                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
     The following Summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements, including the Notes thereto, appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company (formerly known as Schuylkill Acquisition Corp.) was formed
pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida in May, 1997. It conducted no
business.
 
     On July 28, 1997, the Company merged with Jet Aviation Trading, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("Old Jet"), remained the surviving entity and changed its
name to Jet Aviation Trading, Inc. Old Jet had commenced business on October 3,
1996. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company"
throughout this Prospectus, including the Financial Statements contained herein,
refer to the operations of Old Jet prior to July 28, 1997 and the Company
thereafter.
 
     The Company specializes in the sale, lease, exchange and purchase of
technical spares for fixed-wing commercial jet transport aircraft manufactured
by Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus and Lockheed. Complimenting this core
business, the Company provides its customers with inventory management services
including new product distribution, technical purchasing, maintenance repair
management, consignment marketing and purchase/leaseback of technical spares
inventory. The Company also pursues opportunities involving the purchase, sale
and lease of jet turbine engines, jet turbine aircraft and related aviation
industry equipment.
 
     Industry estimates are that the annual worldwide market for aircraft spare
parts is approximately $10.2 billion, of which approximately $1.6 billion
reflects annual sales of aircraft spare parts in the redistribution market.
These sales figures are expected to grow considerably in the near future, as
continued cost pressures affect airlines, manufacturers and maintenance service
providers. The emphasis upon cost containment in recent years has led to a
marked increase in the average age of the worldwide airline fleet, as commercial
airlines seek to prolong the depreciable life of their aircraft. The Company
seeks to exploit these key market trends by positioning itself as a low cost
participant in the redistribution market. In addition, the Company offers its
customers a wide range of inventory management services, allowing them to reduce
operational expenses. This service complements the recent trend of commercial
airlines seeking to outsource certain activities in order to focus upon their
core business of passenger and cargo air transportation. Finally the Company
believes that it can successfully exploit opportunities for bulk purchases of
inventory and purchases of jet turbine engines and aircraft at favorable prices,
thereby increasing profitability. (See "Business" and "Risk Factors").
 
     From inception (October 3, 1996) though the fiscal year ended August 31,
1997, the Company generated net sales of $6,215,553 and net income of $15,959.
Of such revenues, approximately 57.3% were derived from sales to domestic
customers and approximately 42.7% were derived from sales to international
customers. Transactions involving technical spares accounted for 100% of net
sales.
 
     The Company's operations are conducted from leased facilities at 15675
Northwest 15th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33169 where it maintains its executive
offices. Its telephone number is (305) 624-6700.

                             Common Stock by the Selling Security Holders. All
                             expenses of the registration of such securities
                             are, however, being borne by the Company. The
                             Selling Security Holders, and not the Company, will
                             pay or assume such brokerage commissions as may be
                             incurred in the sale of their securities.
 
                             The Common Stock is traded on The OTC Bulletin
                             Board under the symbol "JTAV". On           the

Use of Proceeds:             The net proceeds realized by the Company upon the
                             exercise of the Warrants will be used to purchase
                             jet turbine engines and additional inventory and to
                             offset general working capital requirements of the
                             Company. See "USE OF PROCEEDS." Inasmuch as the
                             Company has received no firm commitments for the
                             exercise of the Warrants, however, there can be no
                             assurances as to the amount of the net proceeds to
                             be realized by the Company. Except for any proceeds
                             that may be realized upon exercise of the Warrants,
                             the Company will not receive any of the proceeds
                             from the sale of any of the shares of Common Stock
                             by the Selling Security Holders.
 
Risk Factors:                The Common Stock offered hereby involves a high
                             degree of risk and prospective investors should
                             consider carefully the factors specified under
                             "Risk Factors" before electing to invest. See "RISK

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     Prospective investors should consider carefully the following Risk Factors,
together with the other information contained in this Prospectus, in evaluating
an investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
 
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
 
     The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its
performance and prospects can be made. The Company's prospects must be
considered in light of the numerous risks, expenses, delays, problems and
difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new enterprise in
industries characterized by intense competition. Although through August 31,
1997, the Company has operated profitably, the Company intends to expand its
operations, which will bring increased cash flow pressures. Accordingly,
expansion of inventory and operations may have a negative impact on the
profitability of the Company, at least in the near term. Further, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully expand its operations
and continue profitability. See "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" and "BUSINESS."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING
 
     The exercise of all the Warrants will result in net proceeds to the Company
of approximately $4,400,000. Although the Company believes that these funds,
together with revenues from operations will be sufficient for the Company's
immediate anticipated needs, additional funds will be required to expand the
business over time. There can be no assurance however, that such funds will be
sufficient in the near term or that the Company will be able to secure
additional financing when required. See "BUSINESS" and "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION."
 
EFFECTS OF THE ECONOMY ON THE OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
 
     Since the Company's customers consist of airlines, maintenance and repair
facilities that service airlines and other spare parts redistributors, the
Company's business is impacted by the economic factors which affect the airline
industry. When such factors adversely affect the airline industry, they tend to
reduce the overall demand for aircraft spare parts and peripheral services,
causing price reductions and increasing the credit risk associated with doing
business with airlines and others. Additionally, factors such as the price of
fuel affect the aircraft spare parts market, since older aircraft (into which
aircraft spare parts are most often placed), which tend to be less fuel
efficient, become less viable as the price of fuel increases. There can be no
assurance that economic and other factors which might affect the airline
industry will not have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.
 
TRENDS IN THE MARKET
 
     Airline purchasing departments have been reducing the number of "approved"
suppliers in order to reduce costs. During the last few years certain major
airlines have reduced the number of "approved" suppliers from as many as fifty
to as few as five. Although the Company presently is an approved supplier of
fourteen airlines, no assurances can be given that the Company can maintain or
expand this status. Further, the reduction in the supplier base for airlines
contributed to a consolidation in the redistribution market which, the Company
believes, will continue. Only redistributors with extensive inventories,
experienced management, sufficient capital and the ability to adhere to the
industry standards for traceability will, the Company believes, operate
profitably. No assurances can be given that the Company can effectively compete
in this changing marketplace.
 
RISK REGARDING THE COMPANY'S INVENTORY
 
     The Company's inventory consists principally of new, overhauled,
serviceable and repairable aircraft parts that are purchased from many sources.
Before parts may be installed in an aircraft, they must meet certain standards
of condition established by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and/or
the
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   9
 
equivalent regulatory agencies in other countries. Specific regulations vary
from country to country, although regulatory requirements in other countries
generally coincide with FAA requirements. Parts owned or acquired by the Company
may not meet applicable standards or standards may change in the future, causing
parts which are already contained in the Company's inventory to be scrapped or
modified. Aircraft manufacturers may also develop new parts to be used in lieu
of parts already contained in the Company's inventory. In all such cases, to the
extent that the Company has such parts in its inventory, their value may be
reduced. See "BUSINESS -- Government Regulation and Traceability."
 
RISKS REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF JET TURBINE ENGINES AND AIRCRAFT
 
     Although the Company has not, to date, purchased jet turbine engines or jet
turbine aircraft for resale, it intends in the future, to engage in these
activities. The purchase for resale of these items are subject to risks related
to the volatility in the market place for engines and aircraft. These activities
also involve a commitment of substantial capital, and if the engines or aircraft
are purchased at too high a price for subsequent resale, substantial losses
could be incurred. In addition, engines and aircraft may need repair work, which
increases their cost and adversely affects profitability.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     The aviation industry is highly regulated in the United States by the FAA
and in other countries by similar agencies. While the Company's business is not
regulated, the aircraft spare parts which it sells to its customers must be
accompanied by documentation which enables the customer to comply with
applicable regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance that new and more
stringent government regulations will not be adopted in the future or that any
such new regulations, if enacted, would not have an adverse impact on the
Company. See "BUSINESS -- Government Regulation and Traceability."
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
 
     The Company's operating results are affected by many factors, including the
timing of orders from customers, the timing of expenditures to purchase
inventory in anticipation of future sales, the timing of bulk inventory
purchases, the timing of purchases and financing requirements for jet engines or
aircraft and the mix of available technical spare parts contained, at any time,
in the Company's inventory. A large portion of the Company's operating expenses
are relatively fixed. Since the Company typically does not obtain long-term
purchase orders or commitments from its customers, it must anticipate the future
volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of its customers
and upon its discussions with its customers as to their future requirements.
Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of
customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. See "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" and
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION."
 
RELIANCE ON CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
 
     The continued success of the Company is dependent to a significant degree
upon the services of Joseph J. Nelson, its president and chief executive officer
and upon the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel
experienced in the various phases of the Company's business. The Company has an
employment agreement with Mr. Nelson which terminates on October 31, 1999. The
Company anticipates obtaining term insurance for Mr. Nelson in an amount not to
exceed $1,000,000. However, the ability of the Company to operate successfully
could be jeopardized with the loss of Mr. Nelson's services. See "MANAGEMENT."
 
COMPETITION
 
     There are numerous suppliers of aircraft spare parts in the aviation market
worldwide and, through inventory listing services, customers have access to a
broad array of suppliers. These include major aircraft manufacturers, airline
and aircraft service companies, and aircraft spare parts redistributors. Many of
the Company's competitors have substantially greater financial and other
resources than the Company. There can
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   10
 
be no assurance that competitive pressures will not materially and adversely
affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. See
"BUSINESS -- Competition."
 
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICES
 
     As of             , 1997, the Company had outstanding 2,996,500 shares of
Common Stock, of which approximately           are eligible for public trading.
Taking into account the sale of shares held by Selling Security Holders and the
exercise of the Warrants, assuming all of the Warrants are exercised, the
Company will have 3,996,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding, approximately
       of which will be eligible for public trading. Although it is impossible
to predict market influences and prospective values for securities, it is
possible that, in and of itself, the substantial increase in the number of
shares available for sale could have a depressive effect upon the market value
of the Company's Common Stock.
 
     Furthermore, although the Company's Common Stock trades in the
over-the-counter market, there can be no assurances that a regular trading
market will develop, or, if developed, will continue, or that the prices of the
Common Stock will exceed the exercise price paid by the holders of the Warrants.
There has been a history of significant volatility in the market prices for
shares of companies in a similar stage of development. Hence, there can be no
assurances that holders who elect to exercise their Warrants will ultimately be
able to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock at a profit, if at all.
Because of the factors described above and elsewhere in this Prospectus, the
market price of the Company's Common Stock following the date of this Prospectus
may be highly volatile.
 
POSSIBLE LIMITATIONS UPON TRADING ACTIVITIES; RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED UPON
BROKER-DEALERS EFFECTING TRANSACTIONS IN CERTAIN SECURITIES
 
     Trading of the Company's securities may be subject to material limitations
as a consequence of certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") which limit the activities of broker-dealers effecting
transactions in "penny stocks."
 
     Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act provide a
series of rules requiring broker-dealers engaging in transactions in low-priced
over-the-counter securities defined as "penny stocks," to first provide to their
customers a series of disclosures and documents, including: (i) a standardized
risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investing in "penny
stocks;" (ii) all compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with
the transaction; (iii) current quotation prices and other relevant market data;
and (iv) monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the
securities.
 
     "Penny stocks" are defined as any equity securities other than a security
that is registered on a national exchange; included for quotation in the NASDAQ
system; or whose issuer has net tangible assets of more than $2,000,000 and has
been in continuous operation for greater than three (3) years. Issuers who have
been in operation less than three (3) years must have net tangible assets of at
least $5,000,000.
 
     Accordingly, the Company's Common Stock presently constitutes a "penny
stock." As such, trading activities for the Company's Common Stock will be made
more difficult for broker-dealers than in the case of securities not defined as
"penny stock." This may have the result of depressing the market for the
Company's securities and an investor may find it difficult to dispose of such
securities.
 
     In addition, under the Exchange Act, and the regulations thereunder, any
person engaged in a distribution of the shares of Common Stock of the Company
offered by this Prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making
activities with respect to the Common Stock of the Company during the applicable
"cooling off" periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. In
addition, and without limiting the foregoing, each Selling Security Holder will
be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder including, without limitation, Rule 15c2-6, and
Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of
Common Stock by the Selling Security Holders.
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF EXERCISE PRICE
 
     The exercise prices of the Warrants do not bear any relationship to the
assets, book value, operating results or net worth of the Company, and should
not be considered to be an indication of the actual value of the Company.
 
POSSIBLE STATE AND FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
     Holders of Warrants will be able to sell the underlying Common Stock
issuable upon exercise thereof only if a current registration statement relating
to such underlying Common Stock is then in effect and on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and only if such Common Stock is qualified
for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable state securities
laws. The Warrants contain certain provisions requiring the Company to file for,
and endeavor to secure, current and effective registration of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise. Although the Company has undertaken to use
its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of this Prospectus covering the
securities underlying the Warrants, there can be no assurances that the Company
will be able to do so. The value of the Warrants may be greatly reduced if a
current prospectus covering the securities issuable upon the exercise of
Warrants is not kept effective or if such securities are not qualified or exempt
from qualification in the states in which the holders of Warrants reside. See
"DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES."
 
