company has, through a subsidiary  acquired in January 1998, begun
to manufacture,  on a selected basis,  certain aircraft spare parts.  Flightways
Manufacturing,  Inc.  ("Flightways"),  which the Company acquired,  manufactures
plastic  replacement  parts for aircraft  cabin  interiors.  In April 1998,  the
Company acquired Skylock Industries ("Skylock"),  a manufacturer of hardware and
retaining devices for aircraft interiors,  and intends to acquire other aircraft
cabin interior parts manufacturing companies.

         In 1984,  the Company was organized as FEP Resources,  Inc.,  under the
laws of the State of Utah. In 1985,  the Company was renamed  Fields  Industrial
Group,  Inc.  and  acquired  Fields  Industrial   Supply,   Inc.,  a  California
corporation  that was engaged in the sale of cutting tools and  supplies.  As of
1990, that business was  discontinued.  In 1987, the Company began  distributing
aircraft  parts.  In  1988,  the  Company  incorporated  FAS as a  wholly  owned
subsidiary. In 1995, McDonnell Douglas Corporation (together with its affiliates
and/or  divisions,  "MDC") acquired Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock of FAS
which  converted to common shares of the Company in 1997.  In 1995,  the Company
changed its name to Fields Aircraft Spares, Inc.

         On March 29, 1995,  the Company's  shareholders  authorized the reverse
split of the  Company's  common shares on the basis of 50 old shares for one new
share. The reverse split was effective as of November 20, 1995.

         All material aspects of the Company's business other than manufacturing
are  conducted  through  FAS.   Manufacturing  is  currently  conducted  through
Flightways and future manufacturing is expected to be conducted in subsidiaries.
The business of the Company as conducted  through FAS and Flightways is referred
to in this document as the Company's business. References in this document to

                                        2

the Company, where appropriate,  shall be deemed to be references to the Company
and its subsidiaries, collectively.

The Industry
- ------------

         According  to The Boeing  Company  ("Boeing"),  in their  1997  Current
Market  Outlook,  the world  jetliner  fleet is  projected  to grow from  11,500
airplanes at the end of 1996 to nearly 17,000 airplanes in 2006.  Boeing expects
this increase to be driven by an expected 5.5% per year growth in air travel and
6.6% in air cargo.

         In  its  23rd  annual   aviation   forecast,   the   Federal   Aviation
Administration  (the "FAA") projects that U.S.  airline  passenger  traffic will
increase  3.5% in 1998 and that it will  continue to grow at an average  rate of
3.7% through 2009. Further, the FAA projects  international  traffic to and from
the United States by foreign and domestic carriers will increase by 5.5% in 1998
with an average growth rate of 5.8% through 2009.

         Industry  analysts have  estimated that 70% of cargo growth will be met
by  converting  aging  passenger  fleets  to  cargo  configurations.  Management
believes the number of 10 year and older planes in service continues to climb as
cost considerations in an intensely competitive  environment favor the "used and
convert  instead  of  new"  purchase  decision.  This  has  contributed  to  the
absorption  of  surplus  aircraft  parts  and  inventories  at a faster  rate as
airlines extend aircraft utilization and convert aircraft into alternative uses.

         The Company believes that all of these trends provide the underpinnings
to the long-term growth of the aircraft spare parts industry.

Business of the Company

         Through  December 31, 1997, the primary business of the Company was the
distribution  and  stocking  of factory new spare  parts  applicable  to various
commercial  aircraft  models  and the  brokerage  of a wide  variety  of new and
reconditioned  aircraft  parts  through  FAS.  The  Company's  business has been
concentrated  in  the  distribution  and  stocking,  as  an  authorized  factory
distributor for various manufacturers, of cabin interior replacement parts for a
wide variety of commercial  aircraft  models.  The Company also distributes from
what it  believes to be the  largest  inventory,  outside of MDC, of factory new
parts  for  DC-8,  DC-9,  DC-10  and  MD-80  aircraft.  It  also  purchases  and
distributes  both  new and  used  parts  and  related  equipment  from  aircraft
manufacturers  for Boeing,  McDonnell  Douglas and Airbus aircraft.  The Company
sells, exchanges or leases parts to commercial aircraft operators servicing both
the  passenger  and  cargo  markets,  to  overhaul  facilities  and  to  brokers
throughout the world.

         In January 1998,  the Company,  through the  acquisition of Flightways,
expanded into the business of  manufacturing  aircraft cabin interior parts. The
Company  acquired  Skylock  in April  1998 and  intends  to  acquire  additional
strategic  manufacturing  entities  that will enhance the  Company's  ability to
compete.  In 1998, the Company expects that its business will be concentrated in
the  manufacturing and the distribution and stocking,  as an authorized  factory
distributor for various manufacturers, of cabin interior replacement parts for a
wide variety of commercial aircraft models.

         Distributorships
         ----------------

         The Company provides distribution services for manufacturers ("OEM") of
aircraft  aftermarket  replacement spare parts. The Company  concentrates on the
stocking  and  distributing  of  interior  cabin  parts  and  is  an  authorized
distributor  for a number of OEMs providing  replacement  parts for  lavatories,
galleys,  seats, interior latches, tray tables,  lighting and cleaning products.
The  Company  primarily  sells these parts to major air  carriers  and  overhaul
facilities. In some cases, the Company has agreements or purchasing arrangements
designating it as the sole or primary source for specific replacement parts. The
Company's  acquisition  strategy as set forth below is also focused on acquiring
selected manufacturers and distributing its own manufactured parts.

         The Company  provides  inventory  management and supply services to air
carriers and aircraft overhaul facilities. By working closely with customers and
aircraft  maintenance  records,  the Company forecasts  replacement part demand,
purchases  estimated  demand from the OEMs,  inventories  the parts  pending the
order,  and then  supplies the parts to the customers on a  just-in-time  basis.
This  service  allows the  customers to reduce the cost of carrying and managing
inventory.  Further,  by consolidating  orders,  the Company is able to purchase
from OEMs at favorable  prices,  allowing it to sell to its  customers at prices
often below those available to the customer when buying direct from the OEM.

         During 1997,  the Company  served as the  exclusive  source of specific
replacement  parts for galleys,  lavatories and seats for two major airlines and
one regional  carrier.  The Company is in varying stages of negotiations  with a
number of other airlines to become their  exclusive  source of various  interior
replacements parts. No formal agreements have been reached with other airlines.

         As of December 31, 1997, backlog of distributorship orders for shipment
in 1998, which the Company believes to be firm, was approximately  $2.3 million.
There was backlog of approximately $1.6 million of distributorship  orders as of
December 31, 1996.

         McDonnell Douglas Components and Parts
         --------------------------------------

         The Company  believes that it has the largest  factory new inventory of
DC-8,  DC-9, DC- 10 and MD-80 parts outside of MDC. This  inventory  consists of
over $70  Million,  catalog  value,  of factory new spare  parts and  components
purchased directly from MDC in 1989 and 1991. MDC inventory is generally sold at
a discount to catalog value.  The total future  discount to catalog value cannot
be quantified at this time.

         An important factor in the aircraft spare parts distribution  market is
the  documentation or traceability that is supplied with an aircraft spare part.
MDC has re-certified the Company's MDC inventory as directly  traceable to their
production  certificate,  and it is the  only  inventory  known  to the  Company
outside  of  MDC's  direct  control  that  has been  certified  to allow  MDC to
repurchase  and ship to customers  without  having to go through  their  quality
control department for a source inspection.

         Based upon its market research, the Company believes that in many cases
parts in this inventory are the only new material and in many cases are the only
material available in any condition.

                                        4
<PAGE>

         Once the Company's MDC inventory is depleted,  this segment of business
will no longer be a revenue source for the Company.

         Brokerage Activities
         --------------------

         The Company  receives  inquiries  from its customers for parts that are
not currently  held in its  inventory.  The  salesperson  receiving this request
checks a computerized  industry  database known as the Inventory Locator Service
("ILS")  and  utilizes  the  knowledge  of the Company and its staff to locate a
suitable  part.  Once located,  a purchase price is agreed with the owner of the
part. At that time, the sales person  contacts the customer and extends a quote.
If the quote is accepted by the customer,  the part is purchased and shipment to
the Company's  warehouse is arranged.  When received at the warehouse,  both the
part  and  its  accompanying  paperwork  are  inspected.  After  inspection  and
acceptance, the part is shipped to the customer.

         Because of government and industry group guidelines, aircraft operators
have become  increasingly  careful from whom they buy parts. The Company has had
its quality control systems and procedures  audited and evaluated by MDC as well
as by a number of major airlines and freight operators.  Almost every major U.S.
airline,  freight  operator and overhaul  facility has designated the Company as
either an approved or preferred  vendor.  This preferred  status has enabled the
Company to act as a broker to purchase  parts for airlines when the Company does
not have the parts in stock.

         Because parts for brokerage  are not  purchased  until a  corresponding
sale has been made, it is less capital  intensive  than the purchase and sale of
inventory. Brokerage allows incremental increases in sales without corresponding
increases in overhead.

         New Material Acquisition
         ------------------------

         The Company uses  information  provided by its  customers  and industry
research to identify new parts and materials that  customers have  difficulty in
obtaining on short notice.  The Company then stocks  inventories  of these items
and makes them  available to its  customers on a  just-in-time  basis as well as
through the ILS.

         Manufacturing
         -------------

         Through  Flightways,  acquired in 1998, the Company  manufacturers high
quality  plastic  replacement  components  for  commercial  aircraft  seats  and
interiors,  including  foodtrays,  latches,  shrouds,  panels,  armcaps,  bumper
strips, escutcheons,  and components for lavatories,  galleys, cockpits, windows
and overhead units. The Company sells new parts to aircraft manufacturers and to
airlines and aircraft repair facilities.  Also, through its repair station,  the
Company overhauls and repairs seats, seating components, carts and modules.

         The customers of Flightways  include U.S.  domestic airlines as well as
an increasing number of international carriers. The Company intends to initially
operate Flightways out of its Van Nuys,  California,  facility.  The Company may
eventually consolidate its corporate headquarters with that of Flightways into a
larger  facility.  The  Company  will  deliver  the  products  and  services  of
Flightways through the Company's distribution system.

                                        5
<PAGE>

         In April 1998, the Company  acquired 100% of the outstanding  shares of
Skylock.  Skylock is a designer  and  manufacturer  of  hardware  and  retaining
devices for aircraft interiors.  Skylock focuses on using advanced  technologies
and  manufacturing  methods to optimize  such critical  elements as  appearance,
weight, ease of use and security.

         Consignments
         ------------

         In 1995, the Company entered into a three-year consignment  arrangement
to  warehouse  and market  spare  parts for  Airweld  of  Kentucky,  Inc.  Other
consignment arrangements are currently under negotiation, although no assurances
can  be  made  that  the  Company  will  be  successful   in  completing   those
negotiations.   Under  such  consignment  arrangements,  the  consignor  retains
ownership and the Company arranges the sales for the consignor.

         Parts warehoused by the Company under consignment arrangements are also
listed by the Company in the SPEC 2000 and the ILS  computerized  databanks.  In
addition, the Company adds the consignment inventories to the inventory listings
that it provides its customers in computer readable form.

Business Growth Strategy
- ------------------------

         The Company intends to pursue the following areas of growth:

         Obtain Additional  Distributorships.  The Company intends to pursue and
secure   additional   distributorships   with  other   aircraft  cabin  interior
manufacturers.  In addition,  the Company intends to expand its  distributorship
activities to other aircraft parts and systems.

         Acquisitions.  The aircraft  industry is populated by a large number of
small manufacturing  companies  providing a variety of parts and services.  With
the worldwide  demand for aircraft  increasing  and the growth in outsourcing by
air carriers,  along with their desire to reduce the number of vendors they deal
with,  the Company  believes  there is  significant  opportunity to grow through
acquisition.

         Capitalize on Authorized Vendor Status. The Company has been authorized
as a  vendor  of  record  by most  major  air  carriers  and  aircraft  overhaul
facilities.  This  provides  the  opportunity  to  expand  sales  with  existing
customers,  as those  customers  work to reduce the number of vendors  they deal
with. Also, as the owner of what management believes to be the largest inventory
of factory new MDC parts outside of MDC,  customers would be reluctant to remove
the Company as a vendor,  which gives the Company a marketing advantage over the
competition.

         Brokerage. The increasing population of aircraft in service is expected
to increase the demand for parts.  With its  relationships in the industry,  its
status as a vendor to most major air carriers and its reputation for quality and
service,  the Company  intends to take advantage of this growing  segment of the
market.

         Expand new parts and material  sales.  The Company  intends to increase
inventories  of parts that  customers  have trouble  obtaining on a timely basis
with the goal of providing complete inventory  management and supply services to
air carriers.

                                        6

Operations
- ----------

         The Company maintains an inventory  consisting primarily of factory new
aircraft  spare parts in its  warehouse in Fillmore,  California.  The Company's
inventory  is listed in two  computerized  data banks that are  available to the
airline industry:  SPEC 2000 and the ILS. The Company pays a fee to be listed on
such  systems and  continually  updates the  Company  information  listed on the
systems to keep them  current.  In addition,  the Company  provides an inventory
listing in computer  readable form to many of its major  customers.  The Company
receives orders for spare parts from  commercial  aircraft  operators  servicing
both the passenger and cargo markets, from overhaul facilities and from brokers.
The Company currently has seven full-time inside  salespersons and six full-time
outside   salespersons.   Additionally,   the  Company  is   represented  on  an
international basis by a number of independent outside general sales agents.

         Orders for parts in inventory are filled and shipped, 24 hours per day,
F.O.B.  from the  warehouse,  generally  within five hours of the receipt of the
order.  The Company  believes that a quick  turn-around  time,  between an order
being  taken  and the part  being  delivered,  is a key  service  for  which the
customer is willing to pay.  Reducing the time that an aircraft is on the ground
is a  major  advantage  the  Company  offers  to its  customers.  The  Company's
warehouse  is 60  minutes  from  Los  Angeles  International  Airport  and has a
delivery service to the airport.  In addition,  the Company utilizes  commercial
cargo carriers to deliver spare parts to the Los Angeles  airport and around the
world. The Company  emphasizes its ability to respond quickly in obtaining parts
for its customers.

         The  Company's  business  exposes it to  possible  claims for  personal
injury or death which may result from the failure of an aircraft spare part sold
or  manufactured  by it.  While the  Company  maintains  what it  believes to be
adequate  liability  insurance  to  protect  it from such  claims,  and while no
material claims have, to date, been made against the Company no assurance can be
given that claims will not arise in the future or that such  insurance  coverage
will be adequate.

Pricing
- -------

         The  price at which  the  Company  sells  parts  is based  upon  market
competition.

Marketing
- ---------

         The  Company  currently  concentrates  its  marketing  efforts  in  the
following areas:

                  (i) commercial  airlines servicing the passenger market;  (ii)
                  commercial airlines servicing the cargo market; (iii) aircraft
                  leasing companies; and (iv) overhaul facilities.

         As the Company expands into  manufacturing,  it intends to continue its
marketing  efforts in these areas and to add marketing efforts aimed directly at
OEM's.

                                        7
<PAGE>

         The Company has not conducted  any formal  market  studies to determine
the actual size of each of its current and any proposed markets, and relies upon
the experience of its officers and key employees for such judgments.

         The Company sells its products through three primary methods:

                  1. The use of its own sales staff which currently  includes 13
salespersons. This staff calls on customers and potential customers to determine
the needs of such  customers  and responds to incoming  calls.  Once the need is
determined, the order is then sent to the Company's warehouse.

                  2. The use of computerized parts database systems.

                  3. The use of exclusive and non-exclusive general sales agency
agreements.

         The  Company  has  developed   literature  and   advertising   material
describing the Company's products and services. The literature is distributed by
the  Company's  sales staff and  agents,  as well as by mail,  to  previous  and
current  customers,  persons who have  responded  to previous  advertising,  and
companies believed to be engaged in the relevant market.

         The Company  also uses media  advertising,  such as trade  journals and
technical  publications,  directed toward specific market segments. In addition,
the Company  attends  trade shows and puts on  exhibitions  directed to specific
market segments.

         During the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1997,  two  customers of the
Company each  accounted  for more than 10% of sales.  No other  single  customer
accounted for more than 10% of the Company's sales. During the 1996 fiscal year,
one of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of sales.

         In an effort to increase  foreign sales,  the Company intends to engage
additional independent representatives to serve foreign markets.

Competition
- -----------

         The  Company  competes  with a number  of large and  small  sellers  of
aircraft spare parts in the aviation  after-market.  These  competitors  include
OEM's such as Boeing,  aircraft  service  companies  and  aircraft  spare  parts
redistributors.  The major aircraft service  companies and aircraft spares parts
redistributors with which the Company competes include AAR Corp., AGES, Aviation
Sales and The Memphis Group. For many of the Company's competitors,  the sale of
aircraft  spare  parts  is  only  a  part  of  larger  sales   operations.   The
manufacturing  segments of the aviation industry in which Flightways and Skylock
operate are  considered to be highly  fragmented  and  competitive.  Many of the
Company's  competitors are larger and more established than the Company and have
greater  financial  resources and larger  facilities and marketing  forces.  The
Company's increased emphasis during the past two years on  distributorships  and
its  current  expansion  into  manufacturing  has  exposed  the  Company  to new
competitors.

         Although the Company has not performed any market  survey  studies,  it
believes that industry competition is based primarily upon service, price and

                                        8

reputation of the supplier. The Company believes that it is competitive and that
it  enjoys a good  reputation.  There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that the
Company has, or can  maintain,  a  significant  competitive  advantage in any of
these areas.

Government Regulation
- ---------------------

         The  Company's  business is regulated in the United  States by the FAA.
The FAA has numerous regulations that must be complied with by the Company.

         The  Company is  subject to U.S.  federal  governmental  regulation  on
foreign sales of its products. Depending on the type of product, the Company may
be subject to review by various federal  agencies for a determination of whether
the specific product is a high technology product subject to restriction. Export
licenses may be denied for certain high technology products.  If such a decision
is rendered,  the Company may experience  substantial time delays and expense in
the  application  and approval of export  licenses.  If export  licenses are not
granted,  the Company  would be precluded  from selling such products in certain
foreign markets.

         The  Company's  sales in  foreign  countries  are  subject  to  various
applicable  foreign  governmental  regulations.  To date,  compliance  with such
regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.


Financing Arrangements
- ----------------------

         McDonnell Douglas Corporation Contracts
         ---------------------------------------

         In 1995, the Company and MDC entered into a Debt Restructure  Agreement
and related agreements  (collectively the "MDC Agreement") pursuant to which MDC
canceled  $7,658,500 of debt owed by the Company in exchange for 586,862  shares
of Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock of FAS (the  "Series A Shares") and a
cash payment of $850,000.

         In connection with the MDC Agreement,  the Company and MDC entered into
a  Securities  Exchange  Agreement  of even  date  with the MDC  Agreement  (the
"Exchange  Agreement").  The  Exchange  Agreement  provided  for  the  mandatory
exchange  of the Series A Shares for 25% of the  issued and  outstanding  common
shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis within 10 days following the date
on which the common  shares were  approved  for  quotation,  and were quoted for
trading  on, The  Nasdaq  Stock  Market(SM)  as a SmallCap  issue.  The  Company
exchanged  the MDC Series A Shares for 564,194  common  shares on April 4, 1997.
The Exchange  Agreement  further provided for the Company to register the common
shares issued to MDC in  connection  with the Exchange  Agreement  under certain
circumstances.

         Peter  Frohlich,  Alan Fields and Lawrence Troyna (each an affiliate of
the Company and collectively referred to as the "Fields' Group") and the Company
and MDC entered into a Voting Agreement of even date with the MDC Agreement (the
"Voting Agreement"). The Voting Agreement provides that MDC will vote the common
shares  owned  by MDC in favor  of  directors  proposed  by the  Fields'  Group,
provided MDC has the right to designate up to 25% of the  directors  proposed if
MDC so elects.

         Credit Arrangements
         -------------------

         In 1995,  the  Company,  through  FAS,  entered  into a line of  credit
arrangement   (the  "Credit   Agreement")  with  Norwest  Business  Credit  Inc.
("Norwest")  providing  originally  for a  line  of  credit  in  the  amount  of
$10,000,000  with interest payable monthly at 2.5% over the prime rate. In March
1997,  an Eighth  Amendment  to the  Credit  Agreement  was  entered  into which
permitted the Company to have outstanding $6,131,000.

         On April 18, 1997, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries entered into
separate Loan and Security Agreements for an aggregate of up to $10,000,000 with
NationsCredit Commercial Funding ("NationsCredit") at an annual interest rate of
prime plus 3%. All assets of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  are pledged as
collateral.  NationsCredit  advanced $6,717,000 on April 18, 1997 which was used
to repay the  obligations  owed to Norwest and other fees incurred in connection
with the NationsCredit loan facility.  In connection with the NationsCredit loan
facility,  the Company issued  NationsCredit  an option to acquire 40,000 common
shares of the Company at a price of $6.25 per share.

         In September 1997, the NationsCredit loan facility was amended to allow
the Company to issue 8.5%  Subordinated  Redeemable  Debentures  Due 2000 in the
principal amount of $10,000,000.

         In connection with the Norwest and NationsCredit credit facilities, the
Company  retained a  financial  advisor to assist the Company in  obtaining  and
closing the credit facilities. At the closing of each facility, the Company paid
the  financial  advisor a fee of  $200,000.  The  Company  also  entered  into a
contract  with the  financial  advisor in February  1995  whereby the  financial
advisor would provide ongoing  consulting to the Company.  The contract provided
for the  Company  to pay the  financial  advisor a  non-refundable  retainer  of
$150,000,  which was payable over the period of the contract. The agreement with
the financial advisor lapsed in February 1998.

Employees
- ---------

         At  December  31,  1997,  the Company had  approximately  33  full-time
employees.  Following the  acquisition of Flightways in January 1998, the number
of employees  increased to approximately  138 full-time  employees.  None of the
employees are unionized. Management is of the opinion that its relationship with
its employees is good.  Management  believes  that,  although  unemployment  has
dropped substantially in the aviation industry,  persons with requisite training
and experience are available to meet Company needs if and when necessary.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
- --------------------------------

         The executive offices of the Company are located at 2251-A Ward Avenue,
Simi  Valley,  California  and its  telephone  number  is  (805)  583-0080.  The
executive  office space  consists of  approximately  5,000 square feet of office
space  located in a  two-story  building.  The  offices are leased on a month to
month basis.

         The  Company's  warehouse  is  located  at 341  "A"  Street,  Fillmore,
California.  The warehouse  building was leased by the Company in 1988. In 1991,
the Company  exercised an option to purchase the  building.  The warehouse is an
older  produce-packing  building  of  wood  and  concrete  construction  with  a
high-ceiling  upper floor and a concrete  lower/basement  floor,  all clear span
except for wooden  pillar  supports.  The total  storage area for both floors is
83,600 sq. ft. Exterior open-air storage area (secured) is approximately  18,700
sq. ft. A modern  fire-prevention system with a ceiling water pressure sprinkler
system is installed on both floors.  A visual/aural  monitoring  security system
operates inside the building and in all the exterior  property  contained within
the fenced area.

         On  January  16,  1998,  the  Company   completed  its  acquisition  of
Flightways.  Flightways  operates in a  manufacturing  facility  located at 7660
Densmore Avenue, Van Nuys, California.  The manufacturing  facilities consist of
approximately  3,000  square  feet of office  space and  12,000  square  feet of
manufacturing space. The lease on the property expires July 31, 1999.

         Flightways  also leases  approximately  5,000  square feet of warehouse
space located at 16153 Covello, Van Nuys,  California.  The space is leased on a
month to month basis.

         On March 21, 1997, the Company signed a lease effective  August 1, 1997
for  executive  offices  and  warehousing  space.   Subsequently,   the  Company
determined  that these  premises were too small for the Company and the premises
were sublet to a third party at a rent resulting in a small profit to Company.

         The Company  maintains an executive office located in London,  England.
The office is leased from a third party by Belgravia  Sales  Financial  Services
Limited, an entity owned and controlled by certain officers of the Company,  and
is  sublicensed  to the Company on a month to month basis at a monthly rental to
the Company of $2,150.  The  underlying  lease  expires  September of 1999.  See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR common shares AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information
- ------------------

         Until  May 17,  1996,  there  was no market  for the  Company's  common
shares.  The common  shares were quoted  over-the-counter  under the symbol FASS
until March 25, 1997.  Commencing  March 26, 1997, the common shares were quoted
on The Nasdaq Stock Market(SM) as a SmallCap issue under the symbol FASI.

         The Nasdaq Stock  Market(SM),  which began  operation  in 1971,  is the
world's first electronic  securities market and the fastest growing stock market
in the U.S.  Nasdaq utilizes  today's  information  technologies--computers  and
telecommunications--to  unite  its  participants  in a  screen-based,  floorless
market.  It enables market  participants to compete with each other for investor
orders in each Nasdaq security and, through the use of Nasdaq Workstation II(TM)
and other  automated  systems,  facilitates  the  trading  and  surveillance  of
thousands of securities. This competitive marketplace, along with the many

                                       12
<PAGE>

products and  services  available  to issuers and their  shareholders,  attracts
today's largest and fastest growing companies to Nasdaq.  These include industry
leaders in computers,  pharmaceuticals,  telecommunications,  biotechnology, and
financial  services.  More domestic and foreign companies list on Nasdaq than on
all other U.S. stock markets combined.

