                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of AirNet Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  These financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the year ended December 31, 1997 consolidated financial
statements of AirNet Systems, Inc. contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
(File No. 0-28428) for additional disclosures including a summary of the
Company's accounting policies, which have not changed.

The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments 
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of 
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim 
periods.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year 
ending December 31, 1998.

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


2. ACQUISITION TERMINATION CHARGE

On June 17, 1998, the Company announced that it had terminated an agreement to
acquire Q International Courier, Inc. ("Quick").  The Company had incurred
$2,350,000 of costs in conjunction with the planned acquisition, all of which
were expensed upon the termination of the agreement.

4.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company capitalizes costs related to the start-up activities associated with
new business initiatives, such as introduction of the premium products line of
business.  Costs associated with these initiatives, such as personnel costs,
outside services and administrative support services are capitalized as start-up
costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company
capitalized approximately $1,041,000 and $1,938,000, respectively, of such
costs, for a total of $4,686,000 of start-up costs recorded on its balance
sheet, included in other assets, at June 30, 1998. The start-up phase for the
premium products has been completed.  No further costs are expected to be
capitalized related to the products.  

In April 1998, AcSEC issued Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the 
Costs of Start-Up Activities".  This SOP will require all companies to 
write-off, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, any 
previously capitalized start-up costs.  This SOP will be effective for the 
Company in the first quarter of 1999.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". 
Statement No. 131, which will become effective for the Company's 1998 year end
reporting, establishes requirements for reporting information about operating
segments in annual and interim statements.  This statement may require a change
in the Company's financial reporting; however, the extent of this change, if
any, has not been determined.


5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 11, 1998, the Company completed the purchase of Mercury Business
Services, Inc., an express delivery management service located in Boston, for
approximately $2,000,000 and 118,000 AirNet Common Shares.

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


SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to,
information regarding future economic performance and plans and objectives of
the Company's management, are forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. When used in this document, the words "anticipate", "estimate",
"expect", "may", "plan", "project" and similar expressions are intended to be
among statements that identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements
involve risks and uncertainties such as the following, in addition to other
factors not listed, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
any such forward-looking statement:  potential changes by the Federal Aviation
Administration ("FAA"), which could increase the regulation of the Company's
business or the Federal Reserve, which could change the competitive environment
of transporting canceled checks; adverse weather conditions; technological
advances and increases in the use of electronic funds transfers; the potential
effects of Year 2000 issues as they relate to  information and operational
systems, including the FAA's air traffic control system; the Company's ability
to successfully complete and integrate acquisition targets; as well as other
economic, competitive and domestic and foreign governmental factors affecting
the Company's markets, prices and other facets of its operations.  Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those
indicated.  The Company undertakes no responsibility to update for changes
related to these or any other factors that may hereafter occur.  


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues were $28.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of $5.0 million, or 21.9%, over the same period of 1997.  Revenues from
check delivery increased $4.6 million, or 24.4%.  Of the increase, $1.0 million
is attributable to price increases effective January 1, 1998 and $3.0 million
can be attributed to the acquisitions of Data Air Courier, Inc. ("Data Air"), a
national transporter of canceled checks and small packages through a ground
delivery network and the commercial airlines in July 1997, and Pacific Air
Charter, Inc. ("PAC"), a regional airline in the business of transporting
canceled checks in June 1997.  The balance is due to increased business
activity.  Small package delivery revenue increased $0.5 million, or 12.3%.  Of
the increase, $0.3 million is attributable to the Data Air acquisition and $1.3
million is attributable to new premium product business, offset by a $1.1
million loss of standard service and wholesale business. 

Total costs and expenses, prior to the acquisition termination charge, were
$22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $5.3
million, or 30.9%, over the same period in 1997, resulting in income from
operations of $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$5.8 million for the same period of 1997.  Air transportation expenses were up
$4.7 million, or 31.6%.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$0.7 million, or 34.5%, for the three month period. In addition, the Company
incurred a $2.4 million charge in  connection with the write off of costs
associated with the efforts to acquire Q International Courier, Inc. ("Quick"). 
The agreement to acquire Quick was terminated in June 1998.

                                      8

<PAGE>

Air transportation costs increased primarily as a result of the acquisition 
of Data Air and AirNet's emphasis on building its operational infrastructure 
in anticipation of growth in the small package delivery area. The costs 
associated with shipping packages on commercial airlines increased $0.9 
million over the same quarter of 1997 due to the addition of Data Air check 
delivery shipments and an increase in SameDay small package shipments, of 
which a significant portion are moved during daytime hours when AirNet's 
aircraft do not fly. Ground courier costs increased $1.8 million and courier 
vehicle costs were up $0.2 million due to the Data Air acquisition and the 
build up of the infrastructure.  Fuel expense increased $0.2 million, or 
6.2%, due to increased flying hours, offset by lower fuel prices compared to 
a year ago.   The increased flight hours also contributed to a $0.4 million 
increase in maintenance expense.

Sales, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to more
staffing required to handle the administrative functions and general costs
assumed with the Data Air and PAC acquisitions. 

Interest costs were $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  The
Company began borrowing on its line of credit in September 1997, after being
essentially debt free since its initial public offering in May 1996.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues were $54.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase
of $9.4 million, or 20.7%, over the same period of 1997.  Revenues from check
delivery increased $8.9 million, or 24.1%.  Of the increase, $2.0 million is
attributable to price increases effective January 1, 1998 and $6.1 million can
be attributed to the acquisitions of Data Air and PAC.  The balance is due to
increased business activity and increases in total weight shipped.  Small
package delivery revenue increased $0.7 million, or 9.0%. Of the increase, $0.6
million is attributable to the Data Air acquisition and $2.3 million is
attributable to new premium product business, offset by a $1.7 million loss of
standard service and wholesale business. These increases in air transportation
revenues were offset by a $0.2 million decrease in revenues generated by the
Company's retail fuel sales and maintenance division.