EFFECT OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
 
     As of October 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding Warrants to purchase
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock upon exercise. To the extent that the shares
underlying the Warrants enter the market, the price of the Common Stock in the
market may be substantially reduced. Moreover, for the term of the Warrants
issued by the Company, the holders thereof are given an opportunity to profit
from a rise in the market price of the Company's Common Stock, with resulting
dilution in the interest of the other stockholders. Further, the terms on which
the Company may obtain additional financing during that period may be adversely
affected by the existence of such Warrants. The holders of such Warrants may
exercise them at a time when the Company might be able to obtain additional
capital through a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those
provided by therein. The Company has undertaken to file this Prospectus with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to certain registration rights
enjoyed by holders of Warrants. The expense of registration of this Prospectus
shall be borne by the Company, which expense may be significant.
 
DIVIDENDS NOT LIKELY
 
     The Company does not intend to declare or pay cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, are expected to be retained to finance and
develop its business. See "DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES."
 
                                    DILUTION
 
     The exercise price of the Warrants is $4.50 per share. Officers, directors,
promoters and affiliated persons of the Company purchased their shares for cash
and other consideration ranging from $.001 to $2.50.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The Company will not realize any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common
Stock by the Selling Security Holders. See "SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS."
 
     The net proceeds which may be realized by the Company upon the exercise of
one-hundred (100%) percent of the Warrants will be approximately $4,400,000.
Inasmuch as the Company has received no firm commitments for their exercise,
there can be no assurance that any or a substantial portion of the Warrants will
be exercised.
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
     Management cannot predict with any certainty the amount of proceeds, if
any, which may be generated from the exercise of Warrants. The net proceeds, if
any, which may be realized by the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants,
will be utilized to continue the operations of the Company in accordance with
the business strategy identified by management. See "BUSINESS." Based upon this
strategy, assuming that net proceeds of $4,400,000 are realized by the Company
upon the exercise of Warrants, management would reasonably expect to utilize
such proceeds within a period of twenty-four (24) months, in the following
relative proportions:

     The amounts actually expended for the purposes described above could vary
significantly depending on, among other things, the Company's ability to obtain
capital from other sources, the demand for the Company's services and the
availability of inventory, jet engines and aircraft at attractive prices.
 
                        MARKET PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK
 
     As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company's Common Stock is traded in
the over-the-counter market through The OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"JTAV." From           to           the high and low bid prices of the Common
Stock were           and           respectively.
 
     Records of the Company's stock transfer agent indicate that as of October
31, 1997, the Company had 304 record holders of its Common Stock.
 
     The Company has not paid any cash dividends to date, and does not
anticipate or contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is
the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for working
capital of the Company.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     This Management's Discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Financial Statements, including the notes thereto. This Prospectus
contains certain forward-looking information which involves risks and
uncertainties. The actual results could differ from the results anticipated
herein.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company was incorporated in Florida on May 28, 1997 for the purpose of
acquiring by merger the business and operations of Old Jet upon the completion
of a stock offering by the Company. On July 28, 1997, the Company acquired 100%
of the outstanding common stock of Old Jet in exchange for 1,776,800 shares of
common stock of the Company in a one for one stock exchange. The merger has been
accounted for as a purchase. Old Jet was incorporated in the state of Florida on
October 3, 1996 for the purpose of buying, selling, leasing and exchanging spare
parts for fixed-wing commercial jet transport aircraft. Effective July 28, 1997
the Company's name was changed from Schuylkill Acquisition Corp. to Jet Aviation
Trading, Inc.
 
     The effect of the transaction was a reverse merger; accordingly, the
historical financial statements presented are those of the accounting survivor,
Old Jet, and the stockholders' equity of the merged company was recapitalized to
reflect the capital structure of the surviving legal entity (the Company) and
the retained earnings of Old Jet.
 
     The Company derives its revenues from selling, leasing and exchanging spare
parts for fixed-wing commercial jet transport aircraft.
 
     The Company has only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation
of its operations and prospects can be based. Although the Company has since
inception experienced increasing net sales, the Company may experience
significant fluctuations in its gross margins and operating results in the
future, both on an annual and a quarterly basis. These fluctuations may be
caused by various factors, including general economic conditions, specific
economic conditions in the commercial aviation industry, the availability and
price of surplus aviation material, the size and timing of customer orders,
returns by and allowances to customers and the cost of capital to the Company.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Net sales of $6,215,553 have been generated since inception on October 3,
1996 through August 31, 1997. The Company has been able to sustain an increase
in net sales since inception through August 31, 1997, primarily due to the
increased availability of cash resources to acquire inventory for resale. The
Company generated foreign sales of $2,655,968 since inception through August 31,
1997 due to its marketing efforts and expansion of its product lines to its
foreign customers.
 
     Gross margins of 25% as a percentage of sales resulted in gross profits of
$1,530,689 since inception through August 31, 1997.
 
     Total selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,482,060 were 24%
of sales. In management's opinion this unusually high expense, as a percentage
of sales, was a result of expanding the Company's office and warehouse
facilities along with its sales, administrative and warehouse personnel levels
to efficiently address its increasing inventory and revenues. Management does
not anticipate that the unusually high expenses, (as a percentage of sales),
experienced from inception through August 31, 1997, will continue on a regular
basis.
 
     Interest expense (net of interest income) of $16,470 resulted from
borrowings to expand the Company's inventory levels, its operations as well as
the financing of the expansion of the Company's office and warehouse facilities.
Further increases in interest expense can be anticipated in the future as the
Company continues to expand its inventory levels and facilities to support
future growth.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   14
 
     Net income was $15,959, and net income per share was $0.01 per share in the
period from inception through August 31, 1997. Net income per share is based
upon the weighted average of the common shares outstanding (1,672,968) from
inception through August 31, 1997.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company's working capital was $3,246,086 as of August 31, 1997. The
principal reasons for the increase in working capital since inception were the
increase in inventories and increase in cash resulting from private placements
of equity securities and the conversion of debt to equity.
 
     Net cash used in operating activities was $1,516,173. The decrease in cash
flow from operating activities was due primarily to the increase in accounts
receivable and inventory during the period ended August 31, 1997.
 
     Net cash used in investing activities was $121,730 for the period ended
August 31, 1997. Net cash used in investing activities for the period ended
August 31, 1997 represented the acquisition of property and equipment and
deposit with an aircraft parts manufacturer.
 
     Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,979,563 for the period
ended August 31, 1997. Since its inception the Company has received $932,313
from the issuance of Common Stock.
 
     The Company believes that the cash flows expected to be generated by
operations will meet its anticipated short term cash needs for working capital
and the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants will enable the Company to
make future capital expenditures, through the next 18 months.
 
     The Company does not have any commitments for material capital
expenditures.
 
PLAN OF OPERATION
 
     Following the exercise of the Warrants in this offering, the Company
intends to use a portion of the proceeds, as well as trade credit, to acquire
turbine jet engines and expand its inventory of engine spare parts. The Company
also anticipates hiring additional employees, particularly in the marketing
area.
 
     Finally the Company seeks to establish a $1.5 million revolving credit
facility for working capital and equipment purchases. The Company currently is
discussing the terms and conditions of such a facility with banks, although no
bank has yet offered the Company a commitment.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company was formed pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida in May,
1997. It conducted no business.
 
     On July 28, 1997, the Company, then known as Schuylkill Acquisition Corp.,
merged with Jet Aviation Trading, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Old Jet"),
remained the surviving entity and changed its name to Jet Aviation Trading, Inc.
Old Jet had commenced business on October 3, 1996. Unless the context otherwise
requires, references to the "Company" throughout this Prospectus, including the
Financial Statements contained herein, refer to the operations of Old Jet prior
to July 28, 1997 and the Company thereafter.
 
     The Company specializes in the sale, lease, exchange and purchase of
technical spares for fixed-wing commercial jet transport aircraft manufactured
by Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus and Lockheed. Complimenting this core
business, the Company provides its customers with inventory management services
including new product distribution, technical purchasing, maintenance repair
management, consignment marketing and purchase/leaseback of technical spares
inventory. The Company also pursues opportunities involving the purchase, sale
and lease of jet turbine engines, jet turbine aircraft, and related aviation
industry equipment.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     Industry estimates are that the annual worldwide market for aircraft spare
parts is approximately $10.2 billion, of which approximately $1.6 billion
reflects annual sales of aircraft spare parts in the redistribution market. The
redistribution market is highly fragmented, with a limited number of large,
well-capitalized companies selling a broad range of aircraft spare parts, and
many smaller competitors servicing particular segments of the industry. The
Company believes that significant trends affecting the market will increase its
overall size and at the same time eliminate some market participants. These
trends are:
 
  Growth in Market for Aircraft Spare Parts
 
     According to Boeing's 1996 Market Outlook (the "Boeing Report"), the
worldwide fleet of commercial passenger airplanes is expected to double from
11,066 airplanes at the end of 1995 to 23,081 airplanes by 2015. The Boeing
Report also projects that cargo jet aircraft will increase from 1,219 airplanes
in 1995 to 2,260 airplanes by 2015. Seventy percent of the airplanes delivered
to cargo operators are expected to be used aircraft which were converted from
commercial passenger service. Further, the number of planes in service for more
than 10 years is continuing to increase, and these older planes are the primary
market for redistributors. Finally, cost considerations are forcing many
airlines and repair and maintenance facilities to utilize aircraft spare parts
sold by redistributors, instead of purchasing new parts for inventory. The
Company believes that all of these factors will increase the demand for aircraft
spare parts from the redistribution market.
 
  Increased Outsourcing of Inventory Management Function
 
     Airlines incur substantial expenditures in connection with fuel, labor and
aircraft ownership. Further, during the last decade, airlines have come under
increasing pressure to reduce the costs associated with providing air
transportation services. Although several of the expenditures required to
operate an airline are beyond the direct control of airline operators (e.g., the
price of fuel and labor costs), obtaining replacement parts from the
redistribution market and outsourcing inventory management functions are, the
Company believes, areas in which airlines can allow these functions to be
handled more inexpensively and efficiently.
 
  Increasing Emphasis on Traceability
 
     Due to concerns regarding unapproved aircraft spare parts, regulatory
authorities have increased the level of documentation which must be maintained
on aircraft spare parts. This requirement has, in turn, been extended by
end-users to the vendors of the parts. The sophistication required to track the
history of an
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   16
 
inventory consisting of thousands of aircraft spare parts is considerable and
has required companies to invest significantly in information systems
technology.
 
  Increased Consignment
 
     Certain of the Company's customers adjust inventory levels on a periodic
basis by disposing of excess aircraft spare parts. Traditionally, larger
airlines have used internal personnel to manage such dispositions. The Company
believes that major airlines and other owners of aircraft spare parts, in order
to concentrate on their core businesses and to more effectively redistribute
their excess parts inventories, are increasingly entering into long-term
consignment agreements with redistributors. By consigning inventories to a
redistributor such as the Company, customers are able to distribute their
aircraft spare parts to a larger number of prospective inventory buyers,
allowing the customer to maximize the value of its inventory. Consignment also
enables the Company to offer for sale significant parts inventory at minimal
capital cost to the Company.
 
  Increased Leasing
 
     The Company believes that cost considerations will result in airlines'
increased use of leasing with respect to spare parts and engines. This practice
can prove beneficial to the Company, for it can obtain a steady income stream
over a period of time from lease payments and upon termination of the lease,
regain the part or engine for subsequent sale. In addition, leasing arrangements
may afford the Company the ability to obtain additional financing.
 
COMPANY STRATEGY
 
     The Company believes that it can become a low cost leader in the
redistribution market, as well as for its ancillary inventory management
services, by combining its managerial experience with increased capital and
building upon its present operations. The essential elements of its business
strategy are:
 
  Internal Growth
 
     The Company's strategy is to increase operating revenues and operating
income through continued customer penetration in its existing markets and
expansion into new markets. The Company intends to achieve this by continuing to
increase the size and scope of its inventory and by continuing to expand its
marketing efforts worldwide. The Company will also expand its inventory
management, leasing and on-site consignment services to allow its customers to
reduce their costs of operations by outsourcing some or all of their inventory
management and supply functions and to take advantage of opportunities to
maximize the value of their spare parts inventory. The Company seeks to
establish and maintain close working relationships with its customers and to
become their vendor of choice.
 
  Capitalize on Large Bulk Purchase Opportunities
 
     Although opportunities to purchase large inventories in bulk in the
aircraft spare parts industry cannot be predicted, historically they become
available on a regular basis. "Bulk" purchase opportunities arise when airlines,
in order to reduce capital requirements, sell large amounts of inventory in a
single transaction or when inventories of aircraft spare parts are sold in
conjunction with bankruptcy proceedings, or when operators upgrade their fleet.
In these situations the Company can obtain large inventories of aircraft spare
parts at a lower cost than can ordinarily be obtained by purchasing on an
individual basis. This results generally in higher gross margins on sales of
such parts. Since inception, the Company has successfully completed six bulk
inventory purchases in excess of $100,000. The Company believes that due to the
experience of management, and as a result of additional capital, an increased
number of larger bulk purchases can be effectuated.
 
  Initiate Purchase and Sale of Jet Turbine Engines and Aircraft
 
     The Company believes that with proper financial resources, it would be in a
position to enter the market for the purchase and sale of jet turbine engines
and aircraft. This market is extremely competitive and capital
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   17
 
intensive. However, the Company believes that it has the management expertise
and industry contacts to make prudent purchases, the key to profitability in
this market.
 