         The following table sets forth, for the fiscal quarters indicated,  the
high and low bid quotations as reported by the National  Quotation  Bureau until
March 25, 1997 and  thereafter by The Nasdaq Stock  Market(SM).  The  quotations
quoted by the National  Quotation  Bureau  reflect  inter-dealer  prices without
retail  mark-up,   mark-down  or  commission,   and  may  not  represent  actual

Shareholders
- ------------

         At December 31,  1997,  the number of record  holders of the  Company's
common shares was  approximately  260. The Company  believes it has in excess of
300 round lot  shareholders  of  beneficial  interest  of the  Company's  common
shares. The Company has no outstanding preferred shares.

Dividends
- ---------

         The Company  utilizes all available funds for working capital  purposes
and has never paid a dividend.  Management does not anticipate  paying dividends
in the  foreseeable  future on common  shares.  In addition,  the Company's loan
arrangements  restrict  the  payment of  dividends  by the  subsidiaries  of the
Company. There are no preferred shares currently outstanding. In the future, the
Company may issue preferred shares which may pay dividends.

Issuance of Shares Without Registration
- ---------------------------------------

         During the fourth  quarter of the year ended  December  31,  1997,  the
Company  issued  the  following   securities  without   registration  under  the
Securities Act of 1933:

         As of September  30, 1997,  the Company  closed a private  placement of
$10,000,000 principal amount of 8.5% Subordinated Redeemable Debentures Due 2000
(the  "Debentures")  to non-United  States persons pursuant to Regulation S. The
holders of Debentures have a one-time right at any time after December 29, 1997,
through September 27, 2000, subject to prior redemption or repurchase, to

                                       13
<PAGE>

convert  up to 30%  (less  any  amounts  converted  pursuant  to  the  Mandatory
Conversion  described  below) of the principal  amount of Debentures into common
shares.  The conversion  price (the  "Conversion  Price") is equal to 85% of the
average  closing price of the Company's  common shares during the 20-trading day
period  ending on the date of notice of  conversion,  but in no event  less than
$12.00 per share, subject to certain  adjustments.  In the event that during any
20-trading day period,  the average closing price of the common shares equals or
exceeds $12.00 per share, the Company may require the conversion of up to 20% of
the  principal  amount  of  outstanding   Debentures  at  the  Conversion  Price
("Mandatory   Conversion").   Etablissement  Pour  le  Placement  Prive,  Zurich
Switzerland  ("EPP") acted as the Company's  placement  agent in connection with
the offering.  In addition to its commissions of 8% of the offering  price,  EPP
also  received  placement fee of $175,000 and 15,000  common  shares,  valued at
$172,500.  After  brokerage  and  issuance  costs,  the  sale of the  Debentures
resulted in a net infusion of capital of approximately $8,850,000.

         On October 13, 1997 the Company issued 5,000 common shares to EPP at an
agreed on value of $11.50 per share as part payment for consulting services.

         Pursuant to its  Mandatory  Conversion  right,  the  Company  converted
approximately  $2,000,000 principal amount of Debentures at the Conversion Price
of $12.00 per share.  Accordingly,  on November 14, 1997, 166,666 common shares,
at  $12.00  per  share,  were  issued  to  Debentureholders   and  approximately
$2,000,000 principal amount of Debentures were cancelled.

         As of February 20, 1998, the Company entered into a First  Supplemental
Indenture (the  "Supplement")  to the Indenture,  dated as of September 30, 1997
(the  "Indenture"),  between the  Company  and EPP, as Trustee,  relating to the
Company's  Debentures.  The  Supplement  provides  that,  solely at the holder's
option,  (a) from  February  20,  1998 to June 30,  1998,  20% of each  holder's
original principal amount of Debentures may be converted into common shares at a
conversion  price of $9.75 per  common  share;  (b) from  February  20,  1998 to
September 30, 1998, an additional 20% of each holder's original principal amount
of  Debentures  may be converted  into common  shares at a  conversion  price of
$11.00 per common share; and (c) from February 20, 1998 to December 31, 1998, an
additional 20% of each holder's  original  principal amount of Debentures may be
converted  into common shares at a conversion  price of $13.00 per common share.
EPP shall  receive a fee equal to 3% of all  amounts  converted  pursuant to the
Supplement.

         These  additional  conversion  amounts are in addition to the Mandatory
Conversion.  Pursuant  to the  Indenture,  an  additional  10%  of the  original
principal  amount of Debentures may be converted,  at the option of the holders,
prior to September 27, 2000.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         To date, the Company has not achieved sustained  profitable  operations
for a full fiscal year. The Company has, however, been profitable in each of the
last three quarters of 1997. The Company may incur losses in the future. If such
losses do occur,  the Company may be  required to reduce its  inventory  and its
marketing efforts and seek additional financing.

</TABLE>

         Operations  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  for the year  ended
December 31, 1997  generated  operating  income of  $1,538,000,  up by 918% from
$151,000 for 1996. The increase in operating income for the year is attributable
to an increase in sales and the resulting increase in gross profit.

          Sales for the year ended December 31, 1997 were  $12,101,000  compared
to $5,734,000 for 1996, an increase of approximately 111%. The increase in sales
was made up of an increase in  after-market  aircraft  inventory  management and
supply sales and brokerage  sales of 164% and an increase in MDC inventory sales
of 29%.

         Costs of goods sold for the year ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$7,214,000 and  $2,975,000,  respectively  (approximately  60% and 52% of sales,
respectively).  The  reduction in the gross margin  percentage  is a result of a
change in the product mix of sales.

          Operating expenses increased to $3,349,000 for the year ended December
31,  1997  from  $2,608,000  for the year  ended  December  31,  1996.  This was
principally attributable to the increase in sales activity.

         During the year ended  December  31,  1996,  the Company  recognized  a
nonrecurring  gain of $949,000 in connection with a certain  casualty  insurance
claim. There were no nonrecurring  gains in 1997.  Interest expense increased to
$1,676,000  from  $1,338,000  for the years ended December 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996, respectively.  The increase is entirely attributable to an accelerated
amortization  of  original  loan  costs  and  other  fees  associated  with  the
refinancing of the Company's primary loan with Norwest.  See "Liquidity"  below.
Without the approximately  $340,000 representing  amortization of loan costs and
other  fees  associated  with the  repayment  of the  Norwest  loan,  which  was
recognized in the first quarter of 1997, the Company would have been  profitable
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

                                       16
<PAGE>

         The  Company had a net loss in 1997 of  $147,000,  as compared to a net
loss in 1996 of  $242,000,  a decrease in loss of $95,000.  The net loss for the
year ended  December 31, 1997 was entirely due to the  nonrecurring  accelerated
amortization  of loan costs  described in the prior  paragraph.  Any  comparison
between  the  two  periods  should  also  take  into   consideration   the  1996
nonrecurring income as described above.


Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
- --------------------------------------

         Sales for the year ended  December 31, 1996  increased by $145,000,  or
3%, to  $5,734,000  as compared to  $5,589,000  for the year ended  December 31,
1995.  The  increase  in  net  sales  was  attributable  to a  71%  increase  in
distributorship and brokerage sales offset by a decrease of 36% in MDC inventory
gross  sales.  The  trend of  overall  increasing  net  sales  and the  shift to
distributorship  and  brokerage  sales is  evidenced  by 1997 sales as described
above.

         Cost of  goods  sold  for  1996  increased  by  $513,000,  or  21%,  to
$2,975,000 from $2,462,000 in 1995. Cost of goods sold were 52% of sales in 1996
compared  to 44% of net  sales  in  1995.  The  reduction  in the  gross  margin
percentage is a result of the increasing  proportion of total sales  represented
by brokerage and distributorship  transactions as opposed to MDC inventory where
the margins are larger.

         Operating expenses for 1996 increased by $194,000,  or 8% to $2,608,000
as  compared  to  $2,414,000  for  1995.  Operations  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries for 1996 generated a profit of $151,000, as compared to $713,000 in
the prior year. The reduction of $562,000 in the profit from  operations in 1996
is  attributable  to an increase in operating  expenses and a reduction in gross
margin  as a result  of the  shift  in sales  mix.  Interest  expense  increased
$175,000 or 15% from $1,163,000 in 1995 as compared with $1,338,000 in 1996. The
major portion of the increase in general and  administrative  expenses  resulted
from   additional   staffing   costs   incurred   to  generate   the   increased
distributorship  and brokerage sales.  Interest expense  increased because of an
increase in the rate charged by the Company's  primary lender and because of the
fees associated with several amendments to the Credit Agreement.

         During 1996,  the Company  recognized a  nonrecurring  gain of $949,000
from  the  recovery  of a  casualty  insurance  claim  as a  result  of the 1994
earthquake. During 1995, the Company recognized a $4,759,000 gain on exchange of
debt as a  result  of the  exchange  of  preferred  stock  of a  subsidiary  for
$6,809,000 of debt of that  subsidiary.  In addition,  the Company  recognized a
nonrecurring gain of $183,000 from the sale of a subsidiary.

         As a result of the  foregoing,  the  Company  had a net loss in 1996 of
$242,000,  as  compared  to net  income in 1995 of  $4,547,000,  a  decrease  of
$4,789,000.


Liquidity
- ---------

         At December 31, 1997 the Company had working capital (current assets in
excess of current  liabilities)  of $17,740,000  compared to working  capital of
$2,434,000  on December  31, 1996.  The  increase in  liquidity is  attributable
principally to obtaining the  NationsCredit  credit  facility and an increase in
cash  as a  result  of the  Company's  receipt  of  the  proceeds  of a sale  of
$10,000,000 principal amount of Debentures. See "Market For common shares and

                                       17
<PAGE>

Related Shareholder Matters -- Issuance of Shares Without  Registration."  These
changes, coupled with an increase in distributorship  inventory,  were partially
offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

         Operating activities used $2,681,000 and $350,000 of the Company's cash
flow for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the prior year, respectively.  The
major  usage of cash  resulted in  increases  in  inventory  of  $2,950,000  and
accounts receivable of $448,000 and these were only partly offset by an increase
in accounts payable of $375,000.

         As of January 1, 1997, the Company's  outstanding  amount on its Credit
Agreement with Norwest was $6,232,000 at an interest rate of 15.25%.

         On April 18, 1997, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries entered into
separate Loan and Security Agreements for an aggregate of up to $10,000,000 with
NationsCredit  at an  annual  interest  rate of  prime  plus  3%.  NationsCredit
advanced  $6,717,000  on April 18, 1997 which was used to repay the  obligations
owed to Norwest and other fees  incurred in  connection  with the  NationsCredit
loan facility.  In connection with the NationsCredit loan facility,  the Company
issued NationsCredit an option to acquire 40,000 common shares of the Company at
a price of $6.25 per share.

         As of November 14, 1997,  approximately  $2,000,000 principal amount of
Debentures  were  converted  to 166,666  common  shares at a price of $12.00 per
share,   leaving   approximately   $8,000,000  principal  amount  of  Debentures
outstanding on December 31, 1997.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

         The Company's  operations to date have been  primarily  funded  through
bank loans, sales of equity and debentures, and vendors deferred purchase notes.

         During  1996,  the Company  began a private  placement  transaction  to
non-United  States  persons  pursuant to  Regulation  S of the  Securities  Act.
164,283 units (the "Units")  representing  328,566 common shares and warrants to
acquire 164,283 common shares at $6.25 per share (the  "Warrants") were sold for
$2,135,685  between  September 1996 and March 1997. The Warrants are exercisable
at anytime prior to the second anniversary of their issuance. Etablissement Pour
le Placement Prive, Zurich Switzerland ("EPP"), acted as the Company's placement
agent in connection with the offering.  After brokerage and issuance costs,  the
sales  resulted in a net  infusion  of capital of  approximately  $1,654,000  at
December 31, 1996 and approximately $1,724,000 through March 1997. In connection
with that offering,  the Company issued,  on or about June 26, 1997,  additional
warrants  to  acquire  32,857  common  shares  at $6.25 per  share  (the  "Agent
Warrants")  pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent  Agreement,  dated July
22,  1996,  between the Company and EPP,  as  amended.  The Agent  Warrants  are
exercisable at any time prior to the second  anniversary of their issuance.  The
Company  has  also  agreed  to pay EPP a fee of 5% of  amounts  received  by the
Company from the exercise of the Warrants.

         On April 18, 1997, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries entered into
separate Loan and Security Agreements for an aggregate of up to $10,000,000 with
NationsCredit  at an  annual  interest  rate of  prime  plus  3%.  NationsCredit
advanced $6,717,000 on April 18, 1997 which was used to repay the obligations

                                       18
<PAGE>

owed to Norwest and other fees  incurred in  connection  with the  NationsCredit
loan facility.  In connection with the NationsCredit loan facility,  the Company
issued NationsCredit an option to acquire 40,000 common shares of the Company at
a price of $6.25 per share.  At December 31, 1997,  approximately  $7,047,000 of
credit had been extended under the credit line.

         On or about June 27, 1997,  the Company sold 15,774  common  shares and
warrants to acquire  2,881 common shares at $6.25 per share,  for  approximately
$98,780.  The  warrants  are  exercisable  at  any  time  prior  to  the  second
anniversary  of their  issuance.  The  securities  were sold to EPP in a private
transaction in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

         On September 30, 1997,  the Company  completed the sale of  $10,000,000
principal amount of its Debentures  issued under an Indenture (the  "Indenture")
dated as of  September  30,  1997,  between the  Company and EPP as Trustee.  In
connection  with this sale, the Company  issued,  on September 30, 1997,  15,000
common shares,  valued at $172,500, to EPP, to partially pay the Placement Fees.
The  Indenture  was amended on February 20, 1998.  See "Market for common shares
and Related Shareholder Matters -- Issuance of Shares Without Registration."

         Effective  October 13, 1997,  the Company issued 5,000 common shares to
EPP  and  agreed  to  pay a  corporate  development  fee of  $125,000  to EPP in
connection  with a future  equity  raising  transaction.  The common shares were
issued in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

         As of November 14, 1997,  pursuant to its Mandatory  Conversion  right,
approximately  $2,000,000  principal  amount of  Debentures  were  converted  to
166,666 common shares at a price of $12.00 per share.  On February 20, 1998, the
Company  amended the Debentures as set forth under "Market for common shares and
Related Shareholder Matters -- Issuance of Shares Without Registration."

         In  January  1998,  the  Company  acquired   Flightways  by  purchasing
substantially  all of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of  Flightways.  The
Company  paid  approximately   $2,900,000  in  cash  and  retired  approximately
$1,100,000  in  Flightways  debt by  refinancing  such debt using the  Company's
credit facility.

         In April 1998, the Company  acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
shares  of  Skylock   by  paying   approximately   $750,000  in  cash,  retiring
approximately  $100,000 in Skylock debt and issuing  approximately 60,000 common
shares  of the  Company.  Eighty  percent  of  the  cash  amount  was  paid  and
approximately  80% of the shares were issued at the closing.  The remainder will
be paid in one year, with the cash amount to be paid and the number of shares to
be issued based on Skylock's  customer  order volume  between April 28, 1998 and
April 27, 1999.

         As  of  February   20,   1998,   the  Company   received  and  accepted
subscriptions  for the sale of 26,333  units  (the "1998  Units"),  representing
210,664 common shares and warrants to acquire 52,666 common shares at $13.00 per
share (the "1998 Warrants") for  approximately  $2,054,000.  The 1998 Units were
sold to accredited  non-United  States persons in reliance on Regulation S under
the  Securities  Act.  The 1998  Warrants are  exercisable  at any time prior to
February 20, 2000.

         EPP acted as  placement  agent in  connection  with the offering of the
1998 Units and received a commission  of 9% of the sale price of the Units sold,
or approximately $185,000.

                                       19
<PAGE>

EPP also received a corporate  development fee of approximately  $61,620,  which
was based on the number of Units sold.

         On April 2, 1997,  the Board of Directors  authorized  and issued share
option  contracts  to  purchase  100,000  common  shares  at $6.25  per share to
officers  and certain key  employees of the  Company.  On August 7, 1997,  share
option  contracts to purchase an additional  270,000 common shares at $10.00 per
share were issued to certain  officers of the Company.  On August 28, 1997,  the
Board of  Directors  authorized  the  issuance of options to certain  directors,
executive  officers and employees to purchase  89,500 common shares at $8.25 per
share  pursuant to the Company's  1997 Omnibus Stock Option Plan. On January 16,
1998,  as a part of the  Flightways  acquisition  and in  order  to  retain  key
management  personnel  and  employees,  the Company  issued  options to purchase
50,000 common  shares,  10,000 of which were issued under the 1997 Omnibus Stock
Option Plan,  at $8.35 per share to key  employees.  On February  13, 1998,  the
Board of Directors adopted the 1998  Nonqualified  Share Option Plan, (the "1998
Option Plan")  authorizing  the issuance of options to purchase  167,600  common
shares  and  issued  options  to  purchase  119,600  common  shares  to  certain
directors,  executive  officers  and  employees  of the Company and  Flightways.
Additional options have been reserved for attracting and rewarding  nonexecutive
employees and employees of acquisition  targets.  On March 16, 1998, the Company
issued  options to purchase 5,000 common shares under the 1998 Option Plan to an
employee.  

         The  commitment  to issue the August 7, 1997  options  and the board of
directors  resolution was adopted at that time,  but the actual  issuance of the
options  did not occur  until  1998.  The final  option  agreements,  as issued,
included  provisions that the options vest as to 50% of the total options on the
last  business  day prior to the  first  anniversary  of the  grant  date if the
participant is an employee,  consultant or director,  and the remaining 50% vest
on the last  business day prior to the second  anniversary  of the grant date if
the  participant  is still an employee,  consultant or director.  This provision
will impact  footnote 7 of the Company's  financial  statements in that net loss
pro forma is decreased from  $1,136,000 to $754,000;  primary loss per share pro
forma is  decreased  from $.55 to $.33 and fully  diluted  losses,  pro forma is
decreased  from $.49 to $.32. For a description of the terms of the option plans
and option contracts, see "Executive Compensation -- Share Option Plans" below.

          The Company will seek to acquire other  companies in similar or allied
businesses.  Any such  acquisition  will only be undertaken  following a careful
analysis  of  the  potential  acquisition,  any  potential  synergism  with  the
Company's  existing  business  and the capital  needs of the  acquired  products
compared  to the  capital  needs  and  resources  of the  Company.  There  is no
assurance that any acquisitions will be successfully completed.

          The Company will continue to actively seek equity  capital  infusions.
There is no assurance  the Company  will be  successful  in securing  additional
capital.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

         Statements  regarding  the  Company's  expectations  as to its  capital
resources and certain other information presented in this Form 10-KSB constitute
forward  looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   Although  the  Company  believes  that  its
expectations  are  based on  reasonable  assumptions  within  the  bounds of its
knowledge of its business and operations,  there can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ materially from its expectations. In addition to matters
affecting the economy and the Company's industry  generally,  factors that could
cause actual results to differ from  expectations  include,  but are not limited
to, the following: (i) the Company's ability to obtain future debt financing may
be  adversely  affected by its  uncertainty  of future  profitability;  (ii) the
Company's  ability to acquire other  businesses in similar or allied  businesses
may be adversely affected if the Company is not able to raise additional capital
and obtain any necessary debt  financing;  (iii) the Company's  ability to raise
additional  capital may be adversely  affected by its lack of trading volume and
the  Company's   uncertainty  of  future   profitability;   (iv)  regulation  by
governmental authorities; (v) growth or lack of growth of the commercial airline
industry; (vi) the price and availability of aircraft parts and other materials;

Fields Aircraft Spares, Inc.
Fillmore, California

                          Independent Auditors' Report

         We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Fields
Aircraft Spares,  Inc.,  formerly known as Fields Industrial Group,  Inc., as of
December  31,  1997  and  1996  and  the  related  consolidated   statements  of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Fields  Aircraft
Spares, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash  flows for the years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 ----------------------------------------------


1.       Summary of significant accounting policies
         ------------------------------------------

         a.       Principles of consolidation and company background
                  --------------------------------------------------

                  The  consolidated  Group  financial   statements  include  the
accounts of Fields Aircraft Spares,  Inc. (FASI),  a Utah  corporation,  and its
wholly-owned   subsidiaries  Fields  Aircraft  Spares  Incorporated   (FASC),  a
California  corporation  and  Fields  Aero  Management,   Inc.  All  significant
intercompany accounts and activity have been eliminated.

                  The Group distributes new aircraft parts and equipment for use
on international and domestic commercial and military aircraft and purchases and
sells parts on a brokerage basis.

         b.       Concentration of credit risk
                  ----------------------------

                  Substantially  all of the Group's trade  accounts  receivables
are due from companies in the aviation  industry  located  throughout the United
States and  internationally.  The Group performs periodic credit  evaluations of
its  customers'  financial  condition  and does not require  collateral.  Credit
losses  relating to customers in the airline  industry  have  consistently  been
within management's expectations.

         c.       Concentration of sales
                  ----------------------

                  The Group had sales to foreign companies that amounted to 12%,
17% and 32% of total sales for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

                  For the year ended December 31, 1997, two customers  accounted
for sales of $1,706,000  and  $1,395,000.  For the year ended December 31, 1996,
two customers  accounted for sales of $657,000 and $351,000.  For the year ended
December 31, 1995, two customers accounted for sales of $801,000 and $790,000.

          d.       Cash and cash equivalents
                   -------------------------

                  For  purposes  of the  statement  of  cash  flows,  the  Group
considers  all highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a maturity  of three
months or less to be a cash equivalent.

                  The Group  currently  maintains cash in bank deposit  accounts
which exceeds  federally  insured  limits.  The Company has not  experienced any
losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant  risks
on  cash  in  bank  deposit  accounts.   Uninsured  balances  are  approximately
$4,575,000 as of December 31, 1997.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 ----------------------------------------------


1.       Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
         ------------------------------------------------------

         e.       Inventory
                  ---------

                  Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value using
the first-in,  first-out method.  Where a group of parts were purchased together
as a lot,  the  cost  of the  lot  was  allocated  to the  individual  parts  by
management  pro  rata  to the  list  selling  price  at the  time  of  purchase.
Consistent with industry  practice,  inventory is carried as a current asset but
all inventory is not expected to be sold within one year.

         f.       Land, building and equipment
                  ----------------------------

                  Land,   building   and   equipment   are   recorded  at  cost.
Depreciation  is computed  using the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated
useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 25 years.

                  The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization
of assets sold or  otherwise  retired are  eliminated  from the accounts and any
gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. The cost of maintenance
and repairs is charged to income as incurred,  whereas significant  renewals and
betterments are capitalized.  Depreciation  expense for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $99,000, $120,000 and $89,000, respectively.

         g.       Debt issuance costs
                  -------------------

                  Gross debt issuance costs of $1,459,000  less  amortization of
$192,000 relate to the issuance of new financing.  Amortization of debt issuance
costs for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $422,000,
$211,000  and  $177,000,   respectively.  The  costs  are  amortized  using  the
straight-line method over the life of the respective loans.

           h.     Revenue recognition
                  -------------------

                   The Group  recognizes  revenue  from all types of sales under
the accrual method of accounting  when title  transfers.  Title transfers at the
Group's facility.

           i.     Earnings per share
                  ------------------

                  In March  1995,  FASI's  shareholders  authorized  the reverse
split of its  common  stock on the basis of fifty old  shares for one new share.
This reverse split was effective as of November 1995.  All references  herein to
the number of shares are after the reverse split.

1.       Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
         ------------------------------------------------------

         i.       Earnings per share, (continued)
                  -------------------------------

                  Fully-diluted earnings per share was computed using 2,325,078,
1,840,543 and 1,312,469  shares for the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and
1995, respectively.

         j.       Income taxes
                  ------------

                  The Group  files  consolidated  income tax  returns.  Deferred
income taxes relate to temporary  differences  between  financial  statement and
income tax reporting of certain accrued expenses, state income taxes, bad debts,
inventory, and depreciation.

                  The Group adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income Taxes".  SFAS 109 requires the  recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax  consequences of
temporary  differences between tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets
and  liabilities.  The  income  tax effect of the  temporary  differences  as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 consisted of the following:

1.       Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
         ------------------------------------------------------

         k.      Employee benefit plan
                 ---------------------

                  FASC has a 401(k) Plan under  Section  401(k) of the  Internal
Revenue Code.  The Plan allows all employees who are not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement to defer up to 25% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis
through  contributions  to the  Plan.  Contributions  to the  Plan by  FASC  are
discretionary  and are  determined by the Board of Directors.  No  contributions
were made to the Plan during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

         l.       Use of estimates
                  ----------------

                  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing
its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

2.       Shareholders' equity
         --------------------

                  FASI has  50,000  shares  authorized  of its  $.001  par value
preferred  stock.  At  December  31,  1997 and  1996,  there  were no  shares of
preferred stock issued or outstanding.

                  FASI has the  following  common  stock as of December 31, 1997
and 1996:

                                                      1997            1996
                                                      ----            ----

                  Authorized                       5,000,000       2,000,000
                  Issued and outstanding           2,079,571       1,302,137
                  Par value                             $.05            $.05

                  In  February  1995,  the Group owed  $7,658,000  to  McDonnell
Douglas  Corporation  (MDC). MDC canceled the debt in exchange for $850,000 plus
586,862 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of FASC. This constituted
full and complete  satisfaction of the MDC debt. The agreement  provided for the
mandatory  exchange of the Series A preferred stock of FASC for 25% of the total
outstanding  common stock of FASI within 10 days  following  the date the common
stock is  approved  for  quotation  on, and is quoted for trading on, the Nasdaq
Stock Market.