Total costs and expenses, prior to the acquisition termination charge,  were
$44.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $9.9
million, or 28.9%, over the same period in 1997, resulting in income from
operations of $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$11.0 million for the same period of 1997.  Air transportation expenses were up
$9.2 million, or 31.2%.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$0.9 million, or 21.1%, for the six month period. In addition, the Company
incurred a $2.4 million charge in  connection with the write off of costs
associated with the efforts to acquire Quick.  The agreement to acquire Quick
was terminated in June 1998.

Air transportation costs increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of
Data Air and AirNet's emphasis on building its operational infrastructure in
anticipation of growth in the small package delivery area. The costs associated
with shipping packages on commercial airlines increased $2.4 million over the
same period of 1997 due to the addition of Data Air check delivery shipments and
an increase in SameDay small package shipments.  Ground courier costs increased
$3.6 million and courier vehicle costs were up $0.5 million due to the Data Air
acquisition and the build up of the infrastructure.  Depreciation expense
increased $0.7 million, or 17.1%,  due to the increased size of the Company's
aircraft fleet, which grew from 110 aircraft at June 30, 1997 to 117 aircraft at
June 30, 1998, an increased fleet of ground vehicles and improved management
information and telecommunications systems. Fuel expense increased $0.3 million,
or 5.2%, due to increased flying hours, offset by lower fuel prices.   Despite
the increase in the size of the aircraft fleet and the increased flight hours,
maintenance expense increased only 5.5% due to unusually good flying weather in
the first quarter.

Sales, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to more 
staffing required to handle the administrative functions and general costs 
assumed with the Data Air and PAC acquisitions.  In addition, interest income 
is down $0.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Interest costs were $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The
Company began borrowing on its line of credit in September 1997, after being
essentially debt free since its initial public offering in May 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES.   Net cash flow from operating activities
was $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $9.3
million for the same period in 1997.  The decrease is due to $1.9 million of
costs associated with start-up activities and $2.4 million of acquisition costs
incurred in 1998 and the reduction of the deferred tax asset in 1997.

CURRENT CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS. The Company maintains a credit agreement with a
bank that provides a $50.0 million, five year, unsecured revolving credit
facility. The credit agreement limits the availability of funds to certain
specified percentages of accounts receivable, inventory and the wholesale value
of aircraft and equipment.  In addition, the agreement requires the maintenance
of certain minimum net worth and cash flow levels, imposes certain limitations
on payments of dividends, restricts the amount of additional debt and requires
prior bank approval for certain acquisitions.  At June 30, 1998, the Company had
borrowed $14.0 million under the credit facility, which was a $4.5 million
increase from the December 31, 1997 balance.  

INVESTING ACTIVITIES.  Capital expenditures totaled $11.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $10.7 million for the same period in
1997.  Approximately $3.4 million was incurred in connection with the purchase
of 5 new aircraft, $6.3 million was incurred for aircraft inspections, major
engine overhauls and related flight equipment and the remainder was incurred
primarily for delivery vehicles and information systems related equipment. The
Company anticipates it will have approximately $20.0 million in total capital
expenditures in 1998, excluding any acquisitions of new businesses.  The Company
anticipates it will continue to acquire aircraft and flight equipment as
necessary to maintain growth and continue offering quality service to its
customers.  

The Company is currently in discussions with the Port Authority of Columbus (the
"Port Authority") to construct a new headquarters facility at the Columbus
International Airport.  Upon the completion of the new facility, the Company
intends to sell its current headquarters to the Port Authority in exchange for
credits to be applied to a land lease for the new facility.  No definitive
agreements have been reached.  In addition, the Company leases a facility
located on Columbus International Airport grounds. Upon completion of the
Company's new headquarters, this lease is expected to be terminated and the
Company is expected to purchase the facility from the Port Authority.

On June 17, 1998, the Company announced that it had terminated an agreement to
acquire Quick.  The Company had incurred $2.4 million of acquisition related
costs in conjunction with the original merger plan, all of which were expensed
upon the termination of the agreement.

On August 11, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase
Mercury Business Services, Inc., an express delivery management service located
in Boston, for approximately $2,000,000 and 118,000 AirNet Common Shares.  

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

SEASONALITY AND VARIABILITY IN QUARTERLY RESULTS

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

Operating results are also affected by the weather.  The Company generally
experiences higher maintenance costs during its fiscal quarter ending March 31. 
Winter weather requires additional costs for de-icing, hangar rental and other
aircraft services.  The Company's cash flows are also influenced by the budget
cycles of its primary customers.  Many financial institutions have calendar year
budget cycles and desire to pay for December services prior to year end.  This
results in increased cash flows for the Company's fiscal quarter ending December
31, but decreased cash flows in January and February.

YEAR 2000 IMPACT ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONS

A small portion of the Company's computer programs was written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year.  As a result, those computer
programs have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could cause a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process certain transactions, send invoices or
engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company has completed an assessment of its computer systems and will have to
modify or replace small portions of its software so that all of its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter.  The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 1998.
Management does not expect costs related to the year 2000 modifications and
replacements to be material to the Company's overall operations.

The Company has also performed a review of its aircraft to ensure operational
compliance with year 2000 date-sensitive components.  The Company believes its
aircraft and related components are in compliance with such measures. However,
the Company is aware that the FAA has announced that it is currently
encountering difficulties in modifying its operating systems for compliance with
year 2000 issues.  If the FAA is not able to correct its year 2000 problems in
the appropriate time frame, it could result in a material adverse affect on the
Company's ability to schedule and execute aircraft arrivals and departures.,