  Pursue Acquisitions of Complementary Businesses
 
     Another element of the Company's strategy involves acquisitions of other
companies, assets or product lines that would complement or expand the Company's
existing aircraft spare parts redistribution and inventory management services
business. The Company believes that acquisitions will enable it to achieve
economies of scale and expand the product and service line available to its
customers. The Company is currently evaluating a number of acquisition
opportunities. No commitments or binding agreements have been entered into to
date and accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the acquisitions
currently being considered will be consummated.
 
AIRCRAFT SPARE PARTS
 
     Aircraft spare parts can be categorized by their ongoing ability to be
repaired and returned to service. The general categories are as follows: (i)
rotable; (ii) repairable; and (iii) expendable. A rotable is a part which is
removed periodically as dictated by an operator's maintenance procedures or on
an "as needed" basis and is typically repaired or overhauled and re-used an
indefinite number of times. An important subset of rotables is life limited
parts. A life limited part has a designated number of allowable flight hours
and/or cycles (one take-off and landing generally constitutes one cycle) after
which it is rendered unusable. A repairable is similar to a rotable except that
it can only be repaired a limited number of times before it must be discarded.
An expendable is generally a part which is used and not thereafter repaired for
further use.
 
     Aircraft spare parts conditions are classified within the industry as (i)
factory new, (ii) new surplus, (iii) overhauled, (iv) serviceable, and (v) as
removed. A factory new or new surplus part is one that has never been installed
or used. Factory new parts are purchased from manufacturers or their authorized
distributors. New surplus parts are purchased from excess stock of airlines,
repair facilities or other redistributors. An overhauled part has been
completely disassembled, inspected, repaired, reassembled and tested by a
licensed repair facility. An aircraft spare part is classified serviceable if it
is removed by the operator from an aircraft or engine while operating under an
approved maintenance program and is functional and meets any manufacturer or
time and cycle restrictions applicable to the part. A factory new, new surplus,
overhauled or serviceable part designation indicates that the part can be
immediately utilized on an aircraft. A part in "as-removed" condition requires
functional testing, repair or overhaul by a licensed facility prior to being
returned to service in an aircraft.
 
OPERATIONS
 
     The Company's main business is the buying and selling of aircraft spare
parts. The Company has also pursued opportunities regarding the purchase and
sale of related aviation industry equipment. In this regard, the Company
acquired a DC-10-30 flight simulator and related support package and software.
The Company also provides value-added inventory management services to its
customers. The Company believes that inventory management services provide
significant opportunities for expansion of the Company's business in the future.
Finally, the Company intends to develop business as a redistributor of turbine
jet engines and become involved in the purchase, sale and lease of jet turbine
aircraft.
 
  Inventory Purchases and Sales
 
     The daily operations of the Company encompass inventory sales, brokering
and exchanging aircraft spare parts. The Company advertises its available
inventories held for sale or exchange on the Inventory Locator Service ("ILS"),
the Airline Inventory Redistribution System ("AIRS") and BCOM electronic
databases. Buyers of aircraft spare parts can access the ILS, AIRS and BCOM
databases and determine the companies which have the desired inventory
available. The Company estimates that twenty-five percent of its daily sales
activity results from an ILS, AIRS or BCOM inquiry. All major airlines and
repair agencies subscribe to one or more of these databases and accordingly, the
Company maintains continual on-line direct access with them.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   18
 
ILS, AIRS and BCOM do not, however, list price information relating to
particular parts. The ability to properly evaluate and price spare parts derives
from management experience in the industry.
 
     The Company currently has over 35,000 line items in stock. The Company
monitors market availability, pricing and historical data on a continuous basis.
The Company sells new, overhauled and serviceable replacement parts from its
inventory and by buying them at the request of its customers against a specific
order; usually purchasing the parts for its own account and selling them to its
customers.
 
     For the period ended August 31, 1997, inventory sales accounted for 100% of
revenues.
 
  Inventory Management Services
 
     The Company provides a number of inventory management services to its
customers. These services assist airlines in downsizing their inventory
management operations, thus enabling them to utilize their capital more
efficiently and reduce costs. Through the offering of various services, the
Company believes it can provide an inventory management program geared to any
particular customer's requirements.
 
  Consignment
 
     By consigning inventories to a redistributor such as the Company, customers
are able to distribute their aircraft spare parts to a larger number of
prospective inventory buyers, allowing the customer to maximize the value of its
inventory. Consignment also enables the Company to offer for sale significant
parts inventory at minimal capital cost. The Company currently maintains or
manages or has consignment agreements in place and its revenues from consignment
arrangements have accounted for approximately 5% of net sales for the period
ended August 31, 1997. The Company anticipates that revenues from consignments
will increase as a percentage of total revenues in the future.
 
  Purchasing Services
 
     The Company provides services whereby it purchases spare parts for smaller
and start-up airlines. These arrangements allow the Company's customers to take
advantage of the Company's greater purchasing power and repair management
services.
 
SALES AND MARKETING; CUSTOMERS
 
     The Company utilizes six inside and outside salespersons and a network of
independent representatives in its sales and marketing efforts. The Company's
President directs the Company's sales force. The Company's sales force is
responsible for obtaining new customers and maintaining relationships with
existing customers. The majority of the Company's day-to-day sales are
accomplished through the Company's inside sales force.
 
     The Company provides sales and delivery services seven days a week, 24
hours a day. This service is critical to provide support to airline customers
which, at any time, may have an aircraft grounded in need of a particular part.
The Company's South Florida location, with easy access to Miami International
Airport and Fort Lauderdale International Airport, assists the Company in
providing reliable and timely delivery of purchased products.
 
     The Company has over 140 customers, which include commercial passenger
airlines, air cargo carriers, maintenance and repair facilities, original
equipment manufacturers and other aircraft parts redistribution companies.
During the eleven month period ended August 31, 1997, the Company's top 10
customers accounted for approximately 75% of net sales, and one customer has
accounted for more than 20% of net sales.
 
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
 
     The Company has implemented the first phase of upgrading its management
information systems by acquiring computer hardware and software. The Company's
data system is being developed to incorporate state-of-the-art records imaging,
archiving, inventory and asset management analysis, financial recordation and
other support systems. The Company believes that upon full implementation of its
data management
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   19
 
system, such system will be more than adequate to manage the requirements of the
Company in accordance with its forecasted growth.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The aircraft spare parts redistribution market is highly fragmented.
Competition in the redistribution market is generally based on price,
availability of product and quality, including traceability. The Company's major
competitors include AAR Corp., Aero Controls Corp., Solair, Inc., The Memphis
Group and Aviation Sales Company. There is also substantial competition, both
domestically and overseas, from smaller, independent dealers who generally
participate in niche markets. Several of the Company's competitors have greater
financial and other resources than the Company.
 
     The jet turbine engine and jet turbine aircraft market is currently
dominated by various financial institutions, such as GE Capital, CIT Group, and
International Lease Finance Corp. as well as the major competitors from the
spare parts redistribution market. The market also includes many smaller
entities who engage in transactions on a sporadic basis.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND TRACEABILITY
 
     The FAA regulates the manufacture, repair and operation of all aircraft and
aircraft parts operated in the United States. Its regulations are designed to
insure that all aircraft and aviation equipment are continuously maintained in
proper condition to ensure safe operation of the aircraft. Similar rules apply
in other countries. All aircraft must be maintained under a continuous condition
monitoring program and must periodically undergo thorough inspection and
maintenance. The inspection, maintenance and repair procedures for the various
types of aircraft and equipment are prescribed by regulatory authorities and can
be performed only by certified technicians at certified repair facilities.
Certification and conformance is required before installation of a part on an
aircraft. Presently, whenever necessary with respect to a particular part, the
Company utilizes FAA and/or Joint Aviation Authority certified repair stations
to repair and certify parts to ensure worldwide marketability. The operations of
the Company may in the future be subject to new and more stringent regulatory
requirements. In that regard, the Company closely monitors the FAA and industry
trade groups in an attempt to understand how possible future regulations might
impact the Company. See "Risk Factors -- Market Trend" and "Government
Regulation."
 
     An important factor in the aircraft spare parts redistribution market
relates to the documentation or traceability that is supplied with an aircraft
spare part. The Company requires all of its suppliers to provide adequate
documentation as required by the industry and the regulatory agencies. The
Company is designing its data management system to image, capture, manage and
communicate this documentation.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of August 31, 1997, the Company employed eighteen persons. None of the
Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees are good.
 
PROPERTIES
 
     The Company's executive offices and warehouse facilities are located in
Miami, Florida. These facilities comprise a total of approximately 17,600P
square feet. The premises are subject to a lease dated January 1, 1997 and
subsequently amended on November 1, 1997, which expires on December 31, 2000, at
an annual rental of $79,614 plus pass-throughs of (i) utilities, (2) increases
in real estate taxes, (3) assessments, (4) increases in insurance and (5) the
Company's share of assessments imposed by the industrial park's association.
Rent is subject to a cost of living increase adjustment. The Company has two
additional one year options to renew. These facilities are adequate for the
Company's present needs.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   20
 
PRODUCT LIABILITY AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company's business exposes it to possible claims for personal injury or
death which may result from a failure of aircraft spare parts sold by it. The
Company takes what it believes are adequate precautions to ensure the quality
and traceability of the aircraft parts which it sells. The Company does not
carry product liability insurance. See "Risk Factors -- Product Liability."
 
     The Company is not involved in any litigation.

promissory note in the principal amount of $175,000, payable on demand, together

into a Consignment Agreement with Jet Avionics, whereby the Company agreed to

Jet Avionics. Pursuant to such Consignment Agreement, the Company sold to third
parties certain of the consignment inventory for approximately $452,000 and owed
Jet Avionics $303,000 after giving effect to a $36,000 payment. On August 29,

Purchase Agreement whereby (i) Jet Avionics cancelled the debt of $303,000 and
(ii) the Company purchased the remaining consignment inventory with a value of
approximately $336,000 from Jet Avionics all in exchange for 230,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, $4,000 in cash, and the cancellation of $175,000 of
indebtedness of Jet Avionics to the Company. The President and sole shareholder
of Jet Avionics is Sharon Taoz, the daughter of Allen Beni. Ms. Taoz was
employed by the Company, as an account executive, from October 3, 1996 through
August 31, 1997 and was paid $37,000. From October 3, 1996 through October 2,
1997, Mr. Beni served in a non-executive capacity as Vice President of Special

interest in the lessor of the Company's facilities. Mr. Beni was the President
of Florida West Airlines, Inc., which filed for bankruptcy in the United States

"DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES."
 
                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     The Company is authorized to issue 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001
par value per share, of which 2,996,500 shares are outstanding. An additional
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
the Warrants and an additional 750,000 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant
to the Company's Stock Option Plan.
 
     Holders of Common Stock have equal rights to receive dividends when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor.
Holders of Common Stock have one vote for each share held of record and do not
have cumulative voting rights.
 
     Holders of Common Stock are entitled upon liquidation of the Company to
share ratably in the net assets available for distribution, subject to the
rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   25
 
Shares of Common Stock are not redeemable and have no pre-emptive or similar
rights. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and
non-assessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Within the limits and restrictions contained in the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action
by the stockholders, to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.10
par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), in one or more series, and to fix,
as to any such series, the dividend rate, redemption prices, preferences on
liquidation or dissolution, sinking fund terms, if any, conversion rights,
voting rights, and any other preferences or special rights and qualifications.
 
     Shares of Preferred Stock issued by the Board of Directors could be
utilized, under certain circumstances, to make an attempt to gain control of the
Company more difficult or time consuming. For example, shares of Preferred Stock
could be issued with certain rights which might have the effect of diluting the
percentage of Common Stock owned by a significant stockholder or issued to
purchasers who might side with management in opposing a takeover bid which the
Board of Directors determines is not in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders. This provision may be viewed as having possible anti-takeover
effects. A takeover transaction frequently affords stockholders the opportunity
to sell their shares at a premium over current market prices. The Board of
Directors has not authorized any series of Preferred Stock, and there are no
agreements, understandings or plans for the issuance of any Preferred Stock.
 
OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
 
     The Warrants were issued in June 1, 1997 in connection with the
organization of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.50 until June 30, 2002. The
Warrants are redeemable by the Company at $.05 upon the occurrence of both of
the following events: (a) the listing of the Company's shares of common stock on
a securities exchange and (b) the Company's common stock trading in excess of
$5.25 per share for a ten day period.
 
     The Warrants provide for adjustment of the exercise price and for a change
in the number of shares issuable upon exercise to protect holders against
dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock. The Warrants may be exercised upon
surrender of the Warrant Certificate on or prior to the expiration date (or
earlier redemption date) of such Warrant at the offices of the Company's
transfer agent, with the form of "Election to Purchase" completed and executed
as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price (by certified or
bank check, payable to the order of the Company) for the number of shares with
respect to which the Warrant is being exercised. Shares issued upon exercise of
Warrants and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants will be fully
paid and nonassessable.
 
     The Warrant holders have been granted registration rights by the Company
and the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is part, has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result thereof. The costs of
filing the registration statement will be borne entirely by the Company.
 
     The Warrants do not confer upon the holder thereof any voting or other
rights of a stockholder.
 
TRANSFER AGENT
 
     StockTrans, Inc., 7 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, Pennsylvania 19003,
serves as transfer agent for the Common Stock.
 