2.       Shareholders' equity
         --------------------

                  FASI's  common shares began  quotation on the Nasdaq  SmallCap
Market  on  March  26,  1997.  On April 4,  1997  the MDC  Series A shares  were
exchanged by MDC for 564,194 common shares of FASI.

                  In 1996,  FASI sold 317,785 shares of common stock and 158,893
warrants.  Each warrant  allows the holder to purchase one share of common stock
for $6.25.  The net proceeds were  $1,654,000  after deducting costs of $481,000
for underwriting and issuance.

                  In April 1997, the Group's  wholly-owned  subsidiaries entered
into separate Loan and Security Agreements for an aggregate of up to $10,000,000
with NationsCredit  Commercial Funding  ("NationsCredit") at an interest rate of
prime plus 3%. In connection with the NationsCredit  loan facility,  FASI issued
NationsCredit  an option to acquire  40,000  common shares of FASI at a price of
$6.25 per share.

                  In addition,  during 1997, FASI issued 31,574 shares of common
stock and 41,128 warrants.  Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share
of  common  stock for  $6.25.  FASI  issued  another  15,000 of common  stock in
association with the issue of $10,000,000 at 8.50% subordinated debentures.

                  In September 1997,  FASI closed the sale of these  $10,000,000
Subordinated  Redeemable  Debentures  due 2000 issued  under an  Indenture  with
Etablissement  Pour le Placement  Prive as Trustee.  The Securities were sold in
reliance  on  Regulation  S of the  Securities  Act of  1933 to  entities  which
represented to FASI to be accredited non-U.S. persons.

                  The  Debenture  holders  have a  one-time  right  at any  time
between December 29, 1997 and September 27, 2000, subject to prior redemption or
repurchase,  to  convert  up to 30% of the  principal  amount  of such  holder's
Debentures into Common Shares at a conversion  price equal to 85% of the average
closing price of the Common Shares  during the  20-trading  day period ending on
the date of notice of conversion, but in no event less than $12.00 per share. In
the event that during any 20-day trading  period,  the average  closing price of
the Common  Shares  equals or exceeds  $12.00 per share,  FASI may  require  the
conversion of up to 20% of the principal amount of outstanding Debentures at the
Conversion  Price.  Pursuant  to this,  in  November  1997,  FASI  required  the
conversion  of $2,000,000 of Debentures in exchange for 166,666 of common shares
at $12.00 per share.

                  The  Debentures  are  redeemable,  in whole or in part, at the
option  of the  Group,  at any time on or after  March  31,  1999 at 100% of the
principal amount plus accrued interest.

 7.       Stock option plans
          ------------------

         In  November  1995,  FASI  adopted  a  Management   Stock  Option  Plan
("Management  Plan") and Employee Stock Option Plan ("Employee Plan").  Pursuant
to the Management Plan, FASI has issued options to five individuals  involved in
the  management  of FASI to  acquire  up to  69,025  common  shares of FASI at a
purchase  price of $3.00  per  share  subject  to  vesting  requirements,  which
includes FASI  obtaining  sales during a 12-month  period of  $7,500,000  and an
average  closing  price for FASI's  Common  Shares for a  three-month  period of
$6.00,  $9.00 and $12.00,  respectively,  for each  one-third  of the options to
vest. The options must vest by November 1998 and must be exercised  within three
years of vesting.  Pursuant to the  Employee  Plan,  FASI has issued  options to
acquire 13,500 common shares of FASI to 20 employees of FASI at a purchase price
of $3.00 per share subject to vesting requirements, which include FASI obtaining
sales during a 12-month  period of  $7,500,000  and at least one year  continued
employment after the grant of the option. The options must vest by November 1998
and must be exercised within two years of vesting.

         In April 1997, FASI issued options to employees of the Group to acquire
up to 100,000  common  shares of FASI at an  exercise  price of $6.25 per share.
Half of the options will vest in April 1998 and the remaining  half will vest in
April 1999. The options expire in April 2000.

         On August 7, 1997 FASI  issued  options  to  employees  of the Group to
acquire up to 270,000  common shares of FASI at an exercise  price of $10.00 per
share. The options will vest if the Group meets the following two conditions;

         -------------------------------

the Group must raise at least  $7,500,000 in additional  debt or equity  capital
and the Group must have sales of at least  $14,000,000  in any 12-month  period.
The options  must vest by June 30,  1999 and will  expire  three years after the
vesting date.

         On August 28,  1997,  FASI issued  options to employees of the Group to
acquire up to 89,500  common  shares of FASI at an  exercise  price of $8.25 per
share.  Half of the options will vest in August 1998 and the remaining half will
vest in August 1999. The options expire in August 2002.

         The Group accounts for stock options under the provision of APB Opinion
25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for its stock option grants.  Had compensation  cost for the
Group's stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates  consistent  with  the  method  of  FASB  Statement  123  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation",  the Group's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

         The fair value of each option grant was  estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes  option-pricing model with the following assumptions for
the April  1997,  August 7,  1997 and  August  28,  1997  grants,  respectively:
risk-free interest rates of 6.4%, 5.7% and 6.0%; expected lives of two years for
all three grants; and volatility of 78% for all three grants.

         -------------------------------

         The first  condition for vesting of the August 7, 1997 option grant was
met in  September  1997.  The  Group  anticipates  meeting  the  second  vesting
conditions  of  sales of  $14,000,000  in any  12-month  period  in March  1998.
Accordingly,  the  effect of these  options on the above pro forma  amounts  was
determined under the assumption that the options will vest in March 1998.

         The fair value of the November  1995 option grant was  determined to be
immaterial.  Accordingly,  the effect of these options on income is not included
in the above pro forma amounts.


8.       Contingency
         -----------

         In the event of the death of a Director  or  Officer of the Group,  the
Group is  obligated  to pay up to 100% of the  Director's  or  Officer's  annual
compensation to their  beneficiary  within the twelve months subsequent to their
death.


9.       Casualty gain
         -------------

         In April 1996, the Group reached a final  settlement with its insurance
company. Management elected to record a casualty gain as a result of the January
1994 earthquake.  A gain of $949,000 was recorded in the financial statements in
1996 as a result of this transaction.


 10.      Subsequent events
          -----------------

         In January  1998,  the Group  completed the  acquisition  of Flightways
Manufacturing,  Inc. Flightways Manufacturing, Inc. is a manufacturer of plastic
replacement components for commercial aircraft seats and interiors.

         Each share of Flightways  Manufacturing,  Inc.  tendered into the offer
was exchanged for cash. The total cost of the acquisition  excluding liabilities
assumed was approximately $2,866,000.

         The  acquisition  will be  accounted  for as a  purchase  in 1998.  The
purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities  assumed
based on their  estimated  fair values.  Results of  operations  for  Flightways
Manufacturing,  Inc.  will be  included  with  those of the  Group  for  periods
subsequent to the date of acquisition.

                  The excess of the  purchase  price  over net assets  acquired,
which is  expected to exceed  $2,500,000,  will be  amortized  over a period not

consolidated  results of operations as if the  acquisition had been completed at

         On February 20,  1998,  the Group  received  and accepted  subscription
agreements  for the sale of 210,664  shares of common stock and 52,666  warrants
for  approximately  $2,054,000.  Each warrant  allows the holder to purchase one
share of common  stock for  $13.00.  The  Securities  were sold in  reliance  on
Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 to entities which represented to FASI
to be accredited non-U.S. persons.

         On February 20, 1998, the Group entered into a  Supplemental  Indenture
to the Indenture with Etablissement Pour le Placement Prive as trustee, relating
to the 8.5% Subordinated  Redeemable Debenture due 2000 described in Note 2. The
Supplemental  Indenture  provides that the Debenture  holders have the following
additional rights: at any time between February 20, 1998 and June 30, 1998, each
holder  may  convert  20% of the  original  principal  amount  of such  holder's
Debentures  into Common Shares at a conversion  price of $9.75 per share; at any
time between  February 20, 1998 and September 30, 1998,  each holder may convert
an additional 20% of the original  principal amount of such holder's  Debentures
into  Common  Shares at a  conversion  price of $11.00  per  share;  at any time
between  February 20, 1998 and  December  31,  1998,  each holder may convert an

Aggregated Option Exercises and Year-End Option Values in 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------

         The following table summarizes for the Named Executive  Officers of the
Company the number of stock options,  if any, exercised during Fiscal Year 1997,
the aggregate dollar value realized upon exercise, the total number of

<PAGE>

unexercised  options held at December 31, 1997 and the aggregate dollar value of
in-the-money  unexercised  options,  if any,  held at December 31,  1995.  Value
realized  upon exercise is the  difference  between the fair market value of the
underlying stock on the exercise date and the exercise price of the option.  The
value  of  unexercised,  in-the-money  options  at  December  31,  1997  is  the
difference  between  its  exercise  price  and  the  fair  market  value  of the
underlying stock on December 31, 1997. The underlying options have not been, and
may never be,  exercised;  and actual gains,  if any, on exercise will depend on
the value of the common  shares on the actual date of exercise.  There can be no
assurance that these values will be realized. See "-Stock Option Plan" below for
a description of the terms of the options. <TABLE> <CAPTION>

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-In-Control
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arrangements.
- -------------

         In late  January of 1998 and  effective  January 1, 1998,  the  Company
entered into three-year Employment Agreements  ("Agreements") with each of Peter
Frohlich,  Lawrence  J.  Troyna  and  Alan M.  Fields  (the  "Current  Executive
Officers"),  which are automatically  renewable for additional  one-year periods
unless  terminated  by either the  Current  Executive  Officer or the Company as
provided in the Agreements. The terms of employment provide for a base salary to
each of the  Current  Executive  Officers  of  $190,000  per year other than Mr.
Fields who receives  $240,000 per year. Base salaries  commence February 1, 1998
and escalate at a rate based on the Consumer  Price Index (All Urban  Consumers)
but in no event  less than 5% per  year.  In  addition,  the  Current  Executive
Officers  are  entitled  to  bonuses  each year of an amount  equal to 3% of the
Company's  net  income  before  taxes in any fiscal  year not to exceed  $40,000
(adjusted by the Consumer Price Index but not less than 5%).  Additional bonuses
may be paid at the  discretion  of the Company and a bonus of one week's  salary
shall be paid at the end of the year. A monthly automobile  allowance of $700 is
paid to Current Executive Officers other than Mr. Fields who is provided a Lexus
LS400 or comparable auto with all expenses paid. The Current Executive  Officers
receive  all  benefits  available  to  other  employees  of  the  Company.   Any
termination of the Agreements other than for cause requires the Company to pay

                                       27
<PAGE>

the employee the greater of two years annual salary at the employee's  then rate
of compensation or the annual salary at the employee's then current rate for the
remaining term of the Agreement.  Upon death or disability of the employee,  the
Company is required to pay one year of annual  salary to the  employee's  estate
(or in the case of  disability,  less the amount  actually  paid  pursuant  to a
disability policy).

Share Option Plans
- ------------------

         In November  1995, the Company  adopted a Management  Stock Option Plan
("Management  Plan")  and an  Employee  Stock  Option  Plan  ("Employee  Plan").
Pursuant to the Management  Plan, the Company issued options to five individuals
involved in the  management of the Company to acquire up to 69,025 common shares
of the  Company  at a  purchase  price of $3.00 per  share  subject  to  vesting
requirements,  which  included  the Company  obtaining  sales  during a 12-month
period of  $7,500,000  and an average  closing  price for the  Company's  common
shares for a three-month  period of $6.00, $9.00 and $12.00,  respectively,  for
each  one-third of the options to vest.  The options must vest by November  1998
and must be  exercised  within  three years of vesting.  The first  one-third of
these options  vested as of June 1, 1997 and the second  one-third  vested as of
November 1, 1997.  Pursuant to the Employee  Plan, the Company issued options to
acquire  13,500 common shares of the Company to 20 employees of the Company at a
purchase  price of $3.00  per  share  subject  to  vesting  requirements,  which
included the Company  obtaining sales during a 12-month period of $7,500,000 and
at least one year  continued  employment  after the grant of the  option.  These
options vested as of June 1, 1997 and must be exercised by June 1, 1999. Neither
the Management  Plan nor the Employee Plan provide for any further options to be
issued.

         On April 2, 1997,  the Board of Directors  authorized and granted share
options to key employees  (including the Named Executive Officers) and Directors
providing  for options to acquire an  aggregate  of 100,000  common  shares at a
price of $6.25 per share  subject to vesting  requirements,  which  include  the
Company  obtaining  sales of  $10,000,000  in any 12-month  period.  Half of the
options have vested and the remainder  vest April 1, 1999. The options expire on
April 2, 2000.

         On August 7, 1997, the Board of Directors  granted share options to the
Named  Executive  Officers  providing  for  options to acquire an  aggregate  of
270,000  common  shares  at a price of  $10.00  per  share  subject  to  vesting
requirements,  which include the Company  obtaining  sales of $14,000,000 in any
12-month  period  and  raising  $7,500,000  in  additional  capital.  Subject to
satisfaction of these performance  conditions,  half of the options will vest on
August 6, 1998 and the remainder will vest on August 6, 1999. The options expire
three years after vesting.

         In 1997,  the Company  adopted the 1997 Omnibus  Stock Option Plan (the
"Omnibus  Option  Plan") to enable the  Company  to issue up to  100,000  common
shares to key  employees,  directors and  consultants.  On August 28, 1997,  the
Board of Directors  authorized and granted share options pursuant to the Omnibus
Option  Plan to key  employees  (including  the Named  Executive  Officers)  and
Directors  providing for options to acquire an aggregate of 89,500 common shares
at a price of $8.25 per share. Half of the options will vest on August 27, 1998,
and the remainder will vest on August 27, 1999. The options expire on August 28,
2002.

         On January 16, 1998,  the Board  authorized  and granted  share options
pursuant to the Omnibus Option Plan to Mr. Luhnow providing for options to

                                       28
<PAGE>

acquire an aggregate of 10,000 common shares at a price of $8.35 per share. Half
of the options will vest on January 15,  1999,  and the  remainder  will vest on
January 14, 2000.  The Options will expire  January 16, 2003.  In addition,  the
Board  authorized  and issued to Mr.  Luhnow  and key  employees  of  Flightways
additional options to acquire 40,000 common shares at a price of $8.35 per share
subject to vesting requirements, which include Flightways sales of $5,000,000 in
any 12-month period prior to January 16, 2000. Subject to satisfaction of these
performance  conditions,  half of the options vest on January 15,  1999, and the
remainder  vest on January  15,  2000.  The  options  expire  three  years after
vesting.

         On February 13, 1998, the Board adopted the Company's 1998 Nonqualified
Share Option Plan (the "1998 Option  Plan") to enable the Company to issue up to
167,600 common shares to employees,  Directors and consultants.  On February 13,
1998, the Board  authorized and granted options pursuant to the 1998 Option Plan
to employees  (including the Named Executive  Officers) and directors  providing
for  options to  acquire an  aggregate  of 119,600  common  shares at a price of
$10.00 per share subject to vesting requirements,  which include, if the grantee
is an  employee,  Director  or  consultant  of  the  parent  or  FAS,  sales  of
$20,000,000 in any 12-month period prior to February 13, 2000, or if the grantee
is an employee, Director or consultant of Flightways, sales of $5,000,000 in any
12-month period prior to February 13, 2000.  Subject to  satisfaction  of these
performance  conditions,  half of the options vest on February 12, 1999, and the
remainder vest on February 11, 2000. The options expire on February 13, 2003.

         On March 16, 1998, the Board authorized and granted 5,000 options to an
employee pursuant to the 1998 Option Plan. Half of the options vest on March 15,
1999,  and the remainder vest on March 15, 2000,  subject to the  performance of
the Company as set forth in the previous paragraph, and expire March 16, 2003.

                  Section  1.  Principal  Office.  The  principal  office of the
corporation  shall be as designated by the board of directors.  The  corporation
may from time to time change the  location of its  principal  office,  within or

within or without  the State of Utah,  as the  business of the  corporation  may
require from time to time.

                  Section 2.  Registered  Office.  The registered  office of the
corporation required by the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "Act") to
be maintained in the State of Utah may be, but need not be,  identical  with the

may be changed from time to time by the board of directors.

business  day.  If the  election  of  directors  shall  not be  held  on the day
designated  herein  or  any  annual  meeting  of  the  shareholders,  or at  any
adjournment  thereof, the board of directors shall cause the election to be held
at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as is convenient.

unless  otherwise  prescribed by statute,  may be called by the  president,  the

designate any place, either within or without the State of Utah, as the place of
meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of
directors.  If the special meeting is called by the president or the chairman of
the board of directors,  the officer  calling the special  meeting may designate
any place,  either  within or without  the State of Utah,  as the place for that
special meeting.  If a special meeting is called by the president at the request
of shareholders,  the board of directors, or, if the board of directors fails to
act, the president, may designate a place, either within or without the State of
Utah, as the place of meeting for any special meeting. A waiver of notice signed
by all  shareholders  entitled  to vote at a meeting  may  designate  any place,
either within or without the State of Utah, as the place for the holding of such
meeting. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called,
the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the corporation.

                  Section 4.  Notice of Meeting.

                  (a) Required  Notice.  Written notice stating the place,  day,
and time of the  meeting  and,  in case of a special  meeting,  the  purpose  or
purposes for which the meeting is called,  shall, unless otherwise prescribed by
statute, be delivered not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days before
the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of
the President,  or the Secretary,  or the persons  calling the meeting,  to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed,  such notice
shall be deemed to be  delivered  when  deposited  in the  United  States  mail,
addressed to the  shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer
books of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

                  (b)  Adjourned  meetings.  If an annual or special  meeting is
adjourned to a different  date,  time or place,  notice need not be given of the
new date,  time,  or place if the new date,  time,  or place is announced at the
meeting prior to adjournment. If a new record date is or must be fixed under the
Utah Revised Business  Corporation Act, new notice of the adjourned meeting must
be given to all shareholders of record who are entitled to vote at the meeting.

                  (c) Waiver of Notice.  The shareholder may waive notice of the
meeting (or any notice required by the Utah Revised  Business  Corporation  Act,
articles of  incorporation,  or bylaws),  by a writing signed by the shareholder
entitled to the notice,  which is delivered to the corporation (either before or
after the date and time stated in the notice)  for  inclusion  in the minutes or
filing with the corporate records.

                  A shareholder's attendance at a meeting:

                           (1)      waives   objection  to  lack  of  notice  or
                                    defective notice of the meeting,  unless the
                                    shareholder  at the beginning of the meeting
                                    objects   to   holding    the   meeting   or
                                    transacting  business at the meeting because
                                    of lack of notice or defective notice; and

                           (2)      waives   objection  to  consideration  of  a
                                    particular matter at the meeting that is not
                                    within the purpose or purposes  described in
                                    the meeting  notice,  unless the shareholder
                                    objects to considering the matter when it is
                                    presented.

                  (d) Contents of Notice. The notice of each special shareholder
meeting  shall  include a  description  of the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called.  Except as provided in this  Article II,  Section  4(d),  the
corporation's  articles  of  incorporation,  or  otherwise  in the Utah  Revised
Business  Corporation Act, the notice of an annual shareholder  meeting need not
include a  description  of the  purpose  or  purposes  for which the  meeting is
called.

                  If a purpose of any shareholder meeting is to consider either:
(1) a  proposed  amendment  to the  articles  of  incorporation  (including  any
restated articles requiring shareholder approval); (2) a plan of merger or share
exchange;  (3) the  sale,  lease,  exchange  or  other  disposition  of all,  or
substantially all of the  corporation's  property outside the ordinary course of
business;  (4) if all or substantially all of the corporation's  assets consists
of its interest in an entity it  controls,  the sale,  lease,  exchange or other
disposition  of all or  substantially  all of the property owned by that entity,

or (6) the removal of a director, the notice must so state and be accompanied by
respectively  a copy or summary of the: (1) articles of  amendment;  (2) plan of
merger  or  share   exchange;   and  (3)  transaction  for  disposition  of  the
corporation's  property.  If the proposed  corporate action creates  dissenters'
rights,  the notice must state that  shareholders  are,  or may be,  entitled to
assert  dissenters'  rights, and must be accompanied by a copy of Part 13 of the
Utah Revised Business Corporation Act.

                  Section 5.  Fixing of Record Date.

                  (a) By Board of  Directors.  For the  purpose  of  determining
shareholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or
any  adjournment  thereof,  or  shareholders  entitled to receive payment of any
dividend,  or in order to make a  determination  of  shareholders  for any other
proper  purpose,  the board of directors of the corporation may fix in advance a
date as the record  date.  Such record date shall not be more than 70 days prior
to the day on which the meeting is held or on which the action is taken.

                  (b) By  Operation  of Bylaw.  If no record date is so fixed by
the board for the  determination  of  shareholders  entitled to notice of, or to
vote at a meeting of shareholders,  or shareholders  entitled to receive a share
dividend or distribution, the record date for determination of such shareholders
shall be at the close of business on:

                           (1)      With   respect  to  an  annual   shareholder
                                    meeting or any special  shareholder  meeting
                                    called   by  the   board   or   any   person
                                    specifically  authorized  by  the  board  or
                                    these  bylaws  to  call a  meeting,  the day
                                    before  the  first  notice is  delivered  to
                                    shareholders;

<PAGE>

                           (2)      With  respect  to  a  special  shareholder's
                                    meeting  demanded by the  shareholders,  the
                                    president shall fix in advance a date as the
                                    record date,  which record date shall not be
                                    more than 70 days prior to the date on which
                                    the meeting is held;

                           (3)      With  respect  to  the  payment  of a  share
                                    dividend,  the date the board authorizes the
                                    share dividend;

                           (4)      With  respect  to  actions  taken in writing
                                    without  a  meeting,   the  date  the  first
                                    shareholder signs a consent;

                           (5)      And  with  respect  to  a  distribution   to
                                    shareholders,  (other  than one  involving a
                                    repurchase or reacquisition of shares),  the
                                    date the board authorizes the distribution.

                  (c) Record Date Following Adjournment. When a determination of
shareholders  entitled to vote at any meeting of  shareholders  has been made as
provided in this  section,  such  determination  shall apply to any  adjournment
thereof  unless the board of directors  fixes a new record date which it must do
if the  meeting is  adjourned  to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed
for the original meeting.

                  Section  6.  Shareholder  Lists.  After a  record  date  for a
shareholders'  meeting has been fixed, the officer or agent having charge of the
transfer books for shares of the  corporation  shall make a complete list of the
shareholders  entitled  to  be  given  notice  of  that  meeting,   arranged  in
alphabetical  order,  with the address of and the number of shares held by each.
The list must be arranged by voting  group and within each voting group by class
or series of shares.  The  shareholder  list must be available for inspection by
any  shareholder,  beginning  on the  earlier of ten days before the meeting for
which the list was prepared or two business  days after notice of the meeting is
given and continuing through the meeting, and any meeting adjournments. The list
shall  be  available  at  the  corporation's  principal  office  or  at a  place
identified in the meeting  notice in the city where the meeting is to be held. A
shareholder,  his agent,  or attorney  is entitled on written  demand to inspect
and,  subject to the  requirements of Section 14 of this Article II, to copy the
list at his or her expense during  regular  business hours and during the period
it is available for inspection.  The corporation  shall maintain the shareholder
list in written form or in another form capable of conversion  into written form
within a reasonable time.

                  Section 7.  Shareholder Quorum and Voting Requirements.

                  (a)  Action by  Separate  Voting  Group.  If the  articles  of
incorporation  or the Act  provides  for  voting by a single  voting  group on a
matter, action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group.

                                      - 4 -
<PAGE>

                  (b) Quorum Requirements for Voting Groups.  Shares entitled to
vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if
a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the articles
of incorporation or the Act provide  otherwise,  40% of the votes entitled to be
cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group
for action on that matter.

                  (c) Action by Two or More Voting  Groups.  If the  articles of
incorporation  or the Act provide  for voting by two or more voting  groups on a
matter,  action on that  matter is taken  only when  voted upon by each of those
voting groups counted  separately.  Action may be taken by one voting group on a
matter even though no action is taken by another  voting group  entitled to vote
on the matter.

                  (d)  Share  Presence.  Once a  share  is  represented  for any
purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder
of the meeting and for any  adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date
is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.

                  (e)  Voting  Requirements.  If a quorum  exists,  action  on a
matter  (other than the election of  directors) by a voting group is approved if
the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast
opposing the action,  unless the articles of  incorporation or the Act require a
greater number of affirmative votes.

                  Section  8.  Proxies.  At  all  meetings  of  shareholders,  a
shareholder may vote in person or by proxy. A shareholder may appoint a proxy to
vote or otherwise act for that shareholder by signing an appointment form either
personally  or by its duly  authorized  attorney-in-fact.  The  shareholder  may
appoint a proxy by  transmitting  or authorizing  the  transmission of telegram,
teletype,  or other  electronic  transmission,  provided  that  the  transmitted
appointment shall set forth or be transmitted with evidence from which it can be
determined  that the shareholder  transmitted or authorized the  transmission of

need not be residents of the State of Utah or shareholders  of the  corporation.
The board of  directors  may elect from its own number a chairman  of the board,
who shall preside at all meetings of the board of  directors,  and shall perform
such  other  duties  as may be  prescribed  from  time to time by the  board  of
directors.

                  Section 3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of
directors shall be held without other notice than this by-law immediately after,
and at the same  place as,  the annual  meeting  of  shareholders.  The board of
directors  may provide,  by  resolution,  the time and place,  either  within or
without  the State of Utah,  for the  holding  of  additional  regular  meetings

                  Section 5.  Notice.

                  (a)  General  Provisions.  Regular  meetings  of the  board of
directors may be held without notice of the date, place, time and purpose of the
meeting.  Notice of any special  meeting,  however,  shall be given at least two
days previously thereto by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each
director at his business  address,  or by telegram or telephonic  facsimile.  If
mailed,  such notice shall be deemed to be effective at the earlier of: (1) when
received;  (2) five days after deposited in the United States mail, addressed to
the director's  business office,  with postage thereon prepaid;  or (3) the date
shown on the return  receipt if sent by  registered  or certified  mail,  return
receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the director. If
notice is given by telegram such notice shall be deemed to be effective when the
telegram is delivered to the telegraph company. If notice is given by telephonic
facsimile,  such notice shall be deemed to be effective when the transmission is
confirmed  by or on  behalf  of the  director.  If  notice  is given by  private
courier,  such notice shall be deemed to be effective  when  acknowledgement  of
delivery is signed by or on behalf of the director.

                  (b) Waiver.  Any  director  may waive  notice of any  meeting.
Except as provided in this section 5(b),  the waiver must be in writing,  signed
by the  director  entitled to the notice and filed with the minutes or corporate
records.  The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such  meeting,  except  where a  director  attends  a meeting  for the
express  purpose of  objecting  to the  transaction  of any  business and at the
beginning of the meeting,  or promptly upon the director's  arrival,  objects to
holding the meeting or  transacting  business at the meeting  because of lack of
notice or defective notice, and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action
taken at the meeting.

                  (c) Content. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any  regular or special  meeting of the board of  directors  need be
specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

                  Section 6. Quorum. A majority of the number of directors fixed
pursuant  to Section 2 of this  Article  III shall  constitute  a quorum for the
transaction  of business at any meeting of the board of  directors,  but if less
than such majority is present at a meeting,  a majority of the directors present
may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

                  (a) Voting Requirements. The affirmative vote of a majority of
the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act
of the board of directors,  unless the articles of incorporation,  these bylaws,
or the Act require a greater percentage.

                  (b) Appropriate Means of Communication. Unless the articles of
incorporation  provide  otherwise,  any or all  directors may  participate  in a
regular or special  meeting by, or conduct  the meeting  through the use of, any
means of communication by which all directors  participating may  simultaneously
hear each other during the  meeting.  A director  participating  in a meeting by
this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

                           (c) Effect of Presence at Meeting.  A director who is
         present at a meeting of the board of  directors  or a committee  of the
         board of  directors  when  corporate  action is taken is deemed to have
         assented to the action taken unless: (1) he objects at the beginning of
         the meeting (or promptly upon his arrival) to holding it or transacting
         business  at the  meeting;  or (2) his dissent or  abstention  from the
         action  taken is  entered  in the  minutes  of the  meeting;  or (3) he
         delivers  written  notice of his dissent or abstention to the presiding
         officer of the meeting  before its  adjournment  or to the  corporation
         immediately after adjournment of the meeting.  This right of dissent or
         abstention  is not  available  to a director  who votes in favor of the
         action taken.

                  Section  8.  Director  Action  Without a  Meeting.  Unless the
articles of  incorporation,  these  bylaws,  or the Act provide  otherwise,  any
action  required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting
may be taken  without  a  meeting  if all  directors  consent  to the  action in
writing.  Action taken by consents is effective  when the last director  signs a
writing  describing the action taken,  unless,  prior to that time, any director
has revoked a consent by a writing  signed by the  director  and received by the
secretary  or other  person  authorized  by the board of  directors to receive a
revocation, or unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A signed
consent  has the effect of a meeting  vote and may be  described  as such in any
document.

                  Section 9. Removal of Directors.  The  shareholders may remove
one or more  directors  at a meeting  called for that purpose if notice has been
given that a purpose of the meeting is such removal.  The removal may be with or
without  cause unless the articles  provide that  directors  may only be removed
with cause. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the
shareholders  of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove him. If
cumulative voting is authorized,  a director may not be removed if the number of
votes  sufficient  to elect him under  cumulative  voting is voted  against  his
removal. If cumulative voting is not authorized,  a director may be removed only
if the number of votes cast to remove him  exceeds  the number of votes cast not
to remove him.

                  Section 10.  Vacancies.

                  (a) Who May Fill Vacancy. Unless the articles of incorporation
provide  otherwise,  if a vacancy occurs on the board of directors,  including a
vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors:

                           (1)      the shareholders may fill the vacancy;

                           (2)      the board of directors may fill the vacancy;
                                    or

                           (3)      if  the   directors   remaining   in  office
                                    constitute fewer than a quorum of the board,
                                    they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative
                                    vote  of a  majority  of all  the  directors
                                    remaining in office.

                  (b)  Directors  Elected by a Voting  Group.  Unless  otherwise
provided in the articles of  incorporation,  if the vacant  office was held by a
director elected by a voting group of shareholders:

                           (1)      if one or more  directors are elected by the
                                    same voting group, only they are entitled to
                                    vote to fill the  vacancy if it is filled by
                                    the directors; and

                           (2)      only the  holders  of shares of that  voting
                                    group  are  entitled  to vote  to  fill  the
                                    vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders.

                  (c) Filling Future  Vacancies.  A vacancy that will occur at a
specific  later date,  by reason of a  resignation  effective at a later date or
otherwise, may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not
take office until the vacancy occurs.

                  (d) Term of New  Director.  The term of a director  elected to
fill a vacancy expires at the next shareholders'  meeting at which directors are
elected.  However,  if his term  expires,  he shall  continue to serve until his
successor is elected and qualifies or until there is a decrease in the number of
directors.

                  Section  11.  Compensation.  By  resolution  of the  board  of
directors, each director may be paid his expenses, if any, of attendance at each
meeting of the board of  directors,  and may be paid a stated salary as director
or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or both.
No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the  corporation in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

                  Section 12.  Director Committees.

                  (a) Creation of Committees.  The board of directors may create
one or more committees and appoint members of the board of directors to serve on
them. Each committee must have two or more members, who serve at the pleasure of
the board of directors.

                  (b)  Selection  of Members.  The  creation of a committee  and
appointment  of members to it must be  approved by the greater of (1) a majority
of all the  directors  in office  when the  action is taken or (2) the number of
directors  required  by the  articles  of  incorporation  or bylaws to take such
action.

                  (c) Required Procedures. Provisions of this Article III, which
govern meetings,  action without meetings,  notice and waiver of notice,  quorum
and voting requirements of the board of directors, apply to committees and their
members.

                  (d)  Authority.  Each  Committee may exercise those aspects of
the  authority  of the board of directors  which the board of directors  confers
upon such committee in the resolution creating the committee.

                              ARTICLE IV. OFFICERS

                  Section 1. Number.  The officers of the corporation shall be a
president  and a  secretary,  each of whom  shall  be  elected  by the  board of
directors.  Such other officers and assistant officers,  including a chairman of
the board, treasurer and any vice presidents,  as may be deemed necessary may be
elected or appointed by the board of directors.  If  specifically  authorized by
the board of directors, an officer may appoint one or more officers or assistant

corporation  shall  be  appointed  by the  board  of  directors  for a  term  as
determined by the board of directors. The designation of a specified term grants
to the officer no contract  rights,  and the board can remove the officer at any
time prior to the termination of such term. If no term is specified,  they shall
hold  office  until they  resign,  die,  or until they are removed in the manner
provided hereafter.

                  Section 3. Removal. Any officer or agent may be removed by the
board of directors at any time,  with or without  cause.  Such removal  shall be

Appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights.

                  Section 4. Resignation.  An officer may resign at  any time by
giving written notice of the resignation to the corporation.  The resignation is
effective  when  the  notice  is  received  by the  corporation,  unless a later
effective  date is specified.  If the  resignation is effective at a later date,

                                     - 14 -

the board of directors  may remove the officer at any time before the  effective

the effective date if the board provides that the successor does not take office

Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to

proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative, or investigative by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or
was a  director  or  officer of the  Corporation  serving at the  request of the
Corporation as a director,  officer,  employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership,   joint  venture,  trust  or  other  enterprise  against  expenses,
(including  attorney's  fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably  incurred by him in connection with the action,  suit or
proceeding,  except  in  relation  to  matters  as to which he shall be  finally
adjudged in such action,  suit or proceeding to be liable for willful misconduct
in the performance of his duties.  Indemnification under this Section 1 shall be
considered a contractual right of the indemnified parties.

                  Section   2.   General   Terms   of    Indemnification.    The
indemnification  and advancement of expenses provided by this Article may not be

indemnification  or  advancement  of  expenses  may be  entitled  under any law,
by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to an action in his  official  capacity  and as to an action in  another

amount  advanced  if  it  is  ultimately  determined  by a  court  of  competent
jurisdiction  that he is not entitled to be  indemnified  by the  Corporation as
authorized by this Article.

                                     - 17 -

                  Section 4. Scope of  Indemnification.  The indemnification and
advancement  of expenses  authorized  by this Article shall apply to all present
and future  directors and officers of the  Corporation  and shall continue as to
such persons who cease to be directors or officers of the  Corporation and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs,  executors,  and  administrators  of all such
persons and shall be in addition to all other indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by law.

                  Section  5.  Insurance.   The  Corporation  may  purchase  and
maintain  insurance  on behalf of any person who is or was a director,  officer,
employee,  or agent of the  Corporation,  or is or was serving at the request of
the  Corporation  as  a  director,   officer,   employee  or  agent  of  another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
liability  asserted  against  him and  incurred  by him in any such  capacity or
arising out of his status in any such capacity,  whether or not the  Corporation

provisions  of this  Article  or the  laws of the  State of Utah as the same may
hereafter be amended or modified.

the application of such provision to any person or  circumstance  shall be found
by a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  to be  invalid  or  unenforceable  the
remainder of this  Article or the  application  of such  provision to persons or
circumstances  other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected thereby.  It is the intent of the Corporation to indemnify
all parties set forth in this Article to the full extent provided by law.

             ARTICLE VII. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

                  Section 1.  Certificates for Shares.

                  (a)   Content.   Certificates   representing   shares  of  the
corporation  shall  at  minimum,  state on  their  face the name of the  issuing
corporation and that it is formed under the laws of Utah, the name of the person
to whom issued;  and the number and class of shares and the  designation  of the
series, if any, the certificate represents; and be in such form as determined by
the board of directors.  Such certificates  shall be signed (either manually or,
if  countersigned by the duly appointed stock transfer agent of the corporation,
by facsimile) by the  president or a  vice-president  and by the secretary or an
assistant  secretary  and may be sealed  with a  corporate  seal or a  facsimile
thereof.  Each  certificate  for  shares  shall  be  consecutively  numbered  or
otherwise identified.

                  (b)  Legend  as to  Class or  Series.  If the  corporation  is
authorized  to issue  different  classes of shares or different  series within a
class, the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations applicable
to each class and the variations in relative rights, preferences and limitations
determined  for each  series (and the  authority  of the board of  directors  to
determine  variations  for any  existing  or  future  class or  series)  must be
summarized on the front or back of each certificate. Alternatively, each

                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>

certificate  may state  conspicuously  on its front or back that the corporation
will furnish the shareholder  this information on request in writing and without
charge.

                  (c) Restrictions on Transfer.  Any restriction on the transfer
or registration of transfer of shares must be noted  conspicuously  on the front
or back of the share certificate.

                  (d)  Shareholder  List.  The name and address of the person to
whom the shares  represented  thereby are issued,  with the number of shares and
date of issue, shall be entered on the transfer books of the corporation.

                  (e) Transferring  Shares. All certificates  surrendered to the
corporation  for transfer  shall be cancelled  and no new  certificate  shall be
issued until the former  certificate for a like number of shares shall have been
surrendered  and  cancelled,  except  that  in case  of a  lost,  destroyed,  or
mutilated  certificate  a new one may be issued  therefor  upon  such  terms and
indemnity to the corporation as the board of directors may prescribe.

                  Section   2.   Registration   of  the   Transfer   of  Shares.
Registration of the transfer of shares of the corporation  shall be made only on
the transfer books of the corporation.  To register a transfer, the record owner
shall  surrender  the  shares  to the  corporation  for  cancellation,  properly
endorsed by the appropriate  person or persons with  reasonable  assurances that
the  endorsements  are  genuine  and  effective.   Unless  the  corporation  has
established a procedure by which a beneficial  owner of shares held by a nominee
is to be recognized by the  corporation  as the owner,  the person in whose name
shares stand on the books of the corporation  shall be deemed by the corporation
to be the owner thereof for all purposes.

                  Section 3.        Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.

                  (a)  Restrictions  Permitted.   The  board  of  directors  (or
shareholders)  may  impose  restrictions  on the  transfer  or  registration  of
transfer of shares (including any security convertible into, or carrying a right
to subscribe for or acquire shares). A restriction does not affect shares issued
before the  restriction was adopted unless the holders of the shares are parties
to the restriction agreement or voted in favor of the restriction.

                  (b) Authorized Purposes for Restrictions. A restriction on the
transfer or registration of transfer of shares may be authorized:

                           (1)      to maintain the corporation's status when it
                                    is dependent  on the  number or  identity of
                                    its shareholders;

                           (2)      to  preserve   entitlements,   benefits,  or
                                    exemptions  under  federal,  state  or local
                                    laws;

                           (3)      to provide continuity in  the ownership  and
                                    management of the corporation; or

                           (4)      for any other reasonable purpose.

                  (c) Types of  Restrictions  Authorized.  A restriction  on the
transfer or registration of transfer of shares may:

                           (1)      obligate the shareholder  first to offer the
                                    corporation  or other  persons  (separately,
                                    consecutively,    or    simultaneously)   an
                                    opportunity   to  acquire   the   restricted
                                    shares;

                           (2)      obligate the  corporation  or other  persons
                                    (separately,        consecutively,        or
                                    simultaneously)  to acquire  the  restricted
                                    shares;

                           (3)      require   the   corporation,   any   of  its
                                    shareholders  or any one or more  persons to
                                    approve  the  transfer  or  registration  of
                                    transfer of the  restricted  shares,  if the
                                    requirement is not manifestly unreasonable;

                           (4)      require   the   shareholder   to   establish
                                    compliance   with  federal  and  state  laws
                                    regarding registration of the offer and sale
                                    of securities; or

                           (5)      prohibit the transfer or the registration of
                                    a  transfer  of  the  restricted  shares  to
                                    designated persons or classes of persons, if
                                    the    prohibition    is   not    manifestly
                                    unreasonable.

                  (d) Disclosure of Restrictions  Required. A restriction on the
transfer or registration of transfer of shares is valid and enforceable  against
the holder or a transferee  of the holder if the  restriction  is  authorized by
this section or the Act and its existence is noted conspicuously on the front or
back of the share  certificate  or is  contained  in the  information  statement
required by Section 2 of this Article VII with regard to shares  issued  without
certificates. Unless so noted, a restriction is not enforceable against a person
without knowledge of the restriction.

                  Section 4.        Corporation's Acquisition of Shares.

                  (a) Acquisition  Authorized.   Subject  to   the  restrictions
contained in Utah Code Ann.  ss.16-10a-640(3),  the  corporation may acquire its
own shares and the shares so acquired constitute authorized but unissued shares.

                  (b) When  Amendment of Articles  Required.  If the articles of
incorporation  prohibit the reissue of acquired shares, the number of authorized
shares is reduced by the number of shared acquired,  effective upon amendment of
the articles of incorporation,  which amendment shall be adopted by the board of
directors  without  shareholder  action.  The  articles  of  amendment  must  be
delivered to the Utah  Department  of  Commerce,  Division of  Corporations  and
Commercial Code and must set forth:

                           (4)      a statement  that the  amendment was adopted

                                    shareholder   action  and  that  shareholder
                                    action was not required.

                             ARTICLE XI. AMENDMENTS

                  Section 1.  Restrictions  on  Amendments.   The  corporation's
board of directors may amend or repeal the corporation's bylaws unless:

                  (a)      the articles of incorporation or the Act reserve this
power exclusively to the shareholders in whole or in part; or

                  (b) the  shareholders  in adopting,  amending,  or repealing a

repeal that bylaw.

                              SHARE OPTION CONTRACT
                                                           Option No. 1 - ______


                  This SHARE OPTION CONTRACT  ("Contract") is entered into as of
April 2, 1997 ("Grant Date") by and between ___________  (hereinafter called the
"Participant") and FIELDS AIRCRAFT SPARES, INC., a Utah corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company").

                  WHEREAS,  Participant  is an employee  and/or  director of the
Company or its subsidiaries; and

                  WHEREAS, the grant of this Contract to the Participant and the
execution of a Contract in the form hereof has been duly authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Company.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  the parties hereto,  in consideration of the
mutual covenants  contained  herein and other good and valuable  considerations,
agree as follows:

                  1. Grant. The Company hereby grants Participant an option (the
"Options")  to  purchase  _____  common  shares,  no par value,  of the  Company
("Option  Shares"),  at a price of Six Dollars and Twenty-Five Cents ($6.25) per
share (the  "Option  Price"),  and agrees to cause  certificates  for any Option
Shares  purchased  hereunder to be delivered to the Participant  upon payment of
the  aggregate  Option  Price in full,  all subject,  however,  to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  2.       Vesting.

                  (a) The Options shall vest and become fully  exercisable as to
         the Option Shares upon all of the following conditions being met:

                           (i)   the  Company  shall  have  sales  of  at  least
                  $10,000,000 in  any 12-month period  subsequent to  the  Grant
                  Date;

                           (ii)  condition (i)  must have  occurred if at all by
                  June 30, 1999; and

                           (iii) the  Options  shall vest as to 50% of the total
                  number of Option Shares, or _____ shares, on the last business
                  day prior to the first  anniversary  of the Grant  Date if the
                  Participant  is still an employee or  director,  and as to the
                  remaining  50%  of the  total  number  of  Option  Shares,  or
                  _____ shares,  on the last  business  day prior to the  second
                  anniversary  of the Grant Date if the  Participant is still an
                  employee or director.

                  (b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Options that have
         not otherwise  terminated  pursuant to the terms of this Contract shall
         become fully vested on the date of such Change of Control. For purposes
         of this Contract,  "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence of any
         one of the following:

                           (i)   the  Company   enters   into  an  agreement  or
                  reorganization, merger  or consolidation pursuant to which the
                  Company is not the surviving corporation;

<PAGE>

                           (ii)  the Company  sells  substantially  all  of  its
                  assets;

                           (iii) in excess of 75% of the outstanding  securities
                  of the Company are acquired, in one transaction or a series of
                  transactions,  by a  single  purchaser  or  group  of  related
                  purchasers; or

                           (iv) in excess of 50% of the  outstanding  securities
                  of the Company are acquired in one  transaction or a series of
                  transactions,  by a  single  purchaser  or  group  of  related
                  purchasers,  and the Company's  Board of Directors,  within 90
                  days before or after such acquisition,  deems such acquisition
                  to be a "Change of Control" for purposes of this Contract.

                  3. Term. The term in which the Options are  exercisable  shall
commence  upon  the  vesting  of the  Options  and  shall  expire  on the  third
anniversary of the Grant Date. The  Participant  may exercise the Options at any
time during such period.  If the  Participant's  employment or directorship with
the  Company  or  its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  either  voluntarily  by the
Participant or for cause by the Company or its subsidiaries,  any Option held by
such  Participant on the date of such  termination of employment or directorship
will  terminate  thirty  (30) days  after  such date of  termination,  or on the
expiration  of the  stated  term  of  such  Option  if  earlier,  and may not be
exercised thereafter.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, the following shall constitute
"cause":

                  (i)  Participant  shall have committed an  intentional  act or
         acts  of  fraud,  embezzlement  or  theft  constituting  a  felony  and
         resulting  or intended  to result  directly  or  indirectly  in gain or
         personal  enrichment  for  Participant at the expense of the Company or
         its subsidiaries; or

                  (ii) The  Participant's  intentional  and  willful  refusal to
         perform the duties  associated  with  Participant's  position  with the
         Company or its subsidiaries.

         If the Participant's employment or directorship with the Company or its
subsidiaries  is  terminated by the Company or its  subsidiaries  for other than
"cause", Participant will retain the Options granted under this Contract subject
to the same vesting requirements and exercise period as set forth herein.

         In  the  event  of  a   Participant's   termination  of  employment  or
directorship by reason of death and provided Participant has been an employee or
director for 6 months from the Grant Date,  and provided that the conditions set
forth in 2(a)(i) and (ii) are met, 50% of all Options  held by such  Participant
shall vest prorata based on the total months of service rendered since the Grant
Date compared to 12 months and 50% of all Options held by such Participant shall
vest prorata based on the total months of service  rendered since the Grant Date
compared  to 24  months.  Options  may  thereafter  be  exercised  by the  legal
representative of the  Participant's  estate until the earlier of one year after
the date of death or the stated term of the Option.

                                        2
<PAGE>

         In the event of a  Participant's  disability,  any Option  held by such
Participant  will  continue to vest during the period of time that the  disabled
Participant receives disability benefits from the Company, its insurance carrier
or the state  and is not  gainfully  employed  elsewhere.  When the  Participant
becomes totally and  permanently  disabled and disability  benefits  cease,  all
Options  which have not vested shall  immediately  vest in full as to passage of
time conditions  only and may be exercised by the Participant  until the earlier
of one year after such date or the  satisfactions  of vesting  conditions  other
than the passage of time or the expiration of the stated term of such Option. If
the Participant  dies during any such one-year period,  any unexercised  Options
shall be subject to the provisions of the previous paragraph.

                  4.       Exercise Procedure.

                  (a)  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,
         Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving  written notice
         of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be
         purchased and the Option Price  therefor.  The Options may be exercised
         only in multiples of 100 Option  Shares  unless such  exercise is as to
         the remaining balance of the Options.

                  (b)      Payment of the Option Price may be made in one of the
         following ways:

                           (i)    in cash or by check payable to the Company;

                           (ii)   to  the  extent determined  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors  of the Company in their sole  discretion  in common
                  shares  duly  owned  by the  Participant  (and for  which  the
                  Participant  has good  title,  free and clear of any liens and
                  encumbrances); or

                           (iii)  to  the  extent  determined  by the  Board  of
                  Directors  of  the  Company  in  their  sole  discretion,   by
                  reduction in the number of common  shares  issuable  upon such
                  exercise, based, in each case, on the fair market value of the
                  common  shares on the last  business day preceding the date of
                  exercise.

                  (c) Upon payment in full of the Option Price and  satisfaction
         of  the  other  conditions   provided   herein,  a  stock   certificate
         representing  the number of common shares to which the  Participant  is
         entitled shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.

                  5. Restricted  Securities.  Participant  acknowledges that the
Options have not been registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable
state  "blue  sky" laws,  and the Option  Shares,  if and when  issued,  will be
"restricted securities" or unregistered  securities.  Participants are acquiring
the Options and will acquire the Option Shares for  investment  purposes and not
with a view towards distribution.  The Company may require each person acquiring
Option  Shares  pursuant to an Option  under this  Contract to  represent to the
Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Option Shares without a
view to distribution thereof.

<PAGE>

                  All  certificates  representing  Option Shares delivered under
this Contract shall be subject to stop transfer orders and other restrictions as
the  Company  may  deem  advisable  under  the  rules,   regulations  and  other
requirements  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  any stock exchange or
stock  market  upon which the  Option  Shares  are then  listed or  traded,  any
applicable  Federal or state  securities law, and any applicable  corporate law.
The certificates  representing the Option Shares may include any legend that the
Company deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                  6. Tax Matters.  The Options are intended to be  non-qualified
stock options under applicable tax laws and regulations.

                  7.  Subsequent  Adjustments.  If  all or  any  portion  of the
Options  shall  be  exercised  subsequent  to  any  share  dividend,   split-up,
recapitalization,  merger,  consolidations,  combination  or exchange of shares,
separation,  reorganization,  or liquidation of the Company  occurring after the
date hereof, as a result of which shares of any class shall be issued in respect
to  outstanding  common  shares of the  Company or such  common  share  shall be
changed  into the same or a  different  number of shares of the same or  another
class or classes, Participant, upon exercise of the Options, or portion thereof,
shall receive,  for the aggregate  price upon such exercise of the Options,  the
aggregate number and class of shares which, if common share as authorized at the
date  hereof  had been  purchased  or  awarded  at the date  hereof for the same
aggregate  price (on the basis of the per share  Option Price of the Options set
forth  herein) and had not been  disposed  of,  such person or persons  would be
holding,  at the time of such  exercise,  as a result of such  share  dividends,
split-ups, capitalization,  mergers, consolidations,  combinations, or exchanges
of shares, separations, reorganizations, or liquidation; provided, however, that
no fractional  shares shall be issued upon any such exercise and the  aggregated
price paid shall be  appropriately  reduced for any fractional share not issued.
This section does not give Participant any right to receive  additional  options
as a result of the issuance of additional  shares of the Company or the increase
in the authorized capital of the Company.