                            SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     The shares of Common Stock of the Company offered by this Prospectus are
being sold for the account of the selling security holders identified in the
following table (the "Selling Security Holders").
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   26
 
     The Selling Security Holders are offering for sale an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, as well
as 1,969,000 shares of Common Stock previously issued by the Company in certain
private placement transactions.
 
     The following table sets forth the number of Shares being held of record or
beneficially (to the extent known by the Company) by such Selling Security
Holders and provides (by footnote reference) any material relationship between
the Company and such Selling Security Holder, all of which is based upon
information currently available to the Company.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
     The Company is offering shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
Warrants that were previously issued to the holders thereof.
 
     The Warrants are exercisable by tendering to the Company the appropriate
exercise price along with the Warrant Certificate (with the "Election to
Purchase" addendum properly filled out). Upon exercise, the Company will issue
such fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as are specified on
the Certificate so tendered and deliver to the holder thereof such additional
securities as are required by the terms thereof. Payment of the exercise price
shall be made in cash or by certified check or bank draft made payable to the
order of the Company. The Warrants may be subject to redemption by the Company.
See "DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES."
 
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     The Selling Security Holders are offering shares of Common Stock for their
own account and not for the account of the Company. The Company will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Security
Holders.
 
     Each Selling Security Holder will, prior to any sales, agree (a) not to
effect any offers or sales of the Common Stock in any manner other than as
specified in this Prospectus, (b) to inform the Company of any sale of Common
Stock at least one business day prior to such sale and (c) not to purchase or
induce others to purchase Common Stock in violation of Regulation M under the
Exchange Act.
 
     The shares of Common Stock may be sold from time to time to purchasers
directly by any of the Selling Security Holders acting as principals for their
own accounts in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market or in
negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at
prices otherwise negotiated. Alternatively, the shares of Common Stock may be
offered from time to time through agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters
designated from time to time, and such agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters
may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from the
Selling Security Holders or the purchasers of the Common Stock.
 
     Under the Exchange Act, and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged
in a distribution of the shares of Common Stock of the Company offered by this
Prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company during the applicable "cooling off"
periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, and without
limiting the foregoing, each Selling Security Holder will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder including, without limitation, Rule 15c2-6, and Regulation M, which
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common Stock by the
Selling Security Holder. There are possible limitations upon trading activities
and restrictions upon broker-dealers effecting transactions in certain
securities which may also materially affect the value of, and an investor's
ability to dispose of, the Company's securities. See "RISK FACTORS."
 
     The Company will use its best efforts to file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, one or more post-effective amendments to the
Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, to describe any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Prospectus or any material change to such information in this

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
 
     Organization and History -- Schuylkill Acquisition Corp. ("the Company" or
"SAC") was incorporated in Florida on May 28, 1997, for the purpose of acquiring
by merger the business and operations of Jet Aviation Trading, Inc. ("Old Jet")
upon the completion of a stock offering by the Company. On July 28, 1997, the
Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Old Jet in exchange for
1,776,800 shares of common stock of the Company in a one for one stock exchange.
Old Jet was incorporated in the state of Florida on October 3, 1996 for the
purpose of buying, selling, leasing and exchanging spare parts for fixed-wing
commercial jet transport aircraft. Effective July 28, 1997, the Company's name
was changed from Schuylkill Acquisition Corp. to Jet Aviation Trading, Inc.
 
     Merger and Recapitalization -- The merger was completed on July 28, 1997,
whereby SAC acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Old Jet in exchange
for 1,776,800 shares of common stock of SAC in a one for one stock exchange. The
merger has been accounted for as a purchase.
 
     The effect of the transaction was a reverse merger, whereas SAC changed its
name to Jet Aviation Trading, Inc. and Old Jet became the acquiring entity and
accounting survivor. Accordingly, the historical financial statements presented
are those of the accounting survivor, Old Jet, and the stockholders' equity of
the merged Company was recapitalized to reflect the capital structure of the
surviving legal entity and the accumulated deficit of Old Jet at the time of
merger.
 
     Nature of Business and Credit Policies -- The Company buys, sells, leases
and exchanges spare parts for fixed-wing commercial jet transport aircraft. The
Company's customers are primarily commercial passenger and cargo operators,
original equipment manufacturers and Federal Aviation Administration and Joint
Aviation Authority repair stations throughout the world. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and extends
credit to its customers based upon its evaluations. If creditworthiness is
questionable, parts are shipped COD. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
based upon the expected collection of accounts receivable.
 
     Cash Equivalents -- The Company considers all highly liquid instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
     Revenue and Cost Recognition -- The Company recognizes revenue when parts
are shipped to the customer. Amounts paid in advance are recorded as deferred
income and recognized in the period in which the parts are shipped.
 
     Inventories -- Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of
aircraft parts is determined on a specific identification basis. When parts are
purchased in lots, the individual parts are expensed at a predetermined
percentage of the sales price until the cost of the lot is recovered. Costs to
repair, inspect and/or modify the parts are charged to the specific part when
incurred.
 
     Deferred Offering Costs -- Amounts paid or accrued for costs related to the
anticipated public offering will be recorded as a reduction of the proceeds when
the offering is completed. If the offering is not completed, the costs will be
expensed.
 
     Income Taxes -- The Company accounts for income taxes on an asset and
liability approach for financial accounting. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in
taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is
the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

                           JET AVIATION TRADING, INC.
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Net Income Per Share -- Net income per common share is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. Warrants issued during the period are not considered dilutive, and
therefore, are not included in the computation of net income per share.
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 128,
"Earnings Per Share". The adoption of SFAS 128 did not have an effect on the
computation of earnings per share because the effective date is December 15,
1997, and earlier application is not permitted.
 
     Recoverability of Long Lived Assets -- The Company has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." The Statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company is not aware of
any events or circumstances which indicate the existence of an impairment which
would be material to the Company's financial statements.
 
     Financial Instruments -- The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value as of August 31,
1997. The carrying value of the stockholder's note receivable at August 31,
1997, approximates fair value.
 
     Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates based on
management's knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could differ
from those estimates.
 
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
CONSIGNMENT AGREEMENT WITH RELATED PARTY
 
     The Company entered into a Consignment Agreement (the "Agreement") with a
related party, Jet Avionics Systems, Inc. ("Avionics"), effective October 3,
1996, wherein the Company agreed to sell certain consignment inventory of
technical spare parts belonging to Avionics and pay Avionics 75% of the sales
price collected for the inventory sold. The sales price is the gross sales price
less any costs involved if any item of inventory is required to be overhauled,

the inventory under the Agreement was $675,000. Pursuant to such Agreement, the
Company sold approximately $452,000 of parts during the year to third parties

entered into a Consignment Cancellation and Purchase Agreement whereby the
Company purchased the remaining inventory not sold with a value of approximately
$336,000 from Avionics and thereafter paid the balance of $639,000 in exchange
for 230,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $2.00 per share, the
cancellation of $175,000 of indebtedness of Avionics due the Company, and $4,000

ITEM 28.  UNDERTAKING.
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
 
          (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
             (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act;
 
             (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
        individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
        information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the
        foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
        the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
        was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
        estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
        prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the
        aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a
        20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
        "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
        statement.
 
             (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
        plan of distribution.
 
          (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
     post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
     offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
     bona fide offering.
 
          (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
     the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
person of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
     In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling persons of the undersigned in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
undersigned will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

                      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION


         AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION, dated July 15 1997, by and 
between JET AVIATION TRADING, INC., a Florida corporation ("Jet") and SCHUYLKILL

         2.1      CONVERSION OF JET SHARES.

                  (a) At the Effective Time, each then outstanding share of
common stock of Jet (the "Jet Common Stock") (other than Dissenting Shares as
defined in Section 2.4) shall cease to be an existing and issued share by virtue
of the Merger and without any action on the part of SAC, Jet or the holder
thereof shall be canceled in exchange for one share of common stock of SAC (the
"SAC Common Stock").

                  (b) All shares of Jet Common Stock (the "Jet Shares") or other
securities held in the treasury of Jet immediately prior to the Effective Time,
shall be canceled and cease to exist at and after the Effective Time, and no
consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

         2.2      CLOSING OF JET TRANSFER BOOKS. At and after the Effective 
Time, holders of certificates representing Jet Shares shall cease to have any
rights as stockholders of Jet, the stock transfer books of Jet shall be closed
with respect to Jet Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, and no further transfer of such shares shall thereafter be made
on such stock transfer books. If, after the Effective Time, valid certificates
previously representing such shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation,
they shall be exchanged as provided in Section 2.3.

         2.3      EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES. Jet or SAC shall transmit to the
holders of the Jet Shares (the "Recipient Holders") appropriate documents,
including a form of transmittal letter substantially as attached hereto as
Exhibit "C" (the "Transmittal Letter"), to be used by them to surrender their
certificates representing Jet Shares in exchange for SAC Common Stock
certificates (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"), in each case to the
extent provided in Section 2.1 hereof. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each
certificate for Jet Shares held by Recipient Holders, shall represent solely the
right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the Jet Shares it
theretofore represented shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1 (or to
perfect the holder thereof's right to receive payment for such shares pursuant
to Section 607.1301 et. seq. of the BCA and Section 2.4 hereof); provide
however, that customary and appropriate certifications and indemnities allowing
exchange against lost or destroyed certificates shall be provided; and provided
further that nothing in this Section 2.3 shall require SAC to deliver its Common
Stock to any Recipient Holder who shall fail to surrender a certificate
representing such shares (or the certification and indemnities relating to a
lost certificate) together with a Transmittal Letter duly completed and executed
by such Recipient Holder.

         2.4      DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, Jet Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who have not voted such
shares in favor of the Merger and who have delivered a written demand for
appraisal of such shares in the manner and at the time provided in Section
607.1301, et. seq. of the BCA ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be canceled
without consideration or canceled and converted into shares of SAC Common Stock
unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect


                                       3


<PAGE>   4

or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such holder's appraisal rights
under the BCA. If such holder shall have so failed to perfect, or shall have
effectively withdrawn or lost such rights, such holder's Shares shall thereupon
be deemed to have been canceled or converted as described in Section 2.1 at the
Effective Time, and each such share held by a Recipient Holder shall represent
solely the right to receive the shares of SAC Common Stock into which the Jet
Shares it theretofore constituted shall have been converted pursuant to Section
2.1. From and after the Effective Time, no stockholder who has demanded the
appraisal of shares as provided in Section 607.1301 et. seq., of the BCA shall
be entitled to vote such holder's shares for any purpose or to receive payment
of dividends or other distributions with respect to such holder's shares (except
dividends and other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date
which is prior to the Effective Time). Such stockholders who have demanded the
appraisal of shares shall only be entitled to receive consideration as provided
in Section 607.1301 et. seq., of the BCA.

         2.5      INVESTMENT INTENT. The SAC Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be resold
unless the Shares are registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Each certificate representing the SAC Shares will
have a legend thereon incorporating language as follows:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                  "Act"). The shares have been acquired for investment and may
                  not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective
                  Registration Statement for the shares under the Act unless in
                  the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company,
                  registration is not required under the Act."

         2.6      CAPITAL STOCK OF SAC. Each share of common stock, and all
rights, options and warrants to purchase Common Stock ("Stock Purchase Rights")
of SAC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
become shares and Stock Purchase Rights of the Surviving Corporation after the
Merger and together with all the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
Section 2.1(a) shall at the Effective Time constitute all of the issued and
outstanding shares and Stock Purchase Rights of the Surviving Corporation. Each
stock certificate or agreement of SAC evidencing ownership of any such shares
and Stock Purchase Rights shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares
and Stock Purchase Rights of the Surviving Corporation.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 1. Actions in General. The Corporation shall indemnify any
person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he 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, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as trustee or administrator or in

                                       12

<PAGE>   13



any other fiduciary capacity under any pension, profit sharing, deferred
compensation or other plan, or any employee welfare benefit plan of the
Corporation. The indemnification shall be against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgment, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceedings, he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.

         Section 2. Action By or In Right of Corporation. The Corporation shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the
right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he 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, or is or was serving as a trustee or
administrator or in any other fiduciary capacity under any person,


                                       13

<PAGE>   14



profit sharing, deferred compensation or other plan, or any employee welfare
benefit plan of the Corporation. The indemnification shall be against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense and settlement of the action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue, or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation
unless (and only to the extent that) the court in which the action or suit was
brought, or a court of equity in the county in which the Corporation has its
principal office, determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the court shall deem
proper.

         Section 3. Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Any
indemnification under Sections 1 or 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case
upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, Officer, employee,
agent, trustee, administrator or other fiduciary is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said Sections
1 or 2. The determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a
unanimous vote of all of the Directors then in office who were not parties to
the action, suit or proceeding, or, (2) if the disinterested Directors so
direct, the determination of the propriety of any


                                       14

<PAGE>   15



indemnification under this Article shall be made, in a written opinion, by
independent legal counsel, (i.e., a lawyer who is not a Director, Officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation or such other corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or is not or was not serving at the
request of the Corporation as a trustee or administrator or in any other
fiduciary capacity under any pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation or
other plan, or any employee welfare benefit plan of the Corporation, and who is
not a partner or professional associate of any Director, Officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise), or (3) by the unanimous vote of all disinterested
Stockholders.