                  8.  Delivery  of  Option  Shares.  Upon each  exercise  of the
Options,  or portion thereof,  the Company as promptly as practicable shall mail
or deliver to the Participant a share  certificate or certificates  representing
the shares then  purchased or awarded,  and shall pay all stamp taxes payable in
connection  therewith.   The  issuance  of  such  shares  and  delivery  of  the
certificate or  certificates  therefor shall,  however,  be subject to any delay
necessary to complete (a) the listing of such shares on any stock  exchange upon
which  shares of the same  class are then  listed and (b) such  registration  or
qualification  of such shares under any state or Federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable.

                  9.  Transferability.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in this
Contract,  Options  granted  hereunder and the rights and  privileges  conferred
thereby shall not be sold,  transferred,  assigned,  or otherwise disposed of in
any way (whether by operation of law or  otherwise)  other than to the estate of
Participant as a result of the death of Participant, and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign,
or  otherwise  dispose of such  Option,  right,  or  privilege  contrary  to the
provisions  hereof,  or upon  the  levy of any  attachment  or  similar  process

                                        4
<PAGE>

thereon,  such  Option and the  rights and  privileges  conferred  hereby  shall
immediately  terminate  and the Option  shall  immediately  be  forfeited to the
Company.

                  10. Rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to any Option  Shares to be issued upon  exercise of any portion of
the Options  until the Options,  or portion  thereof,  have been  exercised  and
Option Shares issued to Participant.  No adjustment  shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary,  whether in cash, securities,  or other property) or
distributions  or other  rights for which the  record  date is prior to the date
such Option Shares are issued, except as provided above.

                  11.  Governing  Law.  This  Contract  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

                  12. Tax Liabilities. Participant is responsible for payment of
all state,  local and federal income and any other taxes in connection  with the
issuance  and/or  exercise of the Options.  Participant  hereby  authorizes  the
Company to withhold from the  Participant's  wages or salary for  application to
payment of such taxes any  amounts the Company  deems  necessary  to comply with
Federal,  state or local tax law.  In the  event  Participant  sells any  common
shares issued  pursuant to the Options within one year from the date of exercise
or within two years  after the Date of Grant,  participant  agrees to notify the
Company  promptly  of the amount of taxable  compensation  realized by reason of
such sale for income tax purposes.

                  13. Effect on Retirement.  No Option under this Contract shall
be deemed  compensation for purposes of computing  benefits under any retirement
plan nor affect any  benefits  under any other  benefit plan now or hereafter in
effect  under  which the  availability  or amount of  benefits is related to the
level of compensation.

                  14.  Miscellaneous.  If any  part of this  Contract  shall  be
determined to be invalid or void in any respect,  such  determination  shall not
affect, impair, invalidate, or nullify the remaining provisions of this Contract
which shall continue in full force and effect.

                  This  Contract  shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of any successor or successors of the Company.

                  This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts. All
of such  counterparts  shall  constitute  one and the same  agreement  and shall
become effective when one or more counterparts of this Contract have been signed
by the Company and the Participant.

                              SHARE OPTION CONTRACT
                                                           Option No. 2 - ______


                  This SHARE OPTION CONTRACT  ("Contract") is entered into as of
August 7, 1997 ("Grant Date") by and between ___________ (hereinafter called the
"Participant") and FIELDS AIRCRAFT SPARES, INC., a Utah corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company").

                  WHEREAS,  Participant  is an employee  and/or  director of the
Company or its subsidiaries; and

                  WHEREAS, the grant of this Contract to the Participant and the
execution of a Contract in the form hereof has been duly authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Company.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  the parties hereto,  in consideration of the
mutual covenants  contained  herein and other good and valuable  considerations,
agree as follows:

                  1. Grant. The Company hereby grants Participant an option (the
"Options")  to  purchase  _____  common  shares,  no par value,  of the  Company
("Option  Shares"),  at a price of Ten Dollars  ($10.00)  per share (the "Option
Price"),  and  agrees to cause  certificates  for any  Option  Shares  purchased
hereunder  to be  delivered to the  Participant  upon  payment of the  aggregate
Option  Price in  full,  all  subject,  however,  to the  terms  and  conditions
hereinafter set forth.

                  2.       Vesting.

                  (a) The Options shall vest and become fully  exercisable as to
         the Option Shares upon all of the following conditions being met:

                           (i) the Company  shall raise at least  $7,500,000  in
                  additional  debt or  equity  capital  subsequent  to the Grant
                  Date;

                           (ii)  the  Company  shall  have  sales  of  at  least
                  $14,000,000  in any 12-month  period  subsequent  to the Grant
                  Date;

                           (iii)  conditions  (i) and (ii) must have occurred if
                  at all by June 30, 1999; and

                           (iv) the  Options  shall  vest as to 50% of the total
                  number of Option Shares, or _____ shares, on the last business
                  day prior to the first  anniversary  of the Grant  Date if the
                  Participant is still an employee or a director of the Company,
                  and as to the  remaining  50% of the  total  number  of Option
                  Shares, or _____ shares, on the last business day prior to the
                  second  anniversary  of the Grant Date if the  Participant  is
                  still an employee or a director of the Company.

<PAGE>

                  (b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Options that have
         not otherwise  terminated  pursuant to the terms of this Contract shall
         become fully vested on the date of such Change of Control. For purposes
         of this Contract,  "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence of any
         one of the following:

                           (i)   the  Company  enters  into   an   agreement  or
                  reorganization, merger  or consolidation pursuant to which the
                  Company is not the surviving corporation;

                           (ii)     the Company  sells substantially  all of its
                  assets;

                           (iii) in excess of 75% of the outstanding  securities
                  of the Company are acquired, in one transaction or a series of
                  transactions,  by a  single  purchaser  or  group  of  related
                  purchasers; or

                           (iv) in excess of 50% of the  outstanding  securities
                  of the Company are acquired in one  transaction or a series of
                  transactions,  by a  single  purchaser  or  group  of  related
                  purchasers,  and the Company's  Board of Directors,  within 90
                  days before or after such acquisition,  deems such acquisition
                  to be a "Change of Control" for purposes of this Contract.

                  3. Term. The term in which the Options are  exercisable  shall
commence  upon  the  vesting  of the  Options  and  shall  expire  on the  third
anniversary of the date of vesting.  The Participant may exercise the Options at
any time during such period.  If the  Participant's  employment or  directorship
with the Company or its  subsidiaries  is terminated  either  voluntarily by the
Participant or for cause by the Company or its subsidiaries,  any Option held by
such  Participant on the date of such  termination of employment or directorship
will  terminate  thirty  (30) days  after  such date of  termination,  or on the
expiration  of the  stated  term  of  such  Option  if  earlier,  and may not be
exercised thereafter.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, the following shall constitute
"cause":

                  (i)  Participant  shall have committed an  intentional  act or
         acts  of  fraud,  embezzlement  or  theft  constituting  a  felony  and
         resulting  or intended  to result  directly  or  indirectly  in gain or
         personal  enrichment  for  Participant at the expense of the Company or
         its subsidiaries; or

                  (ii) The  Participant's  intentional  and  willful  refusal to
         perform the duties  associated  with  Participant's  position  with the
         Company or its subsidiaries.

         If the Participant's employment or directorship with the Company or its
subsidiaries  is  terminated by the Company or its  subsidiaries  for other than
"cause", Participant will retain the Options granted under this Contract subject
to the same vesting requirements and exercise period as set forth herein.

                                        2
<PAGE>

         In  the  event  of  a   Participant's   termination  of  employment  or
directorship by reason of death,  and provided  Participant has been an employee
or director for 6 months from the Grant Date,  and provided that the  conditions
set forth in 2(a)(i),  (ii) and (iii) are met,  50% of all Options  held by such
Participant  shall vest prorata  based on the total  months of service  rendered
since the Grant Date  compared to 12 months and 50% of all Options  held by such
Participant  shall vest prorata  based on the total  months of service  rendered
since the Grant Date compared to 24 months.  Options may thereafter be exercised
by the legal representative of the Participant's estate until the earlier of one
year after the date of death or the stated term of the Option.

                  In the event of a Participant's disability, any Option held by
such  Participant  will  continue  to vest  during  the  period of time that the
disabled   Participant  receives  disability  benefits  from  the  Company,  its
insurance carrier or the state and is not gainfully employed elsewhere. When the
Participant  becomes  totally and permanently  disabled and disability  benefits
cease,  all Options which have not vested shall  immediately  vest in full as to
passage of time conditions  only and may be exercised by the  Participant  until
the  earlier  of one  year  after  such  date or the  satisfactions  of  vesting
conditions  other than the passage of time or the  expiration of the stated term
of such Option.  If the Participant  dies during any such one-year  period,  any
unexercised  Options  shall  be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  previous
paragraph.

                  4.       Exercise Procedure.

                  (a)  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,
         Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving  written notice
         of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be
         purchased and the Option Price  therefor.  The Options may be exercised
         only in multiples of 100 Option  Shares  unless such  exercise is as to
         the remaining balance of the Options.

                  (b)      Payment of the Option Price may be made in one of the
         following ways:

                           (i)    in cash or by check payable to the Company;

                           (ii)   to the  extent  determined  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors  of the Company in their sole  discretion  in common
                  shares  duly  owned  by the  Participant  (and for  which  the
                  Participant  has good  title,  free and clear of any liens and
                  encumbrances); or

                           (iii)  to  the  extent  determined  by the  Board  of
                  Directors  of  the  Company  in  their  sole  discretion,   by
                  reduction in the number of common  shares  issuable  upon such
                  exercise, based, in each case, on the fair market value of the
                  common  shares on the last  business day preceding the date of
                  exercise.

                                        3
<PAGE>

                  (c) Upon payment in full of the Option Price and  satisfaction
         of  the  other  conditions   provided   herein,  a  stock   certificate
         representing  the number of common shares to which the  Participant  is
         entitled shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.


                  5. Restricted  Securities.  Participant  acknowledges that the
Options have not been registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable
state  "blue  sky" laws,  and the Option  Shares,  if and when  issued,  will be
"restricted securities" or unregistered  securities.  Participants are acquiring
the Options and will acquire the Option Shares for  investment  purposes and not
with a view towards distribution.  The Company may require each person acquiring
Option  Shares  pursuant to an Option  under this  Contract to  represent to the
Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Option Shares without a
view to distribution thereof.

                  All  certificates  representing  Option Shares delivered under
this Contract shall be subject to stop transfer orders and other restrictions as
the  Company  may  deem  advisable  under  the  rules,   regulations  and  other
requirements  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  any stock exchange or
stock  market  upon which the  Option  Shares  are then  listed or  traded,  any
applicable  Federal or state  securities law, and any applicable  corporate law.
The certificates  representing the Option Shares may include any legend that the
Company deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                  6. Tax Matters.  The Options are intended to be  non-qualified
stock options under applicable tax laws and regulations.

                  7.  Subsequent  Adjustments.  If  all or  any  portion  of the
Options  shall  be  exercised  subsequent  to  any  share  dividend,   split-up,
recapitalization,  merger,  consolidations,  combination  or exchange of shares,
separation,  reorganization,  or liquidation of the Company  occurring after the
date hereof, as a result of which shares of any class shall be issued in respect
to  outstanding  common  shares of the  Company or such  common  share  shall be
changed  into the same or a  different  number of shares of the same or  another
class or classes, Participant, upon exercise of the Options, or portion thereof,
shall receive,  for the aggregate  price upon such exercise of the Options,  the
aggregate number and class of shares which, if common share as authorized at the
date  hereof  had been  purchased  or  awarded  at the date  hereof for the same
aggregate  price (on the basis of the per share  Option Price of the Options set
forth  herein) and had not been  disposed  of,  such person or persons  would be
holding,  at the time of such  exercise,  as a result of such  share  dividends,
split-ups, capitalization,  mergers, consolidations,  combinations, or exchanges
of shares, separations, reorganizations, or liquidation; provided, however, that
no fractional  shares shall be issued upon any such exercise and the  aggregated
price paid shall be  appropriately  reduced for any fractional share not issued.
This section does not give Participant any right to receive  additional  options
as a result of the issuance of additional  shares of the Company or the increase
in the authorized capital of the Company.

                                        4
<PAGE>

                  8.  Delivery  of  Option  Shares.  Upon each  exercise  of the
Options,  or portion thereof,  the Company as promptly as practicable shall mail
or deliver to the Participant a share  certificate or certificates  representing
the shares then  purchased or awarded,  and shall pay all stamp taxes payable in
connection  therewith.   The  issuance  of  such  shares  and  delivery  of  the
certificate or  certificates  therefor shall,  however,  be subject to any delay
necessary to complete (a) the listing of such shares on any stock  exchange upon
which  shares of the same  class are then  listed and (b) such  registration  or
qualification  of such shares under any state or Federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable.

                  9.  Transferability.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in this
Contract,  Options  granted  hereunder and the rights and  privileges  conferred
thereby shall not be sold,  transferred,  assigned,  or otherwise disposed of in
any way (whether by operation of law or  otherwise)  other than to the estate of
Participant as a result of the death of Participant, and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign,
or  otherwise  dispose of such  Option,  right,  or  privilege  contrary  to the
provisions  hereof,  or upon  the  levy of any  attachment  or  similar  process
thereon,  such  Option and the  rights and  privileges  conferred  hereby  shall
immediately  terminate  and the Option  shall  immediately  be  forfeited to the
Company.

                  10. Rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to any Option  Shares to be issued upon  exercise of any portion of
the Options  until the Options,  or portion  thereof,  have been  exercised  and
Option Shares issued to Participant.  No adjustment  shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary,  whether in cash, securities,  or other property) or
distributions  or other  rights for which the  record  date is prior to the date
such Option Shares are issued, except as provided above.

                  11.  Governing  Law.  This  Contract  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

                  12. Tax Liabilities. Participant is responsible for payment of
all state,  local and federal income and any other taxes in connection  with the
issuance  and/or  exercise of the Options.  Participant  hereby  authorizes  the
Company to withhold from the  Participant's  wages or salary for  application to
payment of such taxes any  amounts the Company  deems  necessary  to comply with
Federal,  state or local tax law.  In the  event  Participant  sells any  common
shares issued  pursuant to the Options within one year from the date of exercise
or within two years  after the Date of Grant,  participant  agrees to notify the
Company  promptly  of the amount of taxable  compensation  realized by reason of
such sale for income tax purposes.

                  13. Effect on Retirement.  No Option under this Contract shall
be deemed  compensation for purposes of computing  benefits under any retirement
plan nor affect any  benefits  under any other  benefit plan now or hereafter in
effect  under  which the  availability  or amount of  benefits is related to the
level of compensation.

affect, impair, invalidate, or nullify the remaining provisions of this Contract
which shall continue in full force and effect.

                  This  Contract  shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of any successor or successors of the Company.

                  This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts. All
of such  counterparts  shall  constitute  one and the same  agreement  and shall
become effective when one or more counterparts of this Contract have been signed
by the Company and the Participant.

                                                            Option No. 3 - _____


                  This SHARE OPTION CONTRACT  ("Contract") is entered into as of
,  19  ("Grant  Date")  by  and  between  ___________  (hereinafter  called  the
"Participant") and FIELDS AIRCRAFT SPARES, INC., a Utah corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company").

                  WHEREAS, Participant is an employee [consultant] [director] of
the Company or its subsidiaries;

                  WHEREAS, the grant of this Contract to the Participant and the
execution hereof has been duly authorized pursuant to the terms of the Company's
1997 Omnibus Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") as of the Grant Date; and

                  WHEREAS, the grant of this Contract to the Participant and the
execution of a Contract in the form hereof has been duly authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Company.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  the parties hereto,  in consideration of the
mutual covenants  contained  herein and other good and valuable  considerations,
agree as follows:

                  1. Grant. The Company hereby grants  Participant an [Incentive

Price"),  and  agrees to cause  certificates  for any  Option  Shares  purchased
hereunder  to be  delivered to the  Participant  upon  payment of the  aggregate
Option  Price in  full,  all  subject,  however,  to the  terms  and  conditions
hereinafter set forth and set forth in the Plan.

                  2.       Vesting.

                  (a) The Options shall vest and become fully  exercisable as to
         50% of the total number of Option Shares,  or _____ shares, on the last
         business  day prior to the first  anniversary  of the Grant Date if the
         Participant is still an [employee] [consultant]  [director],  and as to
         the  remaining  50% of the total  number of  Option  Shares,  or ______
         shares, on the last business day prior to the second anniversary of the
         Grant  Date if the  Participant  is  still an  [employee]  [consultant]
         [director].

                  (b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Options that have
         not otherwise  terminated  pursuant to the terms of this Contract shall
         become fully vested on the date of such Change of Control. For purposes
         of this Contract,  "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence of any
         one of the following:

                  (i)  the Company enters into  an agreement or  reorganization,
         merger or  consolidation  pursuant  to which  the  Company is  not  the
         surviving corporation;

<PAGE>
                  (ii)  the Company sells substantially all of its assets;

                  (iii) in excess of 75% of the  outstanding  securities  of the
         Company are acquired,  in one transaction or a series of  transactions,
         by a single purchaser or group of related purchasers; or

                  (iv) in excess  of 50% of the  outstanding  securities  of the
         Company are acquired in one transaction or a series of transactions, by
         a single  purchaser or group of related  purchasers,  and the Company's
         Board of  Directors,  within 90 days before or after such  acquisition,
         deems such acquisition to be a "Change of Control" for purposes of this
         Contract.

                  3. Term. The term in which the Options are  exercisable  shall
commence  upon  the  vesting  of the  Options  and  shall  expire  on the  fifth
anniversary of the Grant Date. The  Participant  may exercise the Options at any
time  during  such  period.  If  the  Participant's   [employment]  [consulting]
[directorship]  with  the  Company  or its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  either
voluntarily by the Participant or for cause by the Company or its  subsidiaries,
any  Option  held by  such  Participant  on the  date  of  such  termination  of
[employment]  [consulting]  [directorship] will terminate thirty (30) days after
such date of termination, or on the expiration of the stated term of such Option
if earlier, and may not be exercised thereafter.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, the following shall constitute
"cause":

                  (i)  Participant  shall have committed an  intentional  act or
         acts  of  fraud,  embezzlement  or  theft  constituting  a  felony  and
         resulting  or intended  to result  directly  or  indirectly  in gain or
         personal  enrichment  for  Participant at the expense of the Company or
         its subsidiaries; or

                  (ii) The  Participant's  intentional  and  willful  refusal to
         perform the duties  associated  with  Participant's  position  with the
         Company or its subsidiaries.

         If the Participant's [employment]  [directorship] [consulting] with the
Company or its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries for
other than  "cause",  Participant  will  retain the Options  granted  under this
Contract  subject to the same vesting  requirements  and exercise  period as set
forth herein.

         In  the  event  of  a   Participant's   termination   of   [employment]
[directorship]  [consulting]  by reason of death,  and provided  Participant has
been an employee,  director or consultant  for 6 months from the Grant Date, 50%
of all Options held by such  Participant  shall vest prorata  based on the total
months of service rendered since the Grant Date compared to 12 months and 50% of
all  Options  held by such  Participant  shall vest  prorata  based on the total
months of service  rendered since the Grant Date compared to 24 months.  Options
may  thereafter be exercised by the legal  representative  of the  Participant's
estate  until the earlier of one year after the date of death or the stated term
of the Option.

                                        2
<PAGE>

         In the event of a  Participant's  disability,  any Option  held by such
Participant  will  continue to vest during the period of time that the  disabled
Participant receives disability benefits from the Company, its insurance carrier
or the state  and is not  gainfully  employed  elsewhere.  When the  Participant
becomes totally and  permanently  disabled and disability  benefits  cease,  all
Options  which have not vested shall  immediately  vest in full as to passage of
time conditions  only and may be exercised by the Participant  until the earlier
of one year after such date or the  satisfactions  of vesting  conditions  other
than the passage of time or the expiration of the stated term of such Option. If
the Participant  dies during any such one-year period,  any unexercised  Options
shall be subject to the provisions of the previous paragraph.

                  4.       Exercise Procedure.

                  (a)  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,
         Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving  written notice
         of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be
         purchased and the Option Price  therefor.  The Options may be exercised
         only in multiples of 100 Option  Shares  unless such  exercise is as to
         the remaining balance of the Options.

                  (b)      Payment of the Option Price may be made in one of the
         following ways:

                           (i)      in cash or by check payable to the Company;

                           (ii)  to  the  extent  determined  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors  of the Company in their sole  discretion  in common
                  shares  duly  owned  by the  Participant  (and for  which  the
                  Participant  has good  title,  free and clear of any liens and
                  encumbrances); or

                           (iii)  to  the  extent  determined  by the  Board  of
                  Directors  of  the  Company  in  their  sole  discretion,   by
                  reduction in the number of common  shares  issuable  upon such
                  exercise, based, in each case, on the fair market value of the
                  common  shares on the last  business day preceding the date of
                  exercise.

                  (c) Upon payment in full of the Option Price and  satisfaction
         of  the  other  conditions   provided   herein,  a  stock   certificate
         representing  the number of common shares to which the  Participant  is
         entitled shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.

                  5. Restricted  Securities.  Participant  acknowledges that the
Options have not been registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable
state  "blue  sky" laws,  and the Option  Shares,  if and when  issued,  will be
"restricted securities" or unregistered  securities.  Participants are acquiring
the Options and will acquire the Option Shares for  investment  purposes and not
with a view towards distribution.  The Company may require each person acquiring
Option  Shares  pursuant to an Option  under this  Contract to  represent to the
Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Option Shares without a
view to distribution thereof.

                                        3
<PAGE>

                  All  certificates  representing  Option Shares delivered under
this Contract shall be subject to stop transfer orders and other restrictions as
the  Company  may  deem  advisable  under  the  rules,   regulations  and  other
requirements  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  any stock exchange or
stock  market  upon which the  Option  Shares  are then  listed or  traded,  any
applicable  Federal or state  securities law, and any applicable  corporate law.
The certificates  representing the Option Shares may include any legend that the
Company deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                  6. Tax  Matters.  The Options are  intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option [Non-Qualified Stock Option]. The Participant acknowledges that the
date of the exercise of the Options or the sale of shares  issued on exercise of
the Options could affect his or her individual tax treatment with respect to the
Options.  [The  Options  shall only vest to the extent that the  aggregate  Fair
Market Value,  as defined in the Plan, as of the respective date of grant of all
Incentive Stock Options  granted to Participant  under the Plan and/or any other
stock option plan of the Company or any subsidiary or parent corporation (within
the meaning of Section  424 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  1986,  as amended)
becoming exercisable in that calendar year do not exceed $100,000.

                  In the event that the aggregate Fair Market Value,  as defined
in the Plan, of all Incentive  Stock Options  granted to  Participant  under the
Plan and/or any other stock  option  plan of the  Company or any  subsidiary  or
parent  corporation  (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Internal  Revenue
Code,  1986,  as amended)  becoming  exercisable  in that  calendar year exceeds
$100,000 (the "Threshold"), the following conditions shall apply:

                           (i) The  portion  of any  Options  under  this  Share
                  Option Contract becoming exercisable in that calendar year and
                  causing  Participant  to exceed the  Threshold  shall not vest
                  until the following  calendar year, unless  Participant agrees
                  to treat  such  Options  as  non-qualified  to the  extent the
                  Options exceed the Threshold.

                           (ii)  The  expiration  date of the  Options  shall be
                  extended until the earlier of (a) the day prior to the seventh
                  anniversary  of the Grant  Date,  or (b) one year after all of
                  the Options become fully exercisable.]


                  7.  Subsequent  Adjustments.  If  all or  any  portion  of the
Options  shall  be  exercised  subsequent  to  any  share  dividend,   split-up,
recapitalization,  merger,  consolidations,  combination  or exchange of shares,
separation,  reorganization,  or liquidation of the Company  occurring after the
date hereof, as a result of which shares of any class shall be issued in respect
to  outstanding  common  shares of the  Company or such  common  share  shall be
changed  into the same or a  different  number of shares of the same or  another
class or classes, Participant, upon exercise of the Options, or portion thereof,

                                        4
<PAGE>

shall receive,  for the aggregate  price upon such exercise of the Options,  the
aggregate number and class of shares which, if common share as authorized at the
date  hereof  had been  purchased  or  awarded  at the date  hereof for the same
aggregate  price (on the basis of the per share  Option Price of the Options set
forth  herein) and had not been  disposed  of,  such person or persons  would be
holding,  at the time of such  exercise,  as a result of such  share  dividends,
split-ups, capitalization,  mergers, consolidations,  combinations, or exchanges
of shares, separations, reorganizations, or liquidation; provided, however, that
no fractional  shares shall be issued upon any such exercise and the  aggregated
price paid shall be  appropriately  reduced for any fractional share not issued.
This section does not give Participant any right to receive  additional  options
as a result of the issuance of additional  shares of the Company or the increase
in the authorized capital of the Company.