         Section 4. Indemnification Against Expenses Incurred in Successful
Defense. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Articles of Incorporation of
the Corporation, to the extent that a Director, Officer, employee, agent,
trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of the Corporation has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in Sections 1 or 2, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein
mentioned, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, no
determination pursuant to Section 1 shall be required in such instance.

         Section 5. Payment of Expenses in Advance of Final Disposition of
Action. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance
of the final


                                       15

<PAGE>   16



disposition thereof if authorized in the specific case by a preliminary
determination, following the procedures set forth in Section 3, that there is a
reasonable basis for a belief that the Director, Officer, employee, agent,
trustee, administrator or other fiduciary met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in Sections 1 or 2, but only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Director, Officer, employee, agent, trustee, administrator or
other fiduciary reasonably assuring that such amount will be repaid unless it
shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
Corporation as authorized in this Article.

         Section 6. Non-Exclusive Right to Indemnity Inures to Benefit of Heirs
and Personal Representatives. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be
in addition to all rights to which any such Director, Officer, employee, agent,
trustee, administrator or other fiduciary may be entitled as a matter of law,
and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such a Director, Officer,
employee, agent, trustee, administrator or other fiduciary and inure to the
benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such person.

         Section 7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a trustee
or administrator or in any other fiduciary capacity under any pension, profit
sharing, deferred compensation or other plan, or any employee welfare benefit
plan of the Corporation, against any liability asserted against him and incurred
by him in any such capacity, or arising out


                                       16

<PAGE>   17


of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or
would be required to indemnify him against the liability under the provisions of
this Article or of the laws of this State.

         Section 8. Gender. Whenever used in this Article X, the masculine
gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders.

         Section 9. Certain Persons not to be Indemnified. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Article X, the Corporation shall not indemnify any
bank, trust company, investment adviser, or any actuary against any liability
which they may have by reason of their acting as a "fiduciary" of any employee
benefit plan (as that term is defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act, as amended from time to time) established for the benefit of this
Corporation's employees.

exercise price per share equal to $4.50, at any time during the period
beginning June 1, 1997 (the "Commencement Date") and ending at 5:00 p.m.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time on June 30, 2002 (the "Termination Date"). The
number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the price to be paid for a share of Common Stock may be adjusted
from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the exercise price of
a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time
is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price". 

         (a)   Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section (h)
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from
time to time on or after the Commencement Date until the Termination Date or,
if either such day is a day on which banking institutions in the State of
Florida are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day which
shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at
its principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer agent, with
the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of
the Exercise price for the number of shares specified in such form in lawful
money of the United States of America in cash or by official bank or certified
check made payable to Schuylkill Acquisition Corp. If this Warrant shall be
exercised in part only, the Company shall upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable thereunder.
Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the stock
transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise and
together with payment of the Exercise Price in the manner provided herein, the
Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock
or other securities issuable upon such exercise provided, however, that if at
the date of surrender of such Warrants and payment of such Exercise Price the
transfer books for the Common Stock or such other securities shall be closed,
the certificates for the shares or other securities in respect of which such
Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which such
books shall next be opened and until such date the Company shall be under 































<PAGE>   2
no duty to deliver any certificate for such shares or other securities and the
Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder or record of such shares or
the owners of such other securities.

         (b)   Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all
times there shall be reserved for issuance and or delivery upon exercise of
this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for
issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.

         (c)   Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares on the exercise of Warrants. If any fraction of a share
would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable on the exercise of
any Warrant, the Company will (i) if the fraction of a share otherwise issuable
is equal to less than one-half, round down and issue to the Holder only the
largest whole number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is otherwise
entitled, or (ii) if the fraction of a share otherwise issuable is greater than
one-half, round-up and issue to the Holder one additional share of Common Stock
in addition to the largest whole number of shares of Common Stock to which the
holder is otherwise entitled.

         (d)   Exchange, Transfer, Assignment or Loss of Warrant. This Warrant
is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon
presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock
transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling
the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Subject to the provisions of Section (h),
upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or the office of its stock
transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed
and funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer tax, the Company shall,
without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee
named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants which
carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or
at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued and signed by the Holder thereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein
includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) of such indemnification as the Company may in its discretion
impose, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the
Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

         (e)   Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in
equity and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the
Warrant are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth
herein.

         (f)   Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Exercise Price and the number and
kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as hereafter provided.

         (i)   In the case of the Company issuing Common Stock as a dividend
upon Common Stock or in payment of a dividend thereon shall subdivide the
number of outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of
outstanding shares or shall contract the number








































<PAGE>   3
of outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, the
Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted, effective at the close of
business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or be subject to such subdivision or contraction, to the
price (computed to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (A) the product
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to close
of business on such record date by the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding prior to such dividend, subdivision or contraction, by (B) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend,
subdivision or contraction. 

         (ii)   If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company (other than as set forth in subsection (i) of this
section (f), or consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions
shall be made whereby the holder of each Warrant shall thereafter have the
right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified in the Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented by such Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or
assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number
of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the
exercise of the rights represented by such Warrant had such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, and in any
such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions of the Warrants
(including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Exercise Price
and of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants) shall
thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any
shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of
Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale
unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument, the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to
purchase.

         (iii)   Upon such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
subsection (i) of this Section (f), the number of shares of Common Stock
specified in each Warrant shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase that
number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth of a
share of Common Stock) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of such Warrant
and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after such
adjustment.

         (iv)  Irrespective of any adjustments of the number or kind of
securities issuable upon exercise of warrants or the Exercise Price. Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number of
shares of Common Stock and Exercise Price as are stated in similar Warrants
previously issued.

         (v)   The Company may, at its sole option, retain the independent
public accounting firm regularly retained by the Company, or another firm of
independent public



<PAGE>   4


accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company's Board of Directors,
to make any computation required under this Section (f), and a certificate
signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of any computation made under
this Section (f).

                  (vi)   Whenever there is an adjustment in the Exercise Price 
or in the number of kind of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, 
or both, as provided in this Section (f) the Company shall (i) promptly file in
the custody of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary a certificate signed by the
Chairman of the board of the President or Vice President of the Company and by
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant 
Secretary of the Company setting forth the facts requiring such adjustment and
the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of each Warrant after
such adjustment: and (ii) cause a notice stating that such adjustment has been
effected and stating the Exercise Price then in effect and the number and kind
of securities issuable upon exercise of each Warrant to be sent to each
registered holder of a Warrant. 

                  (vii)  The Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable 
upon exercise of a Warrant shall not be adjusted except in the manner and only
upon the occurrence of the events heretofore specifically referred to in this 
Section (f).

                  (viii) The Board of Directors of the company may without the
prior consent of the Holder reduce the Exercise Price or increase the number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of the 
Warrant.

                  (ix)   No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in 
an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such 
adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment 
shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the 
next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried 
forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.

         (g)      Redemption

                  (i)    The Company shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days
written notice to call this Warrant for redemption, in whole or in part at a 
call price of $0.5 per Warrant Share upon the occurrence of both of the 
following events: (a) the listing of the Company's shares of Common Stock on a
securities exchange and (b) the Company's Common Stock trading in excess of 
$5.25 per share for a ten day period.

                  (ii)   In the event the Company shall desire to exercise its
right to so redeem the Warrants it shall mail a notice of redemption to each of 
the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed first class postage 
prepaid not later than the thirtieth (30th)day before the date fixed for
redemption at their last address as shall appear on the records of the Warrants.
Any notice mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder receives such 
notice.

                  (iii)  The notice of redemption shall specify (a) the 
redemption price: (b) the date fixed for redemption: (c) the place where the

<PAGE>   5



(Eastern Daylight Time) on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed
for redemption.  The date fixed for the redemption of the Warrants shall be the
Redemption Date.  No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in
the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such
redemption except as to a Holder (i) to whom notice was not mailed or (ii) whose
notice was defective.  An affidavit of any agent of the company that notice of
redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud be prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein.  Any document of the notice, or affidavit
of the person making the hand delivery and any document evidencing delivery by
U.S. Mail to Holder's address such as a certified mail receipt, shall be
conclusive evidence of delivery of notice to Holder.

                (iv)    Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00
p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on the business day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date.  On or after the Redemption Date. Holders of the Warrants

presentation and surrender to the Company by or on behalf of the Registered
Holder thereof of one or more Warrants to be redeemed deliver or cause to be
delivered to or upon the written order of such Holder a sum in cash equal to
the redemption price of each such Warrant.  From and after the date fixed for
redemption and upon the deposit or setting aside by the Company of a sum
sufficient to redeem all the Warrants called for redemption such Warrants shall
expire and become void and all rights hereunder and under the Warrant
certificates except the right to receive payment of the redemption price shall
cease.

                (h)     Transfer to Company with the Securities Act of 1933 and
Other Applicable Securities Laws.  This Warrant or the Warrant Shares or any
other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be sold
or otherwise disposed of unless the Holder provides the Company with an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to the Company in form satisfactory to the Company that
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be legally transferred without violating
the Act and any other applicable securities laws and then, if such opinion
states that certificates representing the Warrants or

<PAGE>   5



ARTICLE TWENTY SEVENTH: OPTION TO RENEW

     Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to
Landlord at least six months prior to the expiration of the original term of
this lease, to renew this lease for two additional one year options upon all of
the terms and conditions provided in the original lease.  For the purposes of
Cost of Living Adjustment Article, there shall be three (3) "adjustment months"
during the renewal period, which shall be the month during each year of the
renewal period which corresponds with the month in which the term of this lease
first commenced, so that there shall be a cost of living adjustment as provided
herein during each option year of the renewal period, including the first year
thereof.

     For purposes of application of the cost of living increase during the
option period the basic monthly rental shall be the original monthly rental

Tenant is not in default of this agreement.

ARTICLE TWENTY EIGHTH:  LANDLORD'S WORK

warehouse building properly shall be increased for any tax year over the amount
of such taxes payable for the tax year immediately following the year in which
this Lease is executed (such tax year being hereinafter called "base year" and
the taxes payable in the base year being hereinafter called basic taxes"),
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, within 10 days after Landlord
shall notify Tenant of such increase, an amount equal to Tenants' proportionate
share of the tax increase in the ratio that Tenant's floor area bears to the
floor area of all rented and rentable space in the warehouse building. Landlord
shall take the benefit of the provisions of any statute or any ordinance
permitting any such assessment to be paid over a period of time, and Tenant
shall be obligated to pay only the said portion of the installments of any

Lease. Base year is 1997.
<PAGE>   6
ARTICLE THIRTY:  ASSESSMENTS

proportionate share of any assessments of installments thereof for public
betterments or improvements which may be levied on the land or buildings
comprising the warehouse building and which are not deductible from any
condemnation award. Tenant's proportionate share shall be in the ratio that
Tenants' floor area bears to the floor area of all rented and rentable space in
the warehouse building.  Landlord shall take the benefit of the provisions of
any statute or ordinance permitting any such assessment to be paid over a
period of time, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay only the said portion of
the installments of any such assessments which shall become due and payable
during the term of this lease. Base year is 1997.


ARTICLE THIRTY FIRST:  INSURANCE INCREASES

extended coverage insurance policy carried by Landlord, covering the warehouse
building in which the Demised Premises are located, shall be increased for any
year over the amount of such insurance premiums for the year immediately
following the year in which this Lease is executed (such year being hereinafter
called "Base Year" and the insurance premium payable in the Base Year being
hereinafter called the "Basic Premium"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent within 10 days after Landlord shall notify Tenant of such
increase, an amount equal to the proportion of the insurance premium increase in
the ratio that Tenant's floor area bears to the floor area of all rented and
rentable space in the warehouse building. Base year in 1997.

ARTICLE THIRTY FIRST:  SUNSHINE STATE INDUSTRIAL PARK

     Tenant agrees that, during the term hereof, it will pay as additional rent
its proportionate share of any assessments imposed by Sunshine State Industrial
Park Association, Inc. in furtherance of its purposes as set forth in said
Declaration dated December 28, 1958.  If Landlord shall so require, the Tenant
shall pay the Association directly.

ARTICLE THIRTY SECOND:  COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT

     Commencing with each of the "adjustment months" described below Tenant
shall pay as additional rent, an amount computed in accordance with the
following provisions:  
<PAGE>   7
        (A)  Landlord shall compute the percentage increase, if any, of the
cost of living for each year based upon the "Consumer Price Index Cities"
(1967-100)(hereinafter called the "Index"), published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.  The index number
indicated in the column for U.S. city Average entitled "All Items" for said
month shall be the "current index number", and the corresponding index number
for the month immediately preceding the month in which the term of this Lease
commences shall be the "base index number".  The excess of the current index
number over the base index number, expressed in a percentage, shall be
multiplied by the minimum rent payable hereunder, and the resulting amount
shall be the increase required to be determined hereunder. The minimum rent as
so adjusted shall be due and payable to Landlord in equal monthly installments
commencing with the month after the month with respect to which such
computation shall have been made.

        (B)  If publication of the Index shall be discontinued, the parties
shall accept comparable statistics on the cost of living as shall then be
computed and published by an agency of the United States, or, if none, by a
respected financial periodical selected by the parties, or, if they cannot
agree, by arbitration.

        (C)  There shall be four (4) adjustment months, each of which shall be
the month which is the annual anniversary of the month when the term of this
lease commenced, so that there shall be a cost of living adjustment for each
year during the term of this lease as well as any option periods, if any,
commencing with the first month of the second year of the lease term.