                  8.  Delivery  of  Option  Shares.  Upon each  exercise  of the
Options,  or portion thereof,  the Company as promptly as practicable shall mail
or deliver to the Participant a share  certificate or certificates  representing
the shares then  purchased or awarded,  and shall pay all stamp taxes payable in
connection  therewith.   The  issuance  of  such  shares  and  delivery  of  the
certificate or  certificates  therefor shall,  however,  be subject to any delay
necessary to complete (a) the listing of such shares on any stock  exchange upon
which  shares of the same  class are then  listed and (b) such  registration  or
qualification  of such shares under any state or Federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable.

                  9. Transferability.   Transferability   of   Options   granted
hereunder is limited as set forth in the Plan.

                  10. Rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to any Option  Shares to be issued upon  exercise of any portion of
the Options  until the Options,  or portion  thereof,  have been  exercised  and
Option Shares issued to Participant.  No adjustment  shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary,  whether in cash, securities,  or other property) or
distributions  or other  rights for which the  record  date is prior to the date
such Option Shares are issued, except as provided above.

                  11.  Governing  Law.  This  Contract  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

                  12. Tax Liabilities. Participant is responsible for payment of
all state,  local and federal income and any other taxes in connection  with the
issuance  and/or  exercise of the Options.  Participant  hereby  authorizes  the
Company to withhold from the  Participant's  wages or salary for  application to
payment of such taxes any  amounts the Company  deems  necessary  to comply with
Federal,  state or local tax law.  In the  event  Participant  sells any  common
shares issued  pursuant to the Options within one year from the date of exercise
or within two years  after the Date of Grant,  participant  agrees to notify the
Company  promptly  of the amount of taxable  compensation  realized by reason of
such sale for income tax purposes.

                  13. Effect on Retirement.  No Option under this Contract shall
be deemed  compensation for purposes of computing  benefits under any retirement

                                        5
<PAGE>

plan nor affect any  benefits  under any other  benefit plan now or hereafter in
effect  under  which the  availability  or amount of  benefits is related to the
level of compensation.

                  14.  Miscellaneous.  If any  part of this  Contract  shall  be
determined to be invalid or void in any respect,  such  determination  shall not
affect, impair, invalidate, or nullify the remaining provisions of this Contract
which shall continue in full force and effect.

                  This  Contract  shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of any successor or successors of the Company.

                  This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts. All
of such  counterparts  shall  constitute  one and the same  agreement  and shall
become effective when one or more counterparts of this Contract have been signed
by the Company and the Participant.

                  15.  Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this Contract and
that are not  otherwise  defined  herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Plan. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.

January 16, 1998 ("Grant Date") by and between  ___________  (hereinafter called

(hereinafter called the "Company").

                  WHEREAS,   Participant   is  an  employee  of  the   Company's

                  if the Participant is still an employee or director, and as to

         Board of  Directors,  within 90 days before or after such  acquisition,
         deems such acquisition to be a "Change of Control" for purposes of this
         Contract.

                  3. Term. The term in which the Options are  exercisable  shall
commence  upon  the  vesting  of the  Options  and  shall  expire  on the  third

any  time  during  such  period.  If the  Participant's  employment  with FMI is
terminated either voluntarily by the Participant or for cause by FMI, any Option
held by such  Participant  on the date of such  termination  of employment  will
terminate thirty (30) days after such date of termination,  or on the expiration
of the  stated  term of  such  Option  if  earlier,  and  may  not be  exercised
thereafter.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, the following shall constitute
"cause":

                  (i)  Participant  shall have committed an  intentional  act or
         acts  of  fraud,  embezzlement  or  theft  constituting  a  felony  and
         resulting  or intended  to result  directly  or  indirectly  in gain or
         personal  enrichment  for  Participant at the expense of the Company or
         its subsidiaries; or

                  (ii) The  Participant's  intentional  and  willful  refusal to
         perform the duties associated with Participant's position with FMI.

         If the Participant's employment with FMI is terminated by FMI for other
than "cause",  Participant  will retain the Options  granted under this Contract
subject  to the same  vesting  requirements  and  exercise  period  as set forth
herein.

         In the event of a Participant's  termination of employment by reason of
death and provided  Participant has been an employee for 6 months from the Grant
Date,  and provided that the  conditions set in 2(a)(i) and (ii) are met, 50% of
all  Options  held by such  Participant  shall vest  prorata  based on the total
months of service rendered since the Grant Date compared to 12 months and 50% of
all  Options  held by such  Participant  shall vest  prorata  based on the total
months of service  rendered since the Grant Date compared to 24 months.  Options
may  thereafter be exercised by the legal  representative  of the  Participant's
estate  until the earlier of one year after the date of death or the stated term
of the Option.

         In the event of a  Participant's  disability,  any Option  held by such
Participant  will  continue to vest during the period of time that the  disabled
Participant receives disability benefits from the Company, its insurance carrier
or the state and is not gainfully employed elsewhere.

                                        2
<PAGE>

When the Participant  becomes  totally and  permanently  disabled and disability
benefits cease, all Options which have not vested shall immediately vest in full
as to passage of time  conditions  only and may be exercised by the  Participant
until the  earlier of one year after such date or the  satisfactions  of vesting
conditions  other than the passage of time or the  expiration of the stated term
of such Option.  If the Participant  dies during any such one-year  period,  any
unexercised  Options  shall  be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  previous
paragraph.

                  4.       Exercise Procedure.

                  (a)  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,
         Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving  written notice
         of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be
         purchased and the Option Price  therefor.  The Options may be exercised
         only in multiples of 100 Option  Shares  unless such  exercise is as to
         the remaining balance of the Options.

                  (b)      Payment of the Option Price may be made in one of the
         following ways:

                           (i)   in cash or by check payable to the Company;

                           (ii)  to  the  extent  determined  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors  of the Company in their sole  discretion  in common
                  shares  duly  owned  by the  Participant  (and for  which  the
                  Participant  has good  title,  free and clear of any liens and
                  encumbrances); or

                           (iii)  to  the  extent  determined  by the  Board  of
                  Directors  of  the  Company  in  their  sole  discretion,   by
                  reduction in the number of common  shares  issuable  upon such
                  exercise, based, in each case, on the fair market value of the
                  common  shares on the last  business day preceding the date of
                  exercise.

                  (c) Upon payment in full of the Option Price and  satisfaction
         of  the  other  conditions   provided   herein,  a  stock   certificate
         representing  the number of common shares to which the  Participant  is
         entitled shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.

                  5. Restricted  Securities.  Participant  acknowledges that the
Options have not been registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable
state  "blue  sky" laws,  and the Option  Shares,  if and when  issued,  will be
"restricted securities" or unregistered  securities.  Participants are acquiring
the Options and will acquire the Option Shares for  investment  purposes and not
with a view towards distribution.  The Company may require each person acquiring
Option  Shares  pursuant to an Option  under this  Contract to  represent to the
Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Option Shares without a
view to distribution thereof.

                  All  certificates  representing  Option Shares delivered under
this Contract shall be subject to stop transfer orders and other restrictions as
the  Company  may  deem  advisable  under  the  rules,   regulations  and  other
requirements  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  any stock exchange or
stock market  upon which  the  Option Shares  are  then  listed  or  traded, any

                                        3
<PAGE>

applicable  Federal or state  securities law, and any applicable  corporate law.
The certificates  representing the Option Shares may include any legend that the
Company deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                  6. Tax Matters.  The Options are intended to be  non-qualified
stock options under applicable tax laws and regulations.

                  7.  Subsequent  Adjustments.  If  all or  any  portion  of the
Options  shall  be  exercised  subsequent  to  any  share  dividend,   split-up,
recapitalization,  merger,  consolidations,  combination  or exchange of shares,
separation,  reorganization,  or liquidation of the Company  occurring after the
date hereof, as a result of which shares of any class shall be issued in respect
to  outstanding  common  shares of the  Company or such  common  share  shall be
changed  into the same or a  different  number of shares of the same or  another
class or classes, Participant, upon exercise of the Options, or portion thereof,
shall receive,  for the aggregate  price upon such exercise of the Options,  the
aggregate number and class of shares which, if common share as authorized at the
date  hereof  had been  purchased  or  awarded  at the date  hereof for the same
aggregate  price (on the basis of the per share  Option Price of the Options set
forth  herein) and had not been  disposed  of,  such person or persons  would be
holding,  at the time of such  exercise,  as a result of such  share  dividends,
split-ups, capitalization,  mergers, consolidations,  combinations, or exchanges
of shares, separations, reorganizations, or liquidation; provided, however, that
no fractional  shares shall be issued upon any such exercise and the  aggregated
price paid shall be  appropriately  reduced for any fractional share not issued.
This section does not give Participant any right to receive  additional  options
as a result of the issuance of additional  shares of the Company or the increase
in the authorized capital of the Company.

                  8.  Delivery  of  Option  Shares.  Upon each  exercise  of the
Options,  or portion thereof,  the Company as promptly as practicable shall mail
or deliver to the Participant a share  certificate or certificates  representing
the shares then  purchased or awarded,  and shall pay all stamp taxes payable in
connection  therewith.   The  issuance  of  such  shares  and  delivery  of  the
certificate or  certificates  therefor shall,  however,  be subject to any delay
necessary to complete (a) the listing of such shares on any stock  exchange upon
which  shares of the same  class are then  listed and (b) such  registration  or
qualification  of such shares under any state or Federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable.

                  9.  Transferability.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in this
Contract,  Options  granted  hereunder and the rights and  privileges  conferred
thereby shall not be sold,  transferred,  assigned,  or otherwise disposed of in
any way (whether by operation of law or  otherwise)  other than to the estate of
Participant as a result of the death of Participant, and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign,
or  otherwise  dispose of such  Option,  right,  or  privilege  contrary  to the
provisions  hereof,  or upon  the  levy of any  attachment  or  similar  process
thereon,  such  Option and the  rights and  privileges  conferred  hereby  shall
immediately  terminate  and the Option  shall  immediately  be  forfeited to the
Company.

                  10. Rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to any Option  Shares to be issued upon  exercise of any portion of
the Options  until the Options,  or portion  thereof,  have been  exercised  and

                                        4
<PAGE>

Option Shares issued to Participant.  No adjustment  shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary,  whether in cash, securities,  or other property) or
distributions  or other  rights for which the  record  date is prior to the date
such Option Shares are issued, except as provided above.

                  11.  Governing  Law.  This  Contract  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

                  12. Tax Liabilities. Participant is responsible for payment of
all state,  local and federal income and any other taxes in connection  with the
issuance  and/or  exercise of the Options.  Participant  hereby  authorizes  the
Company to withhold from the  Participant's  wages or salary for  application to
payment of such taxes any  amounts the Company  deems  necessary  to comply with
Federal,  state or local tax law.  In the  event  Participant  sells any  common
shares issued  pursuant to the Options within one year from the date of exercise
or within two years  after the Date of Grant,  participant  agrees to notify the
Company  promptly  of the amount of taxable  compensation  realized by reason of
such sale for income tax purposes.

                  13. Effect on Retirement.  No Option under this Contract shall
be deemed  compensation for purposes of computing  benefits under any retirement
plan nor affect any  benefits  under any other  benefit plan now or hereafter in
effect  under  which the  availability  or amount of  benefits is related to the
level of compensation.

                  14.  Miscellaneous.  If any  part of this  Contract  shall  be
determined to be invalid or void in any respect,  such  determination  shall not
affect, impair, invalidate, or nullify the remaining provisions of this Contract
which shall continue in full force and effect.

                  This  Contract  shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of any successor or successors of the Company.

                  This Contract may be executed in one or more counterparts. All
of such  counterparts  shall  constitute  one and the same  agreement  and shall
become effective when one or more counterparts of this Contract have been signed
by the Company and the Participant.

grant,  pursuant  to the terms of the Plan,  Share  Options to persons  eligible
under Article 5. In particular, the Administrator shall have the authority:

                           (a)      to select the Participants  to whom  Options
may from time to time be granted;

                           (b)      to determine the number  of Common Shares to

that may be issued  under the Plan is 167,600  (subject  to increase or decrease

having been exercised in full,  the number of unpurchased  shares shall again be
available for the purposes of the Plan.

                  4.2.  Changes.  In the  event of any  merger,  reorganization,
consolidation,  recapitalization, dividend (other than a regular cash dividend),
share split, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Shares,
such substitution or adjustment shall be made in the maximum aggregate number of
shares  which may be issued  under the Plan,  the maximum  number of shares with

                           (a)     Each  Option  shall   be  evidenced  by,  and
subject to the terms of, a Share Option  Contract  executed by the Company.  The
Share Option  Contract  shall specify the number of Common Shares subject to the
Option,  the option price,  the option term,  and the other terms and conditions
applicable to the Option.

                           (b)     The option price per Common Share purchasable
upon exercise of a Option shall be determined by the  Administrator  at the time
of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Shares on the date of grant.

<PAGE>

                           (c)     The term of each Option shall be fixed by the
Administrator  at the time of grant,  but no Share Option  shall be  exercisable
more than ten years after the date it is granted.

                           (d)     Options shall be  exercisable at such time or
times and subject to such terms and  conditions  as shall be  determined  by the
Administrator  at the time of grant,  and subject to Section  6.2(k);  provided,
however,  that the Administrator  may waive any installment  exercise or waiting
period  provisions,  in whole or in part,  at any time  after the date of grant,
based on such factors as the  Administrator  shall deem  appropriate in its sole
discretion.

                           (e)     Subject  to  such  installment  exercise  and
waiting period provisions as may be imposed by the Administrator, Options may be
exercised  in whole or in part at any time during the option term by  delivering
to the Company written notice of exercise specifying the number of Common Shares
to be purchased and the aggregate option price therefor.  The notice of exercise
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the option price and, if requested by
the Company,  by the  representation  described  in Section 8.2.  Payment of the
option price may be made in one of the following ways:

                           (i)  in cash or by check payable to the Company;

                           (ii) to the extent determined by the Administrator on
                  or after the date of grant, in Common Shares duly owned by the
                  Participant  (and for which the  Participant  has good  title,
                  free and clear of any liens and encumbrances); or

                           (iii) to the extent  determined by the  Administrator
                  on or after the date of grant,  by  reduction in the number of
                  Common Shares  issuable  upon such  exercise,  based,  in each
                  case,  on the Fair  Market  Value of the Common  Shares on the
                  last business day preceding the date of exercise. Upon payment
                  in full of the  option  price  and  satisfaction  of the other
                  conditions  provided herein, a stock certificate  representing
                  the  number of  Common  Shares  to which  the  Participant  is
                  entitled shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.

                           (f)     Unless   otherwise    determined    by    the
Administrator  on or after  the date of grant,  in the event of a  Participant's
Termination  of  Employment  by  reason  of  death,  all  Options  held  by such
Participant  shall fully vest as to passage of time  conditions only on the date
of death,  and may  thereafter be exercised by the legal  representative  of the
Participant's  estate  until the  earlier of one year after the date of death or
the  expiration  of the stated term of such  Option,  provided  that the vesting
conditions have been met as established in the Share Option Contract.

                           (g)     On or after  the date of  grant, in the event
of a Participant's Disability, any Option held by such Participant will continue
to vest  during  the  period  of time  that the  disabled  Participant  receives
Disability benefits from the Company, its insurance carrier or the State, and is
not gainfully  employed  elsewhere.  When the  Participant  becomes  totally and
permanently  Disabled and Disability  benefits cease, all Options which have not

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>

vested shall  immediately vest in full as to passage of time conditions only and
may be  exercised  by the  Participant  until the earlier of one year after such
date or the satisfaction of vesting conditions other than the passage of time or
the expiration of the stated term of such Option. If the Participant dies during
any such  one-year  period,  any  unexercised  Options  shall be  subject to the
provisions of Section 6.2(f) above.

                           (h)     Unless   otherwise    determined    by    the
Administrator  on or after  the date of grant,  in the event of a  Participant's
Termination  of  Employment by reason of retirement or for any reason other than
death, Disability,  or Termination for Cause, any Option exercisable on the date
of such  Termination  of  Employment  shall  become fully  exercisable,  and may
thereafter  be exercised by the  Participant  until the earlier of 30 days after
such date or the  expiration  of the stated term of such Option,  and any Option
not exercisable on the date of Termination of Employment shall be forfeited.

                           (i)     In the event of a  Termination for Cause, any
Option held by the Participant  that was not exercised prior to the date of such
Termination for Cause shall be forfeited.

                           (j)     In the event  of  a Change  of  Control,  all
outstanding  Options shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable  during
the period of one hundred  twenty (120) days  following  the date upon which the
Company obtained actual knowledge of such Change of Control of the Company.

                           (k)     No  Option  shall  be  transferrable  by  the
Participant  otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and  distribution,
to the  extent  consistent  with the terms of the Plan and the  Option,  and all
Options shall be exercisable,  during the  Participant's  lifetime,  only by the
Participant.

                  6.3. Rights as Shareholder.  A Participant shall not be deemed
to be the holder of Common  Shares,  or to have any of the rights of a holder of
Common Shares, with respect to shares subject to an Option, unless and until the
Option is exercised and a share  certificate  representing such Common Shares is
issued to the Participant.

                            Termination or Amendment

                  7.1.  Termination  or Amendment of Plan.  The Board may at any
time amend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or any part thereof (including any
amendment  deemed  necessary  to ensure  that the  Company  may comply  with any
regulatory  requirement);  provided,  however that, unless otherwise required by
law, the rights of a Participant  with respect to Options  granted prior to such
amendment, discontinuance or termination may not be impaired without the consent
of such  Participant  and,  provided  further,  that the  Company  will seek the
approval of the  Company's  shareholders  for any  amendment if such approval is
necessary to comply with the Code,  Federal or state securities law or any other
applicable rules or regulations.

                  7.2.  Amendment  of Options.  The Board may amend the terms of
any Option previously granted,  prospectively or retroactively,  but, subject to
Article  4, no such  amendment  or other  action by the Board  shall  impair the
rights of any holder without the holder's consent.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                               General Provisions

                  8.1. Nonassignment.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan,
any Option granted hereunder and the rights and privileges conferred thereby may
not be sold, transferred,  assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether
by  operation  of law or  otherwise),  and shall not be  subject  to  execution,
attachment or similar  process.  Upon any attempt to transfer,  assign,  pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise  dispose of an Option,  right or privilege  contrary to
the provisions  hereof,  or upon the levy of any  attachment or similar  process
thereon,  such  Option and the rights and  privileges  conferred  thereby  shall
immediately  terminate  and the Option  shall  immediately  be  forfeited to the
Company.

                  8.2.  Legend.  The Company may require  each person  acquiring
Common  Shares upon exercise of an Option to represent to the Company in writing
that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to the  distribution
thereof. The certificates  representing such shares may include any legend which
the Company  deems  appropriate  to reflect any  restrictions  on transfer.  All
certificates  representing  Common  Shares  delivered  under  the Plan  shall be
subject to such share transfer orders and other  restrictions as the Company may
deem  advisable  under the  rules,  regulations  and other  requirements  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  any stock  exchange or stock market upon
which the Common  Shares are then listed or traded,  any  applicable  Federal or
state securities law, and any applicable  corporate law. The Company may cause a
legend  or  legends  to be put on any  such  certificates  to  make  appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

                  8.3. Other Plans.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent
the Company from adopting  other or additional  compensation  arrangements,  and
such  arrangements  may be either  generally  applicable or  applicable  only in
specific cases.

                  8.4. No Right to Employment. Neither the Plan nor the grant of
any Option shall give any Participant or other employee,  consultant or director
any right with respect to continuance of employment,  consulting relationship or
directorship,  as the case may be, with the Company or any subsidiary, nor shall
the Plan impose any  limitation on the right of the Company or any subsidiary by
which a  Participant  is employed to  terminate a  Participant's  employment  or
consulting  relationship  at any  time.  Neither  the Plan nor the  grant of any
Option shall give any director the right to continue as a member of the Board or
obligate the Company to nominate any director for  reelection  by the  Company's
shareholders.

                  8.5. Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall have the right to
reduce the number of Common  Shares  otherwise  deliverable  upon exercise of an
Option by an amount that would have a Fair  Market  Value equal to the amount of
all Federal,  state and local taxes  required to be  withheld,  or to deduct the

                                      - 7 -
<PAGE>

amount  of  such  taxes  from  any  cash  payment  otherwise  to be  made to the
Participant,  pursuant  to the  Plan  or  otherwise.  In  connection  with  such
withholding,  the Company may make such  arrangements as are consistent with the
Plan as it may deem appropriate.

                  8.6.     Listing and Other Conditions.

                           (a)      If  the  Common  Shares  are  listed  on   a
national  securities  exchange or Nasdaq, the issuance of any Common Shares upon
exercise of an Option shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on such
exchange or Nasdaq.  The Company  shall have no  obligation  to issue any Common
Shares unless and until such shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any
Option shall be suspended until such listing has been effected.

                           (b)      If at any time counsel  to the Company shall
be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Common Shares upon exercise of an
Option is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of
excise  taxes  under  the  statutes,  rules  or  regulations  of any  applicable
jurisdiction,  the  Company  shall  have  no  obligation  to make  such  sale or
delivery,  or  to  make  any  application  or  to  effect  or  to  maintain  any
qualification or registration  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or
otherwise  with respect to Common  Shares or Options,  and the right to exercise
any Option shall be suspended  until, in the opinion of such counsel,  such sale
or  delivery  shall be lawful or shall not  result in the  imposition  of excise
taxes.

                           (c)      Upon termination of any period of suspension
under this Section 8.6, any Option affected by such  suspension  which shall not
then have expired or terminated  shall be reinstated as to all shares  available
before  such  suspension  and as to shares  which  would  otherwise  have become
available during the period of such suspension, and such suspension shall extend
the term of any Option for the period of such suspension.

                  8.7.  Governing  Law. The Plan and actions taken in connection
herewith  shall be governed  and  construed in  accordance  with the laws of the
State of Utah without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof.

                  8.8. Construction.  Wherever any words are used in the Plan in
the  masculine  gender they shall be  construed as though they were also used in
the  feminine  gender in all cases where they would so apply,  and  wherever any
words are used herein in the  singular  form they shall be  construed  as though
they were also used in the plural form in all cases where they would so apply.

                  8.9.  Liability  of the Board.  No member of the Board nor any
employee of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  shall be liable for any act
or action hereunder,  whether of omission or commission,  by any other member of
the Board or  employee  or by any agent to whom  duties in  connection  with the
administration  of the Plan  have been  delegated  or,  except in  circumstances
involving bad faith,  gross negligence or fraud, for anything done or omitted to
be done by himself.

                  8.10.  Costs. The Company shall bear all expenses  incurred in
administering  the Plan,  including  expenses  related to the issuance of Common
Shares upon exercise of Options.

                  8.11.  Severability.   If  any  part  of  the  Plan  shall  be
determined to be invalid or void in any respect,  such  determination  shall not
affect, impair, invalidate or nullify the remaining provisions of the Plan which
shall continue in full force and effect.

                  8.12.    Successors.  The Plan shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company.

                  8.13.    Headings.  Article and section headings  contained in
the Plan are included for convenience  only and are not to be used in construing
or interpreting the Plan.

Effective Date.

                  9.2.  Termination  Date.  Unless sooner  terminated,  the Plan
shall terminate ten years after the Effective Date and no Options may be granted

date.

                              SHARE OPTION CONTRACT
                                                           Option No. 5 - ______


                  This SHARE OPTION CONTRACT  ("Contract") is entered into as of

called the "Company").

                  WHEREAS,  Participant is an employee,  consultant, or director
of the Company or its subsidiaries;

                  WHEREAS, the grant of this Contract to the Participant and the
execution hereof has been duly authorized pursuant to the terms of the Company's

                  WHEREAS, the grant of this Contract to the Participant and the

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  the parties hereto,  in consideration of the
mutual covenants  contained  herein and other good and valuable  considerations,
agree as follows:

                  1. Grant. The Company hereby grants Participant an option (the
"Options")  pursuant to the Plan to purchase _____ common shares,  no par value,
of the Company ("Option  Shares"),  at a price of ______ Dollars and _____ Cents

Option  Shares  purchased  hereunder  to be delivered  to the  Participant  upon
payment of the  aggregate  Option Price in full,  all subject,  however,  to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and set forth in the Plan.

                  2.       Vesting.

                  (a) The Options shall vest and become fully  exercisable as to
         the Option Shares upon all of the following conditions being met:

                           (i)  [the  Company  shall  have  sales  of  at  least
                  $20,000,000  in any 12- month period  subsequent  to the Grant
                  Date;] 

                  [Flightways Manufacturing,  Inc. shall have actual sales of at
                  least  $5,000,000 to third party  customers,  whether  shipped

                  Date;]

                           (ii)  the  condition  set  forth  in  (i)  must  have
                  occurred if at all within two years from the Grant Date; and

<PAGE>

                           (iii) the  options  shall vest as to 50% of the total
                  number of Option Shares, or _____ shares, on the last business
                  day prior to the first  anniversary  of the Grant  Date if the
                  Participant  is still an [employee]  [consultant]  [director],
                  and as to the  remaining  50% of the  total  number  of Option
                  Shares,  or ______  shares,  on the last business day prior to
                  the second anniversary of the Grant Date if the Participant is
                  still an [employee] [consultant] [director].

                  (b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Options that have
         not otherwise  terminated  pursuant to the terms of this Contract shall
         become fully vested on the date of such Change of Control. For purposes
         of this Contract,  "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence of any
         one of the following:

                  (i)   the Company enters  into an agreement or reorganization,
         merger or  consolidation  pursuant  to which the  Company  is  not  the
         surviving corporation;

                  (ii)  the Company sells substantially all of its assets;

                  (iii) in excess of 75% of the  outstanding  securities  of the
         Company are acquired,  in one transaction or a series of  transactions,
         by a single purchaser or group of related purchasers; or

                  (iv) in excess  of 50% of the  outstanding  securities  of the
         Company are acquired in one transaction or a series of transactions, by
         a single  purchaser or group of related  purchasers,  and the Company's
         Board of  Directors,  within 90 days before or after such  acquisition,
         deems such acquisition to be a "Change of Control" for purposes of this
         Contract.

                  3. Term. The term in which the Options are  exercisable  shall
commence  upon  the  vesting  of the  Options  and  shall  expire  on the  fifth
anniversary of the Grant Date. The  Participant  may exercise the Options at any
time  during  such  period.  If  the  Participant's   [employment]  [consulting]
[directorship]  with  the  Company  or its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  either
voluntarily by the Participant or for cause by the Company or its  subsidiaries,
any  Option  held by  such  Participant  on the  date  of  such  termination  of
[employment]  [consulting]  [directorship] will terminate thirty (30) days after
such date of termination, or on the expiration of the stated term of such Option
if earlier, and may not be exercised thereafter.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, the following shall constitute
"cause":

                  (i)  Participant  shall have committed an  intentional  act or
         acts  of  fraud,  embezzlement  or  theft  constituting  a  felony  and
         resulting  or intended  to result  directly  or  indirectly  in gain or
         personal  enrichment  for  Participant at the expense of the Company or
         its subsidiaries; or

                                        2
<PAGE>

                  (ii) The  Participant's  intentional  and  willful  refusal to
         perform the duties  associated  with  Participant's  position  with the
         Company or its subsidiaries.

         If the Participant's [employment]  [directorship] [consulting] with the
Company or its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries for
other than  "cause",  Participant  will  retain the Options  granted  under this
Contract  subject to the same vesting  requirements  and exercise  period as set
forth herein.

         In  the  event  of  a   Participant's   termination   of   [employment]
[directorship]  [consulting]  by reason of death,  and provided  Participant has
been an employee,  director or  consultant  for 6 months from the Grant Date and
provided that the  conditions  set forth in 2(a)(i) and (ii) are met, 50% of all
Options held by such Participant shall vest prorata based on the total months of
service  rendered  since the Grant  Date  compared  to 12 months  and 50% of all
Options held by such Participant shall vest prorata based on the total months of
service  rendered  since the Grant  Date  compared  to 24  months.  Options  may
thereafter be exercised by the legal  representative of the Participant's estate
until the  earlier of one year after the date of death or the stated term of the
Option.

                  In the event of a Participant's disability, any Option held by
such  Participant  will  continue  to vest  during  the  period of time that the
disabled   Participant  receives  disability  benefits  from  the  Company,  its
insurance carrier or the state and is not gainfully employed elsewhere. When the
Participant  becomes  totally and permanently  disabled and disability  benefits
cease,  all Options which have not vested shall  immediately  vest in full as to
passage of time conditions  only and may be exercised by the  Participant  until
the  earlier  of one  year  after  such  date or the  satisfactions  of  vesting
conditions  other than the passage of time or the  expiration of the stated term
of such Option.  If the Participant  dies during any such one-year  period,  any
unexercised  Options  shall  be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  previous
paragraph.

                  4.       Exercise Procedure.

                  (a)  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,
         Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving  written notice
         of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be
         purchased and the Option Price  therefor.  The Options may be exercised
         only in multiples of 100 Option  Shares  unless such  exercise is as to
         the remaining balance of the Options.

                  (b)      Payment of the Option Price may be made in one of the
         following ways:

                           (i)      in cash or by check payable to the Company;

                           (ii)  to  the  extent  determined  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors  of the Company in their sole  discretion  in common
                  shares  duly  owned  by the  Participant  (and for  which  the

                           (iii)  to  the  extent  determined  by the  Board  of
                  Directors  of  the  Company  in  their  sole  discretion,   by
                  reduction in the number of common  shares  issuable  upon such
                  exercise, based, in each case, on the fair market value of the
                  common  shares on the last  business day preceding the date of
                  exercise.

                  (c) Upon payment in full of the Option Price and  satisfaction
         of  the  other  conditions   provided   herein,  a  stock   certificate
         representing  the number of common shares to which the  Participant  is
         entitled shall be issued and delivered to the Participant.

                  5. Restricted  Securities.  Participant  acknowledges that the
Options have not been registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable
state  "blue  sky" laws,  and the Option  Shares,  if and when  issued,  will be
"restricted securities" or unregistered  securities.  Participants are acquiring
the Options and will acquire the Option Shares for  investment  purposes and not
with a view towards distribution.  The Company may require each person acquiring
Option  Shares  pursuant to an Option  under this  Contract to  represent to the
Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Option Shares without a
view to distribution thereof.

                  All  certificates  representing  Option Shares delivered under
this Contract shall be subject to stop transfer orders and other restrictions as
the  Company  may  deem  advisable  under  the  rules,   regulations  and  other
requirements  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  any stock exchange or
stock  market  upon which the  Option  Shares  are then  listed or  traded,  any
applicable  Federal or state  securities law, and any applicable  corporate law.
The certificates  representing the Option Shares may include any legend that the
Company deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                  6. Tax Matters.  The Options are intended to be  non-qualified
options under applicable tax laws and regulations.

                  7.  Subsequent  Adjustments.  If  all or  any  portion  of the
Options  shall  be  exercised  subsequent  to  any  share  dividend,   split-up,
recapitalization,  merger,  consolidations,  combination  or exchange of shares,
separation,  reorganization,  or liquidation of the Company  occurring after the
date hereof, as a result of which shares of any class shall be issued in respect
to  outstanding  common  shares of the  Company or such  common  share  shall be
changed  into the same or a  different  number of shares of the same or  another
class or classes, Participant, upon exercise of the Options, or portion thereof,
shall receive,  for the aggregate  price upon such exercise of the Options,  the
aggregate number and class of shares which, if common share as authorized at the
date  hereof  had been  purchased  or  awarded  at the date  hereof for the same
aggregate  price (on the basis of the per share  Option Price of the Options set
forth  herein) and had not been  disposed  of,  such person or persons  would be
holding,  at the time of such  exercise,  as a result of such  share  dividends,
split-ups, capitalization,  mergers, consolidations,  combinations, or exchanges
of shares, separations, reorganizations, or liquidation; provided, however, that
no fractional  shares shall be issued upon any such exercise and the  aggregated
price paid shall be  appropriately  reduced for any fractional share not issued.

                                        4
<PAGE>

This section does not give Participant any right to receive  additional  options
as a result of the issuance of additional  shares of the Company or the increase
in the authorized capital of the Company.

                  8.  Delivery  of  Option  Shares.  Upon each  exercise  of the
Options,  or portion thereof,  the Company as promptly as practicable shall mail
or deliver to the Participant a share  certificate or certificates  representing
the shares then  purchased or awarded,  and shall pay all stamp taxes payable in
connection  therewith.   The  issuance  of  such  shares  and  delivery  of  the
certificate or  certificates  therefor shall,  however,  be subject to any delay
necessary to complete (a) the listing of such shares on any stock  exchange upon
which  shares of the same  class are then  listed and (b) such  registration  or
qualification  of such shares under any state or Federal law, rule or regulation
as the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable.

                  9.  Transferability.   Transferability   of   Options  granted
hereunder is limited as set forth in the Plan.

                  10. Rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to any Option  Shares to be issued upon  exercise of any portion of
the Options  until the Options,  or portion  thereof,  have been  exercised  and
Option Shares issued to Participant.  No adjustment  shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary,  whether in cash, securities,  or other property) or
distributions  or other  rights for which the  record  date is prior to the date
such Option Shares are issued, except as provided above.

                  11.  Governing  Law.  This  Contract  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

                  12. Tax Liabilities. Participant is responsible for payment of
all state,  local and federal income and any other taxes in connection  with the
issuance  and/or  exercise of the Options.  Participant  hereby  authorizes  the
Company to withhold from the  Participant's  wages or salary for  application to
payment of such taxes any  amounts the Company  deems  necessary  to comply with
Federal,  state or local tax law.  In the  event  Participant  sells any  common
shares issued  pursuant to the Options within one year from the date of exercise
or within two years  after the Date of Grant,  participant  agrees to notify the
Company  promptly  of the amount of taxable  compensation  realized by reason of
such sale for income tax purposes.

                  13. Effect on Retirement.  No Option under this Contract shall
be deemed  compensation for purposes of computing  benefits under any retirement
plan nor affect any  benefits  under any other  benefit plan now or hereafter in
effect  under  which the  availability  or amount of  benefits is related to the
level of compensation.

                  14.  Miscellaneous.  If any  part of this  Contract  shall  be
determined to be invalid or void in any respect,  such  determination  shall not
affect, impair, invalidate, or nullify the remaining provisions of this Contract
which shall continue in full force and effect.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement") is entered into and effective
as of January 1, 1998,  by and between  FIELDS  AIRCRAFT  SPARES,  INC.,  a Utah
corporation ("Fields"),  FIELDS AERO MANAGEMENT,  INC., a California corporation
("FAM")  and FIELDS  AIRCRAFT  SPARES  INCORPORATED,  a  California  corporation
("FASI"),  jointly and severally (Fields, FAM and FASI are hereinafter sometimes
collectively  referred  to as the  "Company")  and PETER  FROHLICH  (hereinafter
"Employee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         In  consideration  of the mutual  covenants and obligations  herein set
forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Engagement;  Nature of Duties.  Company hereby engages Employee, for
the period hereinafter set forth, to serve as and hold the office of Chairman of
the Board of the Company, or another executive office, such as President or CEO,
and to  perform  the  duties of such  office as  provided  in the  Bylaws of the
Company.  Employee  agrees to serve in such  capacity  and to do and perform the
services,  acts, or things necessary to carry out the duties of such office, and
such other duties, not inconsistent with such office and Employee's  position as
an executive  officer of the Company as Company and Employee may mutually agree.
Employee  expressly  acknowledges  and agrees  that such  additional  duties may
include,  but shall not be limited to, serving as an officer and/or  director of
any and all subsidiaries of the Company,  expressly  including,  but not limited
to, FAM or FASI.  Employee  shall  report only to the Board of  Directors of the
Company.  It is  expressly  agreed  and  acknowledged  that  employment  as  the
aforementioned  officer was a material inducement to Employee to enter into this
Agreement,  and  notwithstanding  any  rights  the  Company  may  have at law or
pursuant  to the  Bylaws  of the  Company  to  remove  Employee  from or fail to
maintain Employee in such office,  any such failure or removal shall be deemed a
material  breach of this  Agreement by the  Company,  unless  Employee  shall be
appointed to another  reasonably  acceptable  executive  position,  as described
above.

         2. Term. The term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be for
a period  commencing  the date hereof  through and including  December 31, 2000,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions  hereof.  Company and
Employee further agree that, unless either party shall give written notice,  not
less than sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary  date of this  Agreement,  to
the other party of its  intention  not to so extend the term of this  Agreement,
the term of this Agreement shall be extended,  on each  anniversary date hereof,
for an additional  one (1) year period.  For example,  unless either party shall
have given written notice of its intention not to renew not less than sixty (60)
days  prior to January 1, 1999,  the term of this  Agreement  shall,  as of that
date, be automatically extended to December 31, 2001.

                                        1

         3. Performance of Duties. Employee shall devote such time and attention
to  Employee's  duties as may be  reasonably  necessary to perform and carry out
such duties.  Except for such activities and other business  dealings as do not,
in the  reasonable  judgement  of  Employee,  unreasonably  interfere  with  the
performance  of  Employee's  duties  hereunder,  Employee's  services  shall  be
exclusive to the Company  during the term hereof,  and Employee shall not accept
any other  employment  or  position,  of any nature,  without the prior  written
consent of Company.

                  Employee shall perform his duties  hereunder  primarily in the
Los Angeles,  California and London, England areas, and shall not be required to
perform such duties,  on a regular basis, at any other location.  Employee shall
not be required to relocate without his consent.

         4.       Compensation.

                           (a)      Company  shall  pay to  Employee  an  annual
salary in the amount of One Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($190,000) per year,
payable in periodic  installments in accordance with Company's prevailing policy
for   compensating   personnel,   but  not   less   often   than   semi-monthly.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Employee agrees and acknowledges that this rate
of compensation shall commence as of February 1, 1998.

                           (b)      The Board of Directors of the  Company shall
review the annual  salary of Employee not less often than once each fiscal year.
Company and Employee agree that the foregoing  annual salary shall be increased,
on each anniversary date of this Agreement,  by  an amount equal to the increase
in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban  Consumers)  during the prior twelve (12)
months;  provided,  however,  that in no event shall such  increase be less than
five percent (5%). The Board of Directors of the Company may elect,  in its sole
discretion, and based upon a review of the business and financial performance of
the Company,  overall industry  performance,  and other factors, to increase the
annual salary by a greater amount.

                           (c)      In addition to the foregoing salary, and any
and all other compensation,  profit-sharing participation,  benefits, bonuses or
other amounts due to or receivable by Employee pursuant to this Agreement or any
plan or program maintained by the Company, in the event that the Company has net
income, before taxes, for any fiscal year of the Company during the term hereof,
Employee shall receive an annual bonus, as of the end of such fiscal year, equal
to Three and Three Tenths Percent (3.3%) of such net income before taxes, not to
exceed a total of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00).  Such maximum bonus shall
be increased, on each anniversary date of this Agreement, by an amount equal to
the increase in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers)  during the prior
twelve (12) months;  provided,  however, that in no event shall such increase be
less than five percent (5%). Such net income before taxes shall be determined by
the independent auditors normally retained by the Company for the preparation of
its financial statements, based upon such financial statements. Such bonus shall
be paid, if due, not later than ninety (90) days following the end of the fiscal
year.

                                        2
<PAGE>

                           (d)      In addition to the  foregoing annual  salary
and bonus, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, in its discretion,  have
the  right and  power,  but not the  obligation,  to award  Employee  additional
amounts as a bonus for services performed.  In addition,  Employee shall receive
an additional  amount equal to one (1) week's salary each year at Christmas,  in
accordance with the Company's established practice for all employees.

         5. Expense Reimbursement;  Automobile Allowance.  The services required
of Employee by this  Agreement  shall  include  the  responsibility  and duty of
entertaining business associates and others with whom Company is, desires to be,
or may become  engaged in business or with whom it seeks,  now or in the future,
to develop or expand business relationships, or with whom it is otherwise to the
benefit of the Company to establish or maintain  communications.  It may also be
necessary  for  Employee  to  travel  from time to time on behalf of and for the
benefit of the Company,  or in  furtherance  of the  Company's  business.  It is
Company's  belief that the  performance of the Employee's  duties in such travel
and  entertainment  activities will be productive of the maximum  benefits which
Company expects to derive from Employee's services.  Accordingly,  Company shall
pay, or if Employee shall have paid,  shall  reimburse to Employee,  any and all
expenses  incurred  by him or for his account in the  performance  of his duties
hereunder,  including  all expenses for business,  entertainment,  promotion and
travel by Employee, subject only to Employee providing appropriate documentation
for such  expenses.  It is  expressly  agreed,  in  connection  therewith,  that
Employee  shall  be  provided  or  reimbursed  for  executive-level  travel  and
accommodations.

                  The  services  required of Employee  by this  Agreement  shall
include the  responsibility  and duty of  traveling  to various  locations  on a
regular basis by  automobile,  and Company  acknowledges  that Employee shall be
required to use Employee's personal automobile for such purposes. Company shall,
therefore, pay to Employee a monthly automobile allowance in the amount of Seven
Hundred Dollars ($700),  payable on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month
during the term hereof.

         6. Medical and Life Insurance;  Pension  Benefits.  Employee shall have
the right to participate in any and all group, life,  disability income,  health
or accident  insurance programs  applicable to any personnel of Company,  and in
effect at any time during the period of Employee's employment hereunder, subject
only to any eligibility restrictions of such programs.  Employee shall also have
the right to  participate  in any and all employee  retirement  benefits plan or
profit-sharing plan which Company maintains for its personnel,  and in effect at
any time during the period of Employee's employment  hereunder,  subject only to
any  eligibility  restrictions  of such plans. In the event that, as a result of
any  eligibility  restrictions  of any such  plans or  programs,  at  Employee's
option,  provide  Employee  with  equivalent  benefits  to those  which would be
available to Employee under such plan or program, at the Company's sole cost and
expense.

                                        3
<PAGE>

         7. Vacation.  During each year of the term,  Employee shall be entitled
to a vacation of not less than four (4) weeks, without deduction of salary. Such
vacation shall be taken at such time or times during the applicable  year as may
be mutually  determined by Employee and Company.  Any additional vacation period
shall be determined by Company consistent with the general customs and practices
of the Company  applicable  to its  personnel.  In the event that, in any fiscal
year,  Employee  utilizes less than four (4) weeks of vacation,  any accrued and
unused  vacation shall carry over to the following  year, and may be used during
such year; provided, however, that Employee shall not be permitted to carry over
more than four (4) weeks of vacation to any year,  and any vacation  accrued and
unused  in  excess  of four (4)  weeks at the end of any  fiscal  year  shall be
forfeited. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any reason,
Employee shall be compensated for all accrued and unused vacation.

         8.  Termination.  This  Agreement may be terminated by Company only for
cause. As used herein, "cause" shall mean:

                           (a) Employee's willful  breach of  Employee's  duties
hereunder,  which  breach  remains  uncured for thirty  (30) days after  written
notice of such breach to Employee; or

                           (b) Employee's conviction of a felony involving moral
turpitude.

                  In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon
Employee's death or permanent disability. As used herein, "permanent disability"
shall mean Employee's complete inability to perform Employee's duties hereunder,
as determined by Employee's  physician,  which inability continues for more than
Ninety (90) consecutive  days, or for more than One Hundred Twenty (120) days in
any one fiscal year.

                  In the event that this  Agreement is terminated by the Company
for any reason  other  than for cause as defined  above,  the  Company  shall be
obligated to pay Employee an amount equal to the greater of (i) two (2) years of
annual salary at Employee's  then-current  rate of compensation,  or (ii) annual
salary  at  Employee's  then-current  rate for the then  remaining  term of this
Agreement, as severance.  In connection therewith,  the Company expressly agrees
and  acknowledges  that  Employee  shall have no duty or  obligation  to seek or
accept other employment, or otherwise mitigate Employee's damages resulting from
such termination. The Company further agrees and acknowledges that, in the event
Employee does obtain other  employment  following the Company's  termination  of
this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to any set off or reduction in
the amounts payable to Employee  hereunder as a result of any compensation  paid
to Employee with respect to such new employment.

                  In the event of any  termination  of this Agreement due to the
death of Employee, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate an amount equal to
one (1) year of annual salary at Employee's  then-current  rate of compensation,
as a death benefit. In the event of any termination of this Agreement due to the

                                        4
<PAGE>

permanent  disability  of Employee,  the Company shall pay to Employee an amount
equal  to one (1) year of  annual  salary  at  Employee's  then-current  rate of
compensation,  less the amount of any disability  income benefits  actually paid
during such year pursuant to any Company-maintained disability income policy.

         9.  Indemnification.  The  Company  shall  indemnify,  defend  and hold
Employee  harmless  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  demands,  suits,
obligations,  liabilities,  actions, losses, costs, expenses, fines or penalties
which may now or  hereafter  be  pending,  threatened  or  commenced  against or
incurred  by  Employee  relating  to or in any  way  resulting  from  Employee's
performance of his duties hereunder, or any action or failure to act of Employee
in connection with such duties.  Employee's rights under this Section 9 shall be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other  rights of Employee  under
applicable law or any agreement with the Company regarding indemnification.

         10. Notices.  Any and all notices which are required or permitted to be
given by any party to any the other party  hereunder  shall be given in writing,
sent by  registered  or certified  mail,  electronic  communications  (including
telegram or facsimile)  followed by a confirmation  letter sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid,  return receipt requested, or delivered by hand
or messenger service, with the charges therefor prepaid, addressed to such party
as follows:

There  are no  warranties,  representations  or  other  agreements  between  the
parties,  in connection  with the subject matter hereof,  except as specifically
set forth herein.  No  supplement,  modification,  waiver or termination of this
Agreement  shall be binding  unless  made in writing  and  executed by the party

waived  except by an express  written  instrument  to such effect  signed by the
party to whom the benefit of such term,  condition  or provision  runs.  No such
waiver of any term,  condition or provision of this Agreement  shall be deemed a

unless  otherwise  expressly  provided.  No  failure or delay on the part of any
party in exercising any right,  power or privilege under any term,  condition or

competent  jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining terms, conditions and
provisions  contained  herein  shall  not in any  way be  affected  or  impaired
thereby,  and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed as if such term,
condition  or  provision,  to the extent the same shall have been held  invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable,  had never been contained herein,  provided that such
interpretation  and construction is consistent with the intent of the parties as
expressed in this Agreement.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement") is entered into and effective
as of January 1, 1998,  by and between  FIELDS  AIRCRAFT  SPARES,  INC.,  a Utah
corporation ("Fields"),  FIELDS AERO MANAGEMENT,  INC., a California corporation
("FAM")  and FIELDS  AIRCRAFT  SPARES  INCORPORATED,  a  California  corporation
("FASI"),  jointly and severally (Fields, FAM and FASI are hereinafter sometimes
collectively  referred  to  as  the  "Company")  and  ALAN  FIELDS  (hereinafter
"Employee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         In  consideration  of the mutual  covenants and obligations  herein set
forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Engagement;  Nature of Duties.  Company hereby engages Employee, for
the  period  hereinafter  set  forth,  to serve as and hold the  office of Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, or another executive office, such as President
or Chairman  of the Board,  and to perform the duties of such office as provided
in the Bylaws of the Company.  Employee  agrees to serve in such capacity and to
do and perform the services,  acts, or things  necessary to carry out the duties
of such office,  and such other duties,  not  inconsistent  with such office and
Employee's  position  as an  executive  officer of the  Company  as Company  and
Employee may mutually agree.  Employee  expressly  acknowledges  and agrees that
such additional  duties may include,  but shall not be limited to, serving as an
officer and/or director of any and all  subsidiaries  of the Company,  expressly
including, but not limited to, Fields Aircraft Spares Incorporated, a California
corporation,  the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Employee shall report
only to the Board of  Directors  of the  Company.  It is  expressly  agreed  and
acknowledged  that  employment  as the  aforementioned  officer  was a  material
inducement to Employee to enter into this  Agreement,  and  notwithstanding  any
rights the  Company  may have at law or pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company to
remove  Employee  from or fail to  maintain  Employee in such  office,  any such
failure or removal  shall be deemed a material  breach of this  Agreement by the
Company,  unless  Employee shall be appointed to another  reasonably  acceptable
executive position, as described above.

         2. Term. The term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be for
a period  commencing  the date hereof  through and including  December 31, 2000,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions  hereof.  Company and
Employee further agree that, unless either party shall give written notice,  not
less than sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary  date of this  Agreement,  to
the other party of its  intention  not to so extend the term of this  Agreement,
the term of this Agreement shall be extended,  on each  anniversary date hereof,
for an additional  one (1) year period.  For example,  unless either party shall
have given written notice of its intention not to renew not less than sixty (60)
days  prior to January 1, 1999,  the term of this  Agreement  shall,  as of that
date, be automatically extended to December 31, 2001.

                                        1
<PAGE>

         3. Performance of Duties. Employee shall devote such time and attention
to  Employee's  duties as may be  reasonably  necessary to perform and carry out
such duties.  Except for such activities and other business  dealings as do not,
in the  reasonable  judgement  of  Employee,  unreasonably  interfere  with  the
performance  of  Employee's  duties  hereunder,  Employee's  services  shall  be
exclusive to the Company  during the term hereof,  and Employee shall not accept
any other  employment  or  position,  of any nature,  without the prior  written
consent of Company.

                  Employee shall perform his duties  hereunder  primarily in the
Los Angeles,  California area, and shall not be required to perform such duties,
on a regular  basis,  at any other  location.  Employee shall not be required to
relocate without his consent.

         4.       Compensation.

                           (a)      Company  shall  pay  to Employee  an  annual
salary in the amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars  ($240,000) per year,
payable in periodic  installments in accordance with Company's prevailing policy
for   compensating   personnel,   but  not   less   often   than   semi-monthly.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Employee agrees and acknowledges that this rate
of compensation shall commence as of February 1, 1998.

                           (b)      The Board of Directors  of the Company shall
review the annual  salary of Employee not less often than once each fiscal year.
Company and Employee agree that the foregoing  annual salary shall be increased,
on each anniversary date of this Agreement,  by an amount equal to the increase
in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban  Consumers)  during the prior twelve (12)
months;  provided,  however,  that in no event shall such  increase be less than
five percent (5%). The Board of Directors of the Company may elect,  in its sole
discretion, and based upon a review of the business and financial performance of
the Company,  overall industry  performance,  and other factors, to increase the
annual salary by a greater amount.