        (D)  Provided, however, during the initial term and any exercised
option period of this lease the annual rent shall never be increased in any
single year by more than 5% of the minimum rental due in the preceding year. 
The minimum increase shall be 2%.  Therefore, the annual base rent shall be
increased annually by at least 2%, but not more than 5%.

ARTICLE THIRTY THIRD: SECURITY

The Tenant has this day deposited with the Landlord the first and last month's
rent in the sum of $9,817.98, as security for the full, and faithful
performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
lease upon Tenant's part to be performed, which said sum shall be returned to
Tenant 10 days after the time fixed as the expiration of the term hereof,
provided that Tenant has fully and faithfully carried out all of said terms,
covenants and conditions on Tenant's part to be performed.  Landlord shall have
the right, but not obligation to apply any part of said deposit to cure any
default of Tenant;
<PAGE>   8
and, if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon demand, deposit with Landlord the
amount so applied, so that Landlord shall have the full deposit on hand at all
times during the term of this lease.  In the event of a sale of the building or
lease of the land on which it stands, subject to this lease, Landlord shall
have the right to transfer the security to the vendee or lessee, and, Landlord
shall be considered released by Tenant from all liability for the return of
such security and Tenant shall look to the new Landlord solely for the return
of said security, and it is agreed that this shall apply to every transfer or
assignment made of the security to a new Landlord.  The security deposited 
under this lease shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered by Tenant 
without the written consent of Landlord, an any attempt to do so shall be void.

        One half of the security deposit will be considered last months rent.
This will be used as the last months rent only if tenant is in good standing,
and not in default of the lease agreement.  The tenant will be responsible for
the deficit of the rental amount due to cost of living adjustments.  If Tenant
shall lease from Landlord additional space in the building, Tenant shall pay
additional security deposit to landlord in the amount of first and last month's
rent for the additional space.

ARTICLE THIRTY FOURTH: BROKERAGE

        Tenant represents and warrants that it has not had any dealings with
any broker in connection with the bringing about of this lease or in connection
with Tenant's having been introduced to Landlord.  Without limiting the effect
of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against
any claim or demand made by any real estate broker or agent claiming to have
dealt with or consulted with Tenant or any of Tenant's representatives,
employees or agents contrary to the foregoing representation and warranty.

ARTICLE THIRTY FIFTH: ELECTRIC

        Tenant recognized Landlord will supply electric to all areas of tenants
leased premises.  Landlord will install an electric meter in the leased
premises at Landlord's cost and expense.  Tenant shall pay for the usage of all
utilities directly to the utility companies.


<PAGE>   9
ARTICLE THIRTY SIXTH: QUIET ENJOYMENT

        Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying the rent and performing all
the covenants and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed,
shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises
for the term aforesaid, subject to the mortgages hereinbefore mentioned.

ARTICLE THIRTY SEVENTH: SUBORDINATION

        This lease shall be subject and subordinate to all mortgages, ground or
unerlying leases which may now or hereafter affect the premises of which the
Demised Premises form a part, whether such mortgages cover only the Demised
Premises or be a blanket mortgage covering other premises in addition to the
Demised Premises, and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements or extensions thereof. Although this provision of this lease shall
constitute the subordination itself, Tenant shall, if so requested by Landlord,
execute promptly any certificate or subordination agreement that Landlord may
request in confirmation of such subordination.

                  the purchaser which may be identified with a vendor number
                  for the convenience of the parties. Payment for such sales
                  shall be due five days after submittal of the report but, in
                  any event, no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the

                  for demand obligation in effect at the date this Consignment
                  Agreement is executed, as determined by the Internal Revenue

                  $500,000 in payments from CONSIGNEE hereunder, CONSIGNEE may
                  apply the next monies due OWNER hereunder to the unpaid
                  principal and interest due on said promissory note. (g) If
                  CONSIGNEE shall have made an initial public offering of
                  equity securities during the term hereof and shall have
                  raised at such offering net proceeds to CONSIGNEE of
                  $5,000,000 or more, then CONSIGNEE shall pay to OWNER in

                           herein, with respect to the Inventory or any other
                           equipment or parts delivered by OWNER to CONSIGNEE
                           hereunder including any items of Inventory
                           overhauled/repaired or recertified; and

                           (rotable, repairable and/or engine) will be
                           accompanied with traceability to a commercial
                           aviation regulated source.

                           third parties other than its financial and legal
                           advisers; and,

                  (b)      to maintain confidentiality of all information
                           exchanged between the parties, including pricing
                           information and other proprietary knowledge, held as
                           confidential between OWNER and OWNER's suppliers and
                           CONSIGNEE and CONSIGNEE's customers, and not to use
                           such for the benefit of any third party.

                  Such confidentiality shall survive the Term of this
                  Agreement.

         8.       Applicable Law: The provisions of this Agreement and all

                                                                    Exhibit 10.5


                               STOCK OPTION PLAN

         Jet Aviation Trading, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company") sets
forth herein the terms of this Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") as follows:

         1.       PURPOSE

         The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company by
providing eligible individuals (as designated pursuant to Section 4 below) with
an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company,
which will thereby create a stronger incentive to expend maximum effort for the
growth and success of the Company and its subsidiaries, and will encourage such
eligible individuals to remain in the employ or service of the Company or that
of one or more of its subsidiaries. Each stock option granted under the Plan
(an "Option") is intended to be an "incentive stock option" ("Incentive Stock
Option") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, or the corresponding provision of any subsequently-enacted tax statute,
as amended from time to time (the "Code"), except (i) to the extent that any
such Option would exceed the limitations set forth in Section 7 below; (ii) for
Options specifically designated at the time of grant as not being "incentive
stock options"; and (iii) for Options granted to consultants or to members of
the board of directors of the Company who are not officers or other employees
of the Company or any "subsidiary corporation" (a "Subsidiary") thereof within
the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code or to directors of any Subsidiary who
are not officers or other salaried employees of the Company (a "Subsidiary
Director"). If any Options granted hereunder shall, for any reason, fail to
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, they shall nevertheless be deemed options
issued by the Company pursuant to the Plan and for tax purposes shall be
"non-qualified stock options."

         2.       ADMINISTRATION

                           (a) Board. The Plan shall be administered by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), which shall have the full
power and authority to take all actions, and to make all determinations
required or provided for under the Plan or any Option or Option Agreement (as
defined in Section 8 below) entered into hereunder and all such other actions
and determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of
the Plan deemed by the Board to be necessary or appropriate to the
administration of the Plan or any Option granted or Option Agreement entered
into hereunder. All such actions and determinations shall be by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the members of the Board present at a meeting at which
any issue relating to the Plan is properly raised for consideration or without
a meeting by written consent of the Board executed in accordance with the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, and with applicable law. The
interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of the Plan or of
any Option granted or Option Agreement entered into hereunder shall be final
and conclusive.

                           (b) Committee. The Board may appoint a Stock Option
Committee (the "Committee"), which may be the compensation committee,
consisting of not less than two members of the Board, none of whom shall be an
officer or other salaried employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
and each of whom shall qualify in all respects as a "non-employee director" as




<PAGE>   2



defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") and as an "outside director" under Section
162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code. The Committee shall be solely responsible for
those actions and responsibilities which are required to be taken by outside
directors to qualify for the exceptions under Code ss.162(m) and the
regulations thereunder for performance-based compensation. The Board, in its
sole discretion, may provide that the role of the Committee shall be otherwise
limited to making recommendations to the Board concerning any determinations to
be made and actions to be taken by the Board pursuant to or with respect to the
Plan, or the Board may delegate to the Committee such powers and authorities
related to the administration of the Plan, as set forth in Section 2(a) above,
as the Board shall determine, consistent with the Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws of the Company and applicable law. The Board may remove members, add
members, and fill vacancies on the Committee from time to time, all in
accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, and with
applicable law. The majority vote of the Committee, or acts reduced to or
approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee, shall be the
valid acts of the Committee.

                           (c) No Liability. No member of the Board or of the
Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith
with respect to the Plan or any Option granted or Option Agreement entered into
hereunder, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any member of the
Board or Committee from any and all damages, losses or claims, including
reasonable attorneys fees, arising from their actions (or inactions) in
connection with this Plan or its administration.

                           (d) Delegation to the Committee. In the event that
the Plan or any Option granted or Option Agreement entered into hereunder
provides for any action to be taken by or determination to be made by the
Board, such action may be taken by or such determination may be made by the
Committee if the power and authority to do so has been delegated to the
Committee by the Board as provided for in Section 2(b) above. Unless otherwise
expressly determined by the Board, any such action or determination by the
Committee shall be final and conclusive.

                           (e) Action by the Board. The Board may act under the
Plan with respect to any Option granted to or Option Agreement entered into
with an officer, director or stockholder of the Company who is subject to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") other than by, or in accordance with the recommendations of, the
Committee, constituted as set forth in Section 2(b) above, only if the Plan is
otherwise administered in accordance with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 and if
the provision of Code ss.162(m) are not applicable to such recommendations.

         3.       STOCK

         The stock that may be issued pursuant to Options granted under the
Plan shall be shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company
(the "Stock"), which shares may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued
shares. The number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall not exceed in the

                                       2


<PAGE>   3



aggregate 750,000 shares. The foregoing numbers of shares are subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 18 below. If any Option expires, terminates,
or is terminated or canceled for any reason prior to exercise in full, the
shares of Stock that were subject to the unexercised portion of such Option
shall be available for future Options granted under the Plan and such number of
shares shall be restored to the number of shares available for issuance under
Options granted.

         4.       ELIGIBILITY

                           (a) Employees and Subsidiary Directors. Options may
be granted under the Plan to any employee or consultant of the Company or any
Subsidiary (including any such employee who is an officer or director of the
Company or any Subsidiary) or to any Subsidiary Director as the Board or
Committee shall determine and designate from time to time prior to the
expiration or termination of the Plan.

                           (b) Outside Directors. On the day of each annual
meeting of the Stockholders of the Company, each director who is not then an
employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (an "Outside Director"),
shall be granted an Option to purchase 5000 shares of Stock, in each case at
the price and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Plan. In
addition, subject to the availability of shares of Stock under the Plan, each
person first elected to the Board as an Outside Director after the effective
date of the Plan, shall be granted, as of the date such individual takes
office, an Option to purchase 10000 shares of Stock at the price and upon the
terms and conditions specified in the Plan. Each Option granted to an Outside
Director shall be granted at an Option Price equal to 100 percent of the fair
market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (determined under Section
9 below) and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Plan. Except
as provided in this Section 4(b), no Outside Director shall be eligible to be
granted Options under this Plan.

                           (c) Multiple Grants. An individual may hold more
than one Option subject to such restrictions as are provided herein.

         5.       EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMS OF THE PLAN

                           (a) Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective and
considered adopted as of September 1, 1997, subject to approval of the Plan
within one year of such effective date by a majority of the votes present and
entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of the stockholders of the Company at
which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock is
present, either in person or by proxy; provided, however, that upon approval of
the Plan by stockholders of the Company as set forth above, all Options granted
under the Plan on or after the effective date shall be fully effective as if
the stockholders of the Company had approved the Plan on the effective date. If
the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within one year of such effective
date, any Options granted hereunder shall be null and void and of no effect.

                           (b) Term. The Plan shall terminate on August 31,
2007.

                                       3


<PAGE>   4



         6.       GRANT OF OPTIONS

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board or Committee
may, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date of termination of the
Plan, grant to such eligible individuals as the Board or Committee may determine
("Optionees"), Options to purchase such number of shares of the Stock on such
terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may determine, including any
terms or conditions which may be necessary to qualify such Option as "incentive
stock options" under Section 422 of the Code. The date on which the Board or
Committee approves the grant of an Option (or such later date as is specified by
the Board or Committee) shall be considered the date on which such Option is
granted.

         7.       LIMITATION ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

         An Option (other than an Option described in exception (ii) or (iii)
of Section 1) shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option to the extent that the
aggregate fair market value of Stock (determined at the time the Option is
granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all
other plans of the Optionee's employer corporation and its parent and
subsidiary corporations within the meaning of Section 422(d) of the Code) does
not exceed $100,000. This limitation shall be applied by taking Options into
account in the order in which they were granted.

         8.       OPTION AGREEMENTS

         All Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by written
agreements ("Option Agreements"), to be executed by the Company and by the
Optionee, in such form or forms and containing such provisions as the Board or
Committee shall from time to time determine. Option Agreements covering Options
granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar
provisions; provided, however, that all such Option Agreements shall comply
with all terms of the Plan.

         9.       OPTION PRICE

         The purchase price of each share of the Stock subject to an Option
(the "Option Price") shall be fixed by the Board or Committee and stated in
each Option Agreement, and shall be not less than 100 percent (or, in the case
of an Option which does not or is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock
option, not less than 50 percent) of the fair market value of a share of Stock
on the date the Option is granted (as determined in good faith by the Board or
Committee); provided, however, that in the event the Optionee would otherwise
be ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the provisions
of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code (relating to stock ownership of
more than ten percent), the Option Price of an Option that is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the fair market
value of a share of Stock at the time such Option is granted. In the event that
the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is
admitted to quotation on the Nasdaq National Market System, or is publicly
traded on

                                       4


<PAGE>   5



an established securities market, in determining the fair market value of the
Stock, the Board or Committee shall use the closing price of the Stock on such
exchange or System or in such market (the highest such closing price if there
is more than one such exchange or market) on the trading date the Option is
granted (or, if there is no such closing price, then the Board or Committee
shall use the mean between the high and low prices on such date or if
unavailable the mean between the high and low bid prices on such date), or, if
no sale (or bid) of the Stock had been made on such day, on the next preceding
day on which any such sale (or bid) shall have been made.

         10.      TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTION

                           (a) Term. Each Option granted under the Plan shall
terminate and all rights to purchase shares thereunder shall cease upon the
expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted, or, with respect
to Options granted to persons other than Outside Directors, on such date prior
thereto as may be fixed by the Board or Committee and stated in the Option
Agreement relating to such Option; provided, however, that in the event the
Optionee would otherwise be ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option by
reason of the provisions of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code (relating
to stock ownership of more than ten percent), an Option granted to such
Optionee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, shall in no event be
exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date it is granted.

                           (b) Option Period and Limitations on Exercise. Each
Option granted to persons other than Outside Directors under the Plan shall be
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, over a
period commencing on or after the date of grant and ending upon the expiration
or termination of the Option, as the Board or Committee shall determine and as
set forth in the Option Agreement relating to such Option. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Board or Committee, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, may in its sole discretion provide that an Option may not be exercised in
whole or in part for any period or periods of time during which such Option is
outstanding; provided, however, that any such limitation on the exercise of an
Option contained in any Option Agreement may be rescinded, modified or waived
by the Board or Committee, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to
time after the date of such Option, so as to accelerate that time at which the
Option may be exercised. Subject to Section 10(a), each Option granted to
Outside Directors shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time, over a period commencing on the date of grant and ending
upon the expiration of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Option granted to an
Optionee under the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part prior to the
date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided in
Section 5 above.

                           (c) Method of Exercise. An Option that is
exercisable hereunder may be exercised by delivery to the Company on any
business day, at its principal office, addressed to the attention of the
Committee (or Board if no Committee), of written notice of exercise, which
notice shall specify the number of shares with respect to which the Option is
being exercised. The minimum number of shares of Stock with respect to which an
Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, shall be the lesser
of 100 shares or the maximum number of shares available

                                       5


<PAGE>   6



for purchase under the Option at the time of exercise. Except as provided in
the next following sentence, payment in full of the Option Price of the shares
for which the Option is being exercised shall accompany the written notice of
exercise of the Option and shall be made either (i) in cash or in cash
equivalents; (ii) through the tender to the Company of shares of Stock,
including the shares of Stock subject to the Option being exercised, which
shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the
Option Price has been paid thereby, at their fair market value (determined in
the manner described in Section 9 above) on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a
combination of the methods described in (i) and (ii); provided, however, that
the Board or Committee may in its discretion impose and set forth in the Option
Agreement pertaining to an Option granted to persons other than Outside
Directors such limitations or prohibitions on the use of shares of Stock to
exercise Options as it deems appropriate. Unless the Board or Committee shall
provide otherwise, in the case of an Option Agreement relating to an Option
granted to someone other than an Outside Director, payment in full of the
Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided the
notice of exercise directs that the Stock certificate or certificates for the
shares for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker
acceptable to the Company as the agent for the individual exercising the Option
and, at the time such Stock certificate or certificates are delivered, the
broker tenders to the Company cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Company) equal to the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant
to the exercise of the Option plus the amount (if any) of federal and other
taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with
respect to the exercise of the Option. An attempt to exercise any Option
granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no
force and effect. Promptly after the exercise of an Option and the payment in
full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, the individual
exercising the Option shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock certificate
or certificates evidencing his ownership of such shares. A separate Stock
certificate or certificates shall be issued for any shares purchased pursuant
to the exercise of an Option which is an Incentive Stock Option which
certificate or certificates shall not include any shares which were purchased
pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option.
An individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of
a stockholder until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and
issued to him and, except as provided in Section 18 below, no adjustments shall
be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
date of such issuance.

         11.      TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

         Unless set forth in the Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement at the time of grant, or at any time thereafter, no Option or Stock
Appreciation Right shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee to whom
it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and
during the lifetime of an Optionee to whom an Option is granted, only such
Optionee (or, in the event of legal incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative) may exercise the Option.

                                       6

         12.      STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

                  The Board may, upon recommendation of the Committee, grant
Stock Appreciation Rights to Optionees at the same time as such Optionees are
awarded Options under the Plan. Such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be
evidenced by agreements in such form as the Board shall from time to time
approve. Such agreements shall comply with, and be subject to, the following
terms and conditions:

                  (a) Employment Agreement. The Board may, in its discretion,
include in any Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan a condition
that the Optionee shall agree to remain in the employ of, and to render
services to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a period of time
(specified in the agreement) from the date the Stock Appreciation Rights are
granted. No such agreement shall impose upon the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, however, any obligation to employ the Optionee for any period of
time.

                  (b) Grant. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall relate to a
specific Option under the Plan, and shall be awarded to an Optionee
concurrently with the grant of such Option. The number of Stock Appreciation
Rights granted to an Optionee shall be equal to the number of shares that the
Optionee is entitled to receive pursuant to the related Option. The number of
Stock Appreciation Rights held by an Optionee shall be reduced by:

                           (i) the number of Stock Appreciation Rights
exercised for Stock or cash under the Stock Appreciation Rights agreement, and

                           (ii) the number of shares of Stock purchased by such
Optionee pursuant to the related Option.

                  (c) Manner of Exercise. An Optionee shall exercise Stock
Appreciation Rights by giving written notice of such exercise to the Company.
The date upon which such written notice is received by the Company shall be the
exercise date for the Stock Appreciation Rights. The Stock Appreciation Rights
may only be exercised when the fair market value of the Stock subject to an
Option exceeds the exercised price of the Option.

                  (d) Appreciation Available. Each Stock Appreciation Right
shall entitle an Optionee to the following amount of appreciation and no more -
the excess of the fair market value of a share of Stock on the exercise date
over the option price of the related Option. The total appreciation available
to an Optionee from any exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be equal to
the number of Stock Appreciation Rights being exercised, multiplied by the
amount of appreciation per Stock Appreciation Right determined under the
preceding sentence.

                  (e) Payment of Appreciation. In the discretion of the
Optionee, the total appreciation available to an Optionee from an exercise of
Stock Appreciation Rights may be paid to the Optionee

                                       7


<PAGE>   8



either in Stock or in cash. If paid in cash, the amount thereof shall be the
amount of appreciation determined under Paragraph (d), above. If paid in Stock,
the number of shares of Stock that shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be determined by dividing the amount of
appreciation determined under Paragraph (d), above, by the fair market value of
a share of Stock on the exercise date of the Stock Appreciation Rights.

         (f) Limitations Upon Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. An
Optionee may exercise a Stock Appreciation Right for cash only in conjunction
with the exercise of the Option to which the Stock Appreciation Right relates.
Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only at such times and by such
persons as may exercise Options under the Plan. Stock Appreciation Rights shall
expire when the Option to which the Stock Appreciation Rights expires.
Adjustment to the number of shares in the Plan and the price per share pursuant
to Section 18 below shall also be made to any Stock Appreciation Rights held by
each Optionee. Any termination, amendment, or revision of the Plan pursuant to
Section 17 below shall be deemed a termination, amendment, or revision of Stock
Appreciation Rights to the same extent. A Stock Appreciation Right is
transferable only when the underlying Option is transferable, and under the
same conditions.

         13.      TERMINATION OF SERVICE OR EMPLOYMENT

                           (a) Employees and Subsidiary Directors. Upon the
termination of the employment or service of an Optionee (other than an Outside
Director) with the Company or a Subsidiary, other than by reason of the death
or "permanent and total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code) of such Optionee, any Option and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to
an Optionee pursuant to the Plan shall terminate three months after the date of
such termination of employment, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section
10(a); provided, however, that the Board or Committee may provide, by inclusion
of appropriate language in any Option Agreement, (which is not an Incentive
Stock Option) or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement that the Optionee may
(subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 10(b)
above), in the event of termination of service or employment of the Optionee
with the Company or a Subsidiary, exercise an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right, in whole or in part, at any time subsequent to such termination of
service or employment and prior to termination of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right pursuant to Section 10(a) above, either subject to or
without regard to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to
Section 10(b) above. Whether a leave of absence or leave on military or
government service shall constitute a termination of service or employment for
purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the Board or Committee, which
determination shall be final and conclusive. For purposes of the Plan, a
termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed
to occur if the Optionee is immediately thereafter employed with or in the
service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

                           (b) Outside Directors. Except as provided in Section
13(c), any Option and Stock Appreciation Right granted to an Outside Director
shall terminate upon the expiration of three months after the termination of
the Outside Director's service with the Company other than

                                       8


<PAGE>   9



because of death or "permanent and total disability" as defined above, or, if
earlier, upon the expiration of ten years after grant of the Option.

         14.      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY

                           (a) Death of an Employee or Subsidiary Director. If
an Optionee (other than an Outside Director) dies while in the employ or
service of the Company or a Subsidiary or within the period following the
termination of employment or service during which the Option and Stock
Appreciation Right is exercisable under Section 13 above or 14(b) below, the
executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of such Optionee's
estate shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise set
forth in Section 10(b) above), at any time within one year after the date of
such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option and Stock
Appreciation Right pursuant to Section 10(a) above, to exercise any Option or
Stock Appreciation Right held by such Optionee at the date of such Optionee's
death, whether or not such Option or Stock Appreciation Right was exercisable
immediately prior to such Optionee's death; provided, however, that the Board
or Committee may provide by inclusion of appropriate language in any Option
Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement that, in the event of the
death of the Optionee, the executors or administrators or legatees or
distributees of such Optionee's estate may exercise an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in
Section 10(b) above), in whole or in part, at any time subsequent to such
Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option or Stock Appreciation
Right pursuant to Section 10(a) above, either subject to or without regard to
any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above.

                           (b) Disability of an Employee or Subsidiary
Director. If an Optionee (other than an Outside Director) terminates employment
or service with the Company or a Subsidiary by reason of the "permanent and
total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of such
Optionee, then such Optionee shall have the right (subject to the general
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 10(b) above), at any time within
one year after such termination of service or employment and prior to
termination of the Option and Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to Section
10(a) above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option and Stock
Appreciation Rights held by such Optionee at the date of such termination of
service or employment, whether or not such Option was exercisable immediately
prior to such termination of service or employment; provided, however, that the
Board or Committee may provide, by inclusion of appropriate language in any
Option Agreement, and Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement that the Optionee
may, in the event of the termination of service or employment of the Optionee
with the Company or a Subsidiary by reason of the "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of such
Optionee, exercise an Option, and Stock Appreciation Right in whole or in part,
at any time subsequent to such termination of service or employment and prior
to termination of the Option and Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to Section
10(a) above, either subject to or without regard to any installment limitation
on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above. Whether a termination of
service or employment is to be considered by reason of "permanent and total
disability" for

                                       9


<PAGE>   10



purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the Board or Committee, which
determination shall be final and conclusive.

                           (c) Death or Disability of an Outside Director. Any
Option and Stock Appreciation Right granted to an Outside Director shall remain
exercisable for its remaining term in the event the Outside Director's
termination of service is by reason of death or "permanent and total
disability," as defined above, or, in the event of the Outside Director's death
during the three-month period following the Outside Director's termination of
service by reason other than death or permanent and total disability during
which the Option was exercisable pursuant to Section 13(b) above.

         15.      USE OF PROCEEDS

         The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Stock pursuant
to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall
constitute general funds of the Company.

         16.      REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

                           (a) Violations of Law. The Company shall not be
required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a
violation by the individual exercising the Option or Stock Appreciation Right
or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. Specifically in connection with the Securities Act of 1933 (as now
in effect or as hereafter amended), upon exercise of any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right unless a registration statement under such Act is in effect
with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such
shares unless the Board or Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it
that the holder of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right may acquire such
shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act. Any
determination in this connection by the Board or Committee shall be final,
binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated
to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933 (as now in effect or as hereafter amended). The Company shall not be
obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto
to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any
jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be
exercisable unless and until the shares of Stock covered by such Option or
Stock Appreciation Right are registered or are subject to an available
exemption from registration, the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation
Right (under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall
be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the
availability of such an exemption.

                           (b) Compliance with Rule 16b-3. The intent of this
Plan is to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act. To the extent any

                                       10


<PAGE>   11



provision of the Plan does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable
by the Board or Committee and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the
event Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board, or the Committee acting on
behalf of the Board, may exercise discretion to modify this Plan in any respect
necessary to satisfy the requirements of the revised exemption or its
replacement.

         17.      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Board or Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights have not been granted; provided, however, that no
amendment by the Board or Committee shall, without approval by a majority of
the votes present and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of the
stockholders of the Company at which a quorum representing a majority of all
outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting
on the amendment, or by written consent, in accordance with applicable state
law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, materially
increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, change the
requirements as to eligibility to receive Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
or increase the maximum number of shares of Stock in the aggregate that may be
sold pursuant to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan
(except as permitted under Section 18 hereof). Except as permitted under this
Section 16, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without
the consent of the holder of the Option or Stock Appreciation Rights, alter or
impair rights or obligations under any Option or Stock Appreciation Rights
theretofore granted under the Plan.