                           (c)      In addition to the foregoing salary, and any
and all other compensation,  profit-sharing participation,  benefits, bonuses or
other amounts due to or receivable by Employee pursuant to this Agreement or any
plan or program maintained by the Company, in the event that the Company has net
income, before taxes, for any fiscal year of the Company during the term hereof,
Employee shall receive an annual bonus, as of the end of such fiscal year, equal
to Three and Three Tenths Percent (3.3%) of such net income before taxes, not to
exceed a total of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00).  Such maximum bonus shall
be increased, on each anniversary date of this Agreement, by an amount equal to
the increase in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers)  during the prior
twelve (12) months;  provided,  however, that in no event shall such increase be
less than five percent (5%). Such net income before taxes shall be determined by
the independent auditors normally retained by the Company for the preparation of
its financial statements, based upon such financial statements. Such bonus shall
be paid, if due, not later than ninety (90) days following the end of the fiscal
year.

                                        2
<PAGE>

                           (d)      In addition to the foregoing  annual  salary
and bonus, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, in its discretion,  have
the  right and  power,  but not the  obligation,  to award  Employee  additional
amounts as a bonus for services performed.  In addition,  Employee shall receive
an additional  amount equal to one (1) week's salary each year at Christmas,  in
accordance with the Company's established practice for all employees.

         5. Expense Reimbursement; Automobile. The services required of Employee
by this  Agreement  shall include the  responsibility  and duty of  entertaining
business  associates  and others  with whom  Company  is,  desires to be, or may
become  engaged in  business  or with whom it seeks,  now or in the  future,  to
develop or expand  business  relationships,  or with whom it is otherwise to the
benefit of the Company to establish or maintain  communications.  It may also be
necessary  for  Employee  to  travel  from time to time on behalf of and for the
benefit of the Company,  or in  furtherance  of the  Company's  business.  It is
Company's  belief that the  performance of the Employee's  duties in such travel
and  entertainment  activities will be productive of the maximum  benefits which
Company expects to derive from Employee's services.  Accordingly,  Company shall
pay, or if Employee shall have paid,  shall  reimburse to Employee,  any and all
expenses  incurred  by him or for his account in the  performance  of his duties
hereunder,  including  all expenses for business,  entertainment,  promotion and
travel by Employee, subject only to Employee providing appropriate documentation
for such  expenses.  It is  expressly  agreed,  in  connection  therewith,  that
Employee  shall  be  provided  or  reimbursed  for  executive-level  travel  and
accommodations.

                  The  services  required of Employee  by this  Agreement  shall
include the  responsibility  and duty of  traveling  to various  locations  on a
regular  basis by  automobile,  and Company  acknowledges  that  Employee  shall
require  the use of a suitable  automobile  for such  purposes.  Company  shall,
therefore,  obtain and provide to Employee a luxury automobile,  such as a Lexus
LS400 or comparable  automobile,  for use by Employee in  performing  his duties
hereunder.  The  Company  shall pay  directly,  or, if paid by  Employee,  shall
promptly  reimburse  Employee  for, all costs of ownership and operation of such
automobile.

         6. Medical and Life Insurance;  Pension  Benefits.  Employee shall have
the right to participate in any and all group, life,  disability income,  health
or accident  insurance programs  applicable to any personnel of Company,  and in
effect at any time during the period of Employee's employment hereunder, subject
only to any eligibility restrictions of such programs.  Employee shall also have
the right to  participate  in any and all employee  retirement  benefits plan or
profit-sharing plan which Company maintains for its personnel,  and in effect at
any time during the period of Employee's employment  hereunder,  subject only to
any  eligibility  restrictions  of such plans. In the event that, as a result of
any  eligibility  restrictions  of any such  plans or  programs,  at  Employee's
option,  provide  Employee  with  equivalent  benefits  to those  which would be
available to Employee under such plan or program, at the Company's sole cost and
expense.

                                        3
<PAGE>

         7. Vacation.  During each year of the term,  Employee shall be entitled
to a vacation of not less than four (4) weeks, without deduction of salary. Such
vacation shall be taken at such time or times during the applicable  year as may
be mutually  determined by Employee and Company.  Any additional vacation period
shall be determined by Company consistent with the general customs and practices
of the Company  applicable  to its  personnel.  In the event that, in any fiscal
year,  Employee  utilizes less than four (4) weeks of vacation,  any accrued and
unused  vacation shall carry over to the following  year, and may be used during
such year; provided, however, that Employee shall not be permitted to carry over
more than four (4) weeks of vacation to any year,  and any vacation  accrued and
unused  in  excess  of four (4)  weeks at the end of any  fiscal  year  shall be
forfeited. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any reason,
Employee shall be compensated for all accrued and unused vacation.

         8.  Termination.  This  Agreement may be terminated by Company only for
cause. As used herein, "cause" shall mean:

                           (a) Employee's  willful breach  of Employee's  duties
hereunder,  which  breach  remains  uncured for thirty  (30) days after  written
notice of such breach to Employee; or

                           (b) Employee's conviction of a felony involving moral
turpitude.

                  In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon
Employee's death or permanent disability. As used herein, "permanent disability"
shall mean Employee's complete inability to perform Employee's duties hereunder,
as determined by Employee's  physician,  which inability continues for more than
Ninety (90) consecutive  days, or for more than One Hundred Twenty (120) days in
any one fiscal year.

                  In the event that this  Agreement is terminated by the Company
for any reason  other  than for cause as defined  above,  the  Company  shall be
obligated to pay Employee an amount equal to the greater of (i) two (2) years of
annual salary at Employee's  then-current  rate of compensation,  or (ii) annual
salary  at  Employee's  then-current  rate for the then  remaining  term of this
Agreement, as severance.  In connection therewith,  the Company expressly agrees
and  acknowledges  that  Employee  shall have no duty or  obligation  to seek or
accept other employment, or otherwise mitigate Employee's damages resulting from
such termination. The Company further agrees and acknowledges that, in the event
Employee does obtain other  employment  following the Company's  termination  of
this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to any set off or reduction in
the amounts payable to Employee  hereunder as a result of any compensation  paid
to Employee with respect to such new employment.

                  In the event of any  termination  of this Agreement due to the
death of Employee, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate an amount equal to
one (1) year of annual salary at Employee's  then-current  rate of compensation,
as a death benefit. In the event of any termination of this Agreement due to the

                                        4
<PAGE>

permanent  disability  of Employee,  the Company shall pay to Employee an amount
equal  to one (1) year of  annual  salary  at  Employee's  then-current  rate of
compensation,  less the amount of any disability  income benefits  actually paid
during such year pursuant to any Company-maintained disability income policy.

         9.  Indemnification.  The  Company  shall  indemnify,  defend  and hold
Employee  harmless  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  demands,  suits,
obligations,  liabilities,  actions, losses, costs, expenses, fines or penalties
which may now or  hereafter  be  pending,  threatened  or  commenced  against or
incurred  by  Employee  relating  to or in any  way  resulting  from  Employee's
performance of his duties hereunder, or any action or failure to act of Employee
in connection with such duties.  Employee's rights under this Section 9 shall be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other  rights of Employee  under
applicable law or any agreement with the Company regarding indemnification.

         10. Notices.  Any and all notices which are required or permitted to be
given by any party to any the other party  hereunder  shall be given in writing,
sent by  registered  or certified  mail,  electronic  communications  (including
telegram or facsimile)  followed by a confirmation  letter sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid,  return receipt requested, or delivered by hand
or messenger service, with the charges therefor prepaid, addressed to such party
as follows:

There  are no  warranties,  representations  or  other  agreements  between  the
parties,  in connection  with the subject matter hereof,  except as specifically
set forth herein.  No  supplement,  modification,  waiver or termination of this
Agreement  shall be binding  unless  made in writing  and  executed by the party
thereto to be bound.

         12. Waivers.  No term,  condition or provision of this Agreement may be
waived  except by an express  written  instrument  to such effect  signed by the
party to whom the benefit of such term,  condition  or provision  runs.  No such
waiver of any term,  condition or provision of this Agreement  shall be deemed a
waiver of any other term, condition or provision, irrespective of similarity, or

unless  otherwise  expressly  provided.  No  failure or delay on the part of any
party in exercising any right,  power or privilege under any term,  condition or
provision  of this  Agreement  shall  operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall a
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.

         13.   Survival  of  Agreement   Provisions.   All  terms,   conditions,
provisions,  covenants,  agreements,  representations and warranties made herein

hereunder, and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         14. Severability. In the event any one or more of the terms, conditions
or provisions  contained in this  Agreement  should be found in a final award or
judgement  rendered  by any  court or  arbitrator  or panel  of  arbitrators  of
competent  jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining terms, conditions and
provisions  contained  herein  shall  not in any  way be  affected  or  impaired
thereby,  and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed as if such term,
condition  or  provision,  to the extent the same shall have been held  invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable,  had never been contained herein,  provided that such
interpretation  and construction is consistent with the intent of the parties as
expressed in this Agreement.

         15.  Headings.  The headings of the Articles and Sections  contained in
this Agreement are included herein for reference  purposes only,  solely for the

condition or provision hereof.

         16.  Applicable  Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding the fact
that one or more  counterparts  hereof may be executed  outside of the state, or
one or more of the  obligations  of the parties  hereunder  are to be  performed
outside of the state.

         17.  Attorneys'  Fees.  In the event  that any party to this  Agreement
shall commence any suit, action, arbitration or other proceeding to interpret

                                        6
<PAGE>

this Agreement,  or determine or enforce any right or obligation created hereby,
including but not limited to any action for  rescission of this Agreement or for
a  determination  that this  Agreement  is void or  ineffective  ab initio,  the
prevailing  party in such action shall  recover such party's  costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith, including attorney's fees and costs of appeal,

proceeding,  in addition to any and all other relief awarded to such  prevailing
party,  include in such  judgement or award such  party's  costs and expenses as
provided in this Section 17.

         18. Execution and  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of  counterparts,  each of which when so executed and delivered  shall be
deemed an original,  and such  counterparts  together shall  constitute only one

remedies  provided for in this Agreement shall be construed as being  cumulative
and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of the others or of any right

         21. Binding  Effect.  Subject to the  restrictions in Section 27 hereof
respecting  assignments,  this  Agreement  shall  inure to the benefit of and be
binding  upon  all  of  the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective  executors,

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement") is entered into and effective
as of January 1, 1998,  by and between  FIELDS  AIRCRAFT  SPARES,  INC.,  a Utah
corporation ("Fields"),  FIELDS AERO MANAGEMENT,  INC., a California corporation
("FAM")  and FIELDS  AIRCRAFT  SPARES  INCORPORATED,  a  California  corporation
("FASI"),  jointly and severally (Fields, FAM and FASI are hereinafter sometimes
collectively  referred to as the "Company") and LAWRENCE J. TROYNA  (hereinafter
"Employee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         In  consideration  of the mutual  covenants and obligations  herein set
forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Engagement;  Nature of Duties.  Company hereby engages Employee, for
the period  hereinafter  set forth, to serve as and hold the office of Secretary
and Chief Financial Officer of the Company,  or another executive office, and to
perform  the duties of such  office as  provided  in the Bylaws of the  Company.
Employee  agrees to serve in such  capacity and to do and perform the  services,
acts, or things necessary to carry out the duties of such office, and such other
duties,  not  inconsistent  with  such  office  and  Employee's  position  as an
executive  officer of the Company as Company and Employee  may  mutually  agree.
Employee  expressly  acknowledges  and agrees  that such  additional  duties may
include,  but shall not be limited to, serving as an officer and/or  director of
any and all subsidiaries of the Company,  expressly  including,  but not limited
to,  Fields  Aircraft  Spares  Incorporated,   a  California  corporation,   the
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Employee shall report only to the Board
of Directors  of the  Company.  It is  expressly  agreed and  acknowledged  that
employment as the aforementioned  officer was a material  inducement to Employee
to enter into this  Agreement,  and  notwithstanding  any rights the Company may
have at law or pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company to remove  Employee from or
fail to maintain  Employee in such office,  any such failure or removal shall be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, unless Employee shall
be appointed to another reasonably  acceptable executive position,  as described
above.

         2. Term. The term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be for
a period  commencing  the date hereof  through and including  December 31, 2000,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions  hereof.  Company and
Employee further agree that, unless either party shall give written notice,  not
less than sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary  date of this  Agreement,  to
the other party of its  intention  not to so extend the term of this  Agreement,
the term of this Agreement shall be extended,  on each  anniversary date hereof,
for an additional  one (1) year period.  For example,  unless either party shall
have given written notice of its intention not to renew not less than sixty (60)
days  prior to January 1, 1999,  the term of this  Agreement  shall,  as of that
date, be automatically extended to December 31, 2001.

                                        1

         3. Performance of Duties. Employee shall devote such time and attention
to  Employee's  duties as may be  reasonably  necessary to perform and carry out
such duties.  Except for such activities and other business  dealings as do not,
in the  reasonable  judgement  of  Employee,  unreasonably  interfere  with  the
performance  of  Employee's  duties  hereunder,  Employee's  services  shall  be
exclusive to the Company  during the term hereof,  and Employee shall not accept
any other  employment  or  position,  of any nature,  without the prior  written
consent of Company.

                  Employee shall perform his duties  hereunder  primarily in the
Los Angeles,  California and London, England areas, and shall not be required to
perform such duties,  on a regular basis, at any other location.  Employee shall
not be required to relocate without his consent.

         4.       Compensation.

                           (a)      Company shall  pay  to  Employee  an  annual
salary in the amount of One Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($190,000) per year,
payable in periodic  installments in accordance with Company's prevailing policy
for   compensating   personnel,   but  not   less   often   than   semi-monthly.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Employee agrees and acknowledges that this rate
of compensation shall commence as of February 1, 1998.

                           (b)      The Board of Directors  of the Company shall
review the annual  salary of Employee not less often than once each fiscal year.
Company and Employee agree that the foregoing  annual salary shall be increased,
on each anniversary date of this Agreement,  by an amount equal to the increase
in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban  Consumers)  during the prior twelve (12)
months;  provided,  however,  that in no event shall such  increase be less than
five percent (5%). The Board of Directors of the Company may elect,  in its sole
discretion, and based upon a review of the business and financial performance of
the Company,  overall industry  performance,  and other factors, to increase the
annual salary by a greater amount.

                           (c)      In addition to the foregoing salary, and any
and all other compensation,  profit-sharing participation,  benefits, bonuses or
other amounts due to or receivable by Employee pursuant to this Agreement or any
plan or program maintained by the Company, in the event that the Company has net
income, before taxes, for any fiscal year of the Company during the term hereof,
Employee shall receive an annual bonus, as of the end of such fiscal year, equal
to Three and Three Tenths Percent (3.3%) of such net income before taxes, not to
exceed a total of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00).  Such maximum bonus shall
be increased, on each anniversary date of this Agreement, by an amount equal to
the increase in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers)  during the prior
twelve (12) months;  provided,  however, that in no event shall such increase be
less than five percent (5%). Such net income before taxes shall be determined by
the independent auditors normally retained by the Company for the preparation of
its financial statements, based upon such financial statements. Such bonus shall
be paid, if due, not later than ninety (90) days following the end of the fiscal
year.

                                        2
<PAGE>

                           (d)      In addition to the  foregoing  annual salary
and bonus, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, in its discretion,  have
the  right and  power,  but not the  obligation,  to award  Employee  additional
amounts as a bonus for services performed.  In addition,  Employee shall receive
an additional  amount equal to one (1) week's salary each year at Christmas,  in
accordance with the Company's established practice for all employees.

         5. Expense Reimbursement;  Automobile Allowance.  The services required
of Employee by this  Agreement  shall  include  the  responsibility  and duty of
entertaining business associates and others with whom Company is, desires to be,
or may become  engaged in business or with whom it seeks,  now or in the future,
to develop or expand business relationships, or with whom it is otherwise to the
benefit of the Company to establish or maintain  communications.  It may also be
necessary  for  Employee  to  travel  from time to time on behalf of and for the
benefit of the Company,  or in  furtherance  of the  Company's  business.  It is
Company's  belief that the  performance of the Employee's  duties in such travel
and  entertainment  activities will be productive of the maximum  benefits which
Company expects to derive from Employee's services.  Accordingly,  Company shall
pay, or if Employee shall have paid,  shall  reimburse to Employee,  any and all
expenses  incurred  by him or for his account in the  performance  of his duties
hereunder,  including  all expenses for business,  entertainment,  promotion and
travel by Employee, subject only to Employee providing appropriate documentation
for such  expenses.  It is  expressly  agreed,  in  connection  therewith,  that
Employee  shall  be  provided  or  reimbursed  for  executive-level  travel  and
accommodations.

                  The  services  required of Employee  by this  Agreement  shall
include the  responsibility  and duty of  traveling  to various  locations  on a
regular basis by  automobile,  and Company  acknowledges  that Employee shall be
required to use Employee's personal automobile for such purposes. Company shall,
therefore, pay to Employee a monthly automobile allowance in the amount of Seven
Hundred Dollars ($700),  payable on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month
during the term hereof.

         6. Medical and Life Insurance;  Pension  Benefits.  Employee shall have
the right to participate in any and all group, life,  disability income,  health
or accident  insurance programs  applicable to any personnel of Company,  and in
effect at any time during the period of Employee's employment hereunder, subject
only to any eligibility restrictions of such programs.  Employee shall also have
the right to  participate  in any and all employee  retirement  benefits plan or
profit-sharing plan which Company maintains for its personnel,  and in effect at
any time during the period of Employee's employment  hereunder,  subject only to
any  eligibility  restrictions  of such plans. In the event that, as a result of
any  eligibility  restrictions  of any such  plans or  programs,  at  Employee's
option,  provide  Employee  with  equivalent  benefits  to those  which would be
available to Employee under such plan or program, at the Company's sole cost and
expense.

                                        3
<PAGE>

         7. Vacation.  During each year of the term,  Employee shall be entitled
to a vacation of not less than four (4) weeks, without deduction of salary. Such
vacation shall be taken at such time or times during the applicable  year as may
be mutually  determined by Employee and Company.  Any additional vacation period
shall be determined by Company consistent with the general customs and practices
of the Company  applicable  to its  personnel.  In the event that, in any fiscal
year,  Employee  utilizes less than four (4) weeks of vacation,  any accrued and
unused  vacation shall carry over to the following  year, and may be used during
such year; provided, however, that Employee shall not be permitted to carry over
more than four (4) weeks of vacation to any year,  and any vacation  accrued and
unused  in  excess  of four (4)  weeks at the end of any  fiscal  year  shall be
forfeited. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any reason,
Employee shall be compensated for all accrued and unused vacation.

         8.  Termination.  This  Agreement may be terminated by Company only for
cause. As used herein, "cause" shall mean:

                           (a) Employee's  willful breach  of Employee's  duties
hereunder,  which  breach  remains  uncured for thirty  (30) days after  written
notice of such breach to Employee; or

                           (b) Employee's conviction of a felony involving moral
turpitude.

                  In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon
Employee's death or permanent disability. As used herein, "permanent disability"
shall mean Employee's complete inability to perform Employee's duties hereunder,
as determined by Employee's  physician,  which inability continues for more than
Ninety (90) consecutive  days, or for more than One Hundred Twenty (120) days in
any one fiscal year.

                  In the event that this  Agreement is terminated by the Company
for any reason  other  than for cause as defined  above,  the  Company  shall be
obligated to pay Employee an amount equal to the greater of (i) two (2) years of
annual salary at Employee's  then-current  rate of compensation,  or (ii) annual
salary  at  Employee's  then-current  rate for the then  remaining  term of this
Agreement, as severance.  In connection therewith,  the Company expressly agrees
and  acknowledges  that  Employee  shall have no duty or  obligation  to seek or
accept other employment, or otherwise mitigate Employee's damages resulting from
such termination. The Company further agrees and acknowledges that, in the event
Employee does obtain other  employment  following the Company's  termination  of
this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to any set off or reduction in
the amounts payable to Employee  hereunder as a result of any compensation  paid
to Employee with respect to such new employment.

                  In the event of any  termination  of this Agreement due to the
death of Employee, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate an amount equal to
one (1) year of annual salary at Employee's  then-current  rate of compensation,
as a death benefit. In the event of any termination of this Agreement due to the

                                        4
<PAGE>

permanent  disability  of Employee,  the Company shall pay to Employee an amount
equal  to one (1) year of  annual  salary  at  Employee's  then-current  rate of
compensation,  less the amount of any disability  income benefits  actually paid
during such year pursuant to any Company-maintained disability income policy.

         9.  Indemnification.  The  Company  shall  indemnify,  defend  and hold
Employee  harmless  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  demands,  suits,
obligations,  liabilities,  actions, losses, costs, expenses, fines or penalties
which may now or  hereafter  be  pending,  threatened  or  commenced  against or
incurred  by  Employee  relating  to or in any  way  resulting  from  Employee's
performance of his duties hereunder, or any action or failure to act of Employee
in connection with such duties.  Employee's rights under this Section 9 shall be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other  rights of Employee  under
applicable law or any agreement with the Company regarding indemnification.

         10. Notices.  Any and all notices which are required or permitted to be
given by any party to any the other party  hereunder  shall be given in writing,
sent by  registered  or certified  mail,  electronic  communications  (including
telegram or facsimile)  followed by a confirmation  letter sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid,  return receipt requested, or delivered by hand
or messenger service, with the charges therefor prepaid, addressed to such party
as follows:

There  are no  warranties,  representations  or  other  agreements  between  the
parties,  in connection  with the subject matter hereof,  except as specifically
set forth herein.  No  supplement,  modification,  waiver or termination of this
Agreement  shall be binding  unless  made in writing  and  executed by the party
thereto to be bound.

         12. Waivers.  No term,  condition or provision of this Agreement may be
waived  except by an express  written  instrument  to such effect  signed by the
party to whom the benefit of such term,  condition  or provision  runs.  No such
waiver of any term,  condition or provision of this Agreement  shall be deemed a
waiver of any other term, condition or provision, irrespective of similarity, or
shall constitute a continuing  waiver of the same term,  condition or provision,
unless  otherwise  expressly  provided.  No  failure or delay on the part of any
party in exercising any right,  power or privilege under any term,  condition or
provision  of this  Agreement  shall  operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall a

other right, power or privilege.

         13.   Survival  of  Agreement   Provisions.   All  terms,   conditions,
provisions,  covenants,  agreements,  representations and warranties made herein
shall  survive  the  performance  by the  parties  hereto  of their  obligations
hereunder, and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         14. Severability. In the event any one or more of the terms, conditions
or provisions  contained in this  Agreement  should be found in a final award or
judgement  rendered  by any  court or  arbitrator  or panel  of  arbitrators  of
competent  jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining terms, conditions and
provisions  contained  herein  shall  not in any  way be  affected  or  impaired
thereby,  and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed as if such term,
condition  or  provision,  to the extent the same shall have been held  invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable,  had never been contained herein,  provided that such
interpretation  and construction is consistent with the intent of the parties as
expressed in this Agreement.

         15.  Headings.  The headings of the Articles and Sections  contained in
this Agreement are included herein for reference  purposes only,  solely for the
convenience of the parties hereto,  and shall not in any way be deemed to affect
the meaning,  interpretation  or  applicability  of this  Agreement or any term,
condition or provision hereof.

         16.  Applicable  Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding the fact
that one or more  counterparts  hereof may be executed  outside of the state, or
one or more of the  obligations  of the parties  hereunder  are to be  performed
outside of the state.

         17.  Attorneys'  Fees.  In the event  that any party to this  Agreement
shall commence any suit, action, arbitration or other proceeding to interpret

                                        6
<PAGE>

this Agreement,  or determine or enforce any right or obligation created hereby,
including but not limited to any action for  rescission of this Agreement or for
a  determination  that this  Agreement  is void or  ineffective  ab initio,  the
prevailing  party in such action shall  recover such party's  costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith, including attorney's fees and costs of appeal,
if any. Any court,  arbitrator or panel of  arbitrators  shall,  in entering any
judgement  or making any award in any such suit,  action,  arbitration  or other
proceeding,  in addition to any and all other relief awarded to such  prevailing
party,  include in such  judgement or award such  party's  costs and expenses as
provided in this Section 17.

         18. Execution and  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of  counterparts,  each of which when so executed and delivered  shall be
deemed an original,  and such  counterparts  together shall  constitute only one
instrument.  Any or all of such  counterparts  may be executed within or outside
the state of California.  Any one of such  counterparts  shall be sufficient for
the purpose of proving the existence and terms of this  Agreement,  and no party
shall be required to produce an original or all of such  counterparts  in making
such proof.

         19.  Covenant  of Further  Assurances.  All  parties to this  Agreement
shall,  upon  request,  perform any and all acts and execute and deliver any and
all  certificates,  instruments  and other  documents  that may be  necessary or
appropriate to carry out any of the terms,  conditions and provisions  hereof or
to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

         20.  Remedies  Cumulative.  Each  and  all of the  several  rights  and
remedies  provided for in this Agreement shall be construed as being  cumulative
and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of the others or of any right
or remedy  allowed by law or equity,  and pursuit of any one remedy shall not be
deemed to be an election of such remedy, or a waiver of any other remedy.

         21. Binding  Effect.  Subject to the  restrictions in Section 27 hereof
respecting  assignments,  this  Agreement  shall  inure to the benefit of and be
binding  upon  all  of  the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective  executors,
administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

         22. Compliance with Laws.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed  to require the  commission  of any act  contrary to law, and whenever
there is a conflict  between any term,  condition or provision of this Agreement