         18.      EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

                           (a) Changes in Stock. If the outstanding shares of
Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in
capital stock, or other increases or decreases in such shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company, occurring after the effective date of
the Plan, the number and kinds of shares of Stock for the purchase of which
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the Plan shall be
adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In addition, the
number and kind of shares of Stock for which Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so
that the proportionate interest of the holder of the Option and Stock
Appreciation Rights immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, remain the same as immediately prior to such event. Any such
adjustment in outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall not
change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect to shares of Stock
subject to the unexercised portion of the Option outstanding but shall include
a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

                           (b) Reorganization in Which the Company Is the
Surviving Corporation. Subject to Subsection (c) hereof, if the Company shall
be the surviving corporation in any

                                       11


<PAGE>   12



reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other
corporations, any Option and Stock Appreciation Right theretofore granted
pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a
holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Option Stock
Appreciation Right would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation.

                           (c) Reorganization in Which the Company Is Not the
Surviving Corporation or Sale of Assets of Stock. Upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or upon a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
other business combination of the Company with one or more other entities in
which the Company is not the surviving entity, or upon a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, or upon any
transaction (including, without limitation, a merger or reorganization in which
the Company is the surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results
in any person or entity (or persons or entities acting as a group or otherwise
in concert) owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company, the Plan and all Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights outstanding hereunder shall terminate, except to the extent
provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
continuation of the Plan and/or the assumption of the Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of new options covering the stock of a
successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and exercise prices, in which
event the Plan and Options and Stock Appreciation Rights theretofore granted
shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. In the event of
any such termination of the Plan, each individual holding an Option and/or
Stock Appreciation Right shall have the right immediately prior to the
occurrence of such termination and during such period occurring prior to such
termination as the Board or Committee in its sole discretion shall determine
and designate, to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right in whole or
in part, whether or not such Option or Stock Appreciation Right was otherwise
exercisable at the time such termination occurs and without regard to any
installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above. The
Board or Committee shall send written notice of an event that will result in
such a termination to all individuals who hold Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its
stockholders.

                           (d) Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 18
related to Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by the Board or
Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and
conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock or units of other securities shall be
issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any
such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the
nearest whole share or unit.

                                       12


<PAGE>   13


                           (e) No Limitations on Company. The grant of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or
limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

         19.      DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

         No provision in the Plan or in any Option or Stock Appreciation Rights
granted or Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement entered into
pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right
to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to
interfere in any way with the right and authority of the Company or any
Subsidiary either to increase or decrease the compensation of any individual at
any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any
individual and the Company or any Subsidiary.

         20.      NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN

         Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the
stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any
limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other
incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable
either generally to a class or classes or individuals or specifically to a
particular individual or individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines
desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options
otherwise than under the Plan.

                              INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of ________________, 1997,
by and between JET AVIATION TRADING, INC., a Florida corporation (the
"Company"), and _______________________ (the "Indemnitee").

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the services of the Indemnitee
as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company;

         WHEREAS, Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the
"Act") provides a non-exclusive statutory basis for the indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of a Florida corporation and
authorizes agreements between the Company and its directors, officers,
employees and agents with respect to indemnification of such individuals.

         WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company
contractually to obligate itself to indemnify such persons so that they will
serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will
not be so indemnified, and the Indemnitee is wiling to serve, continue to serve
and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the
condition that he be so indemnified; and

         WHEREAS, in order to induce the Indemnitee to serve or to continue to
serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and/or a
subsidiary of the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into
this agreement with the Indemnitee, and the Company and the Indemnitee agree as
follows:

         1. Indemnification of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold
harmless and indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or
permitted by the provisions of the Florida Statute, or by any amendment thereof
or other statutory provision authorizing or permitting such indemnification
adopted after the date hereof that has the effect of broadening (but not
narrowing) the scope of indemnification provided under the Florida Statute as
it exists as of the date hereof.

         2. Additional Indemnification. In addition to any other
indemnification to which the Indemnitee may be entitled pursuant to the Florida
Statute, the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") or Bylaws
(the "Bylaws"), or otherwise, and subject only to the limitation set forth in
Section 3 hereof, the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless and
indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all costs and expenses (including
trial, appellate and other attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including
an action by or in the right of the

                                       1


<PAGE>   2



Company or a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise or by or in the right of any other person) to which
the Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be
made a party, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is, was or at any time
becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was
serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Company shall pay and reimburse all expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with his appearance as a witness or other
participation in a proceeding at a time when he is not a named defendant or
respondent in the proceeding.

         3. Limitations on Additional Indemnification. No indemnification
pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by the Company if a judgment (after
exhaustion of all appeals) or other final adjudication determines that the
Indemnitee's actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action
so adjudicated and constitute:

                  a. a violation of criminal law, unless the Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful; or had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful;

                  b. a transaction from which the Indemnitee received an
improper personal benefit within the meaning of Section 607.0850(7)(b) of the
Florida Statute;

                  c. in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the
liability provisions of Section 607.0834 of the Florida Business Corporation
Act are applicable; or

                  d. willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best
interests of the Company in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company to
procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder of the Company.

         4. Disbursement/Repayment of Expenses. In addition to the prompt
payment of any indemnification to which the Indemnitee may be entitled, upon
the demand of the Indemnitee, the Company shall promptly (and in any event
within five (5) business days after written demand therefor) advance to or
reimburse the Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including, without
limitation, trial, appellate and other attorneys' fees, court costs, judgments,
fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and other payments) that the
Indemnitee may incur in responding to, investigating, defending, settling or
appealing any claim, action, suit or proceeding for which it reasonably appears
that the indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification from the Company, either
pursuant to this Agreement, the Florida Statute, the Articles, the Bylaws or
otherwise. The Indemnitee agrees to reimburse the Company for all such expenses
in the event, and only to the extent, that it shall be ultimately determined
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such
expenses under the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement. Such undertaking
to reimburse the Company for amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company is an
unlimited general, unsecured and interest free obligation of the Indemnitee.

         5. Indemnification Procedures.

            a. Payment/Determination of Indemnification. Upon any request
from the Indemnitee for indemnification from the Company, whether pursuant to
this Agreement, the Florida Statute, the Articles, the Bylaws or otherwise, the
Company shall promptly pay the full amount of such requested indemnification.
If the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") reasonably believes that all
or any portion of such indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is prohibited
by Section 3 hereof, the Company shall in any event promptly pay the amount of
such indemnification if any, that may reasonably then be paid and shall
promptly make or cause to be made a determination (the "Determination") of
whether the payment of the balance is limited by Section 3 hereof. Such
Determination shall be made in the following order or preference:

               (i)   by the Board of Directors by majority vote or consent of
a quorum consisting of directors who are not, at the time of the Determination,
named parties to such action, suit or proceeding ("Disinterested Directors");
or

               (ii)  if such a quorum of Disinterested Directors cannot be
obtained by majority vote or consent of a committee duly designated by the
Board (in which designation all directors, whether or not Disinterested
Directors, may participate) consisting solely of two or more Disinterested
Directors; or

               (iii) if such a committee cannot be established, by the
opinion of independent outside legal counsel employed by the Company; or

               (iv)  if such legal opinion cannot be obtained, by a majority
vote or consent of a quorum of shareholders who are not parties to such action,
suit or proceedings or, if not such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of
such shareholders.

            b. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. In making
a Determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making the Determination shall presume that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company
shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with
the making by any person, persons or entity of any Determination contrary to
that presumption. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, be determinative of or create a
presumption that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or
reimbursement of expenses hereunder or otherwise.

            c. Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any Determination
hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company; or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful, or no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful; if his action is based on information,
opinions, reports, or

                                       3


<PAGE>   4



statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared
or presented by one or more officers or employees of the Company whom the
Director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in such matters
presented; legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters
the Director reasonably believes are within the persons' professional or expert
competence; or a committee of the Board of Directors of which he is not a
member if the Director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence. The
term "another enterprise" as used in this Section 5(c) shall mean any other
corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise of which the Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent. The
provisions of this Section 5(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit
in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to
have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth herein.

                  d. Success on Merits or Otherwise. Notwithstanding any other
provision for this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding described herein, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses (including
trial, appellate and other attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal
thereof. For purposes of this Section 5(d), the term "successful on the merits
or otherwise" shall include, but not be limited to, (i) any termination,
withdrawal, or dismissal (with or without prejudice) of any claim, action, suit
or proceeding against the Indemnitee without any express finding of liability
or guilt against him, (ii) the expiration of 90 days after the making of any
claim or threat of an action, suit or proceeding without the institution of the
same and without any promise of payment made to induce a settlement, or (iii)
the settlement of any action, suit or proceeding pursuant to which the
Indemnitee pays less than $15,000 in settlement.

                  e. Partial Indemnification or Reimbursement. If the
Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification
and/or reimbursement by the Company for some or a portion of the costs and
expenses (including trial, appellate and other attorneys' fees) judgments,
fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement by the Indemnitee in connection
with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any action specified
herein, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify and/or reimburse the Indemnitee for the portion thereof
to which the Indemnitee is entitled. The party or parties making the
Determination shall determine the portion (if less than all) of such claims,
damages, expenses (including trial, appellate and other attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement for which the Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification and/or reimbursement under this Agreement.

                  f. Costs. All costs of making any Determination required by
this Section 5 shall be borne solely by the Company, including, but not limited
to, the costs of legal counsel, proxy solicitations and judicial
determinations. The Company shall also be solely responsible for paying (i) all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnitee to enforce this Agreement
including trial, appellate and other attorneys' fees and costs; and (ii) all
costs of defending any suits or proceedings challenging payments to the
Indemnitee under this Agreement including trial, appellate and other attorneys'
fees and costs.

                                       4


<PAGE>   5



            g. Timing of the Determination. The Company shall use its best
efforts to make the Determination contemplated by this Section 5 promptly, but
in all events within the following time periods:

               i.   if the Determination is to be made by the Board or a
committee thereof, such Determination shall be made not later than 30 days
after a written request for a Deermination (a "Request") is delivered to the
Company by the Indemnitee;

               ii.  if the Determination is to be made by the Company's
outside independent legal counsel, such Determination shall be made not later
than 30 days after a Request is delivered to the Company by the Indemnitee; and

               iii. if the Determination is to be made by the Company's
shareholders, such Determination shall be made not later than 90 days after a
Request is delivered to the Company by the Indemnitee.

The failure to make a Determination within the above-specified time period
shall constitute a Determination that full indemnification is not limited or
prohibited by Section 3 hereof.

            h. Shareholder Vote on Determination. In connection with each
meeting at which a Shareholder Determination will be made, the Company shall
solicit proxies that expressly include a proposal to indemnify or reimburse the
Indemnitee. Subject to the fiduciary duties of its members under applicable
law, the Board will not recommend against Indemnification or reimbursement in
any proxy statement relating to the proposal to indemnify or reimburse the
Indemnitee.

            i. Right of Indemnitee to Appeal on Adverse Determination by
Board or Committee. If a Determination is made by the Board or a committee
thereof that all or any portion of a request for indemnification pursuant to
this Agreement is prohibited by Section 3 hereof, then upon the written request
of the Indemnitee, the Company shall cause a new Determination to be made by
the Company's shareholders at the next regular or special meeting of
shareholders. Such Determination by the Company's shareholders shall be binding
and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement, but shall not preclude the
Indemnitee from seeking court-ordered indemnification or reimbursement pursuant
to any provision of the Florida Statutes or otherwise.

            j. Right of Indemnitee to Select Forum for Indemnification. If at
any time subsequent to the date of this Agreement, "Continuing Directors" (as
defined below) do not constitute a majority of the members of the Board, or
there is otherwise a change in control of the Company (as contemplated by Item
403(c) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K), then upon the
request of the Indemnitee, the Company shall cause the Determination required
by this Section 5 to be made by special legal counsel designated by the
Indemnitee and approved by the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), which counsel shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section
5(a)(iii) hereof. If none of the legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee

                                       5


<PAGE>   6



are willing and/or able to make the Determination, then the Company shall cause
the Determination to be made a majority vote or consent of a Board committee
consisting solely of Continuing Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, a
"Continuing Director" means either a member of the Board at the date of this
Agreement or a person nominated to serve as a member of the Board by a majority
of the then Continuing Directors.

            k. Access by the Indemnitee to Determination. The Company
shall afford to the Indemnitee and his representative ample opportunity to
present evidence of the facts upon which the Indemnitee relies for
indemnification or reimbursement, together with other information relating to
any requested Determination. The Company shall also afford the Indemnitee the
reasonable opportunity to include such evidence and information in any Company
proxy statement relating to a shareholder Determination.

         6. Contribution.

            a. If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is
unavailable and may not be paid to the Indemnitee for any reason other than
those set forth in Section 3 hereof, then in respect of any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable
with the Indemnitee (or would be joined in such action, suit or proceeding),
the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses, judgments, fines and
settlements paid or payable by the Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which
such action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other in connection with
the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement
amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement
amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation
or any other method of allocation that does not take in to account the
foregoing equitable considerations.

            b. The determination as to the amount of the contribution, if any,
shall be made by:

               i.  a court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of
both the Indemnitee and the Company (if an action or suit had been brought in,
and final determination had been rendered by such court);

               ii. the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or

                                       6


<PAGE>   7



               iii. outside independent legal counsel of the Company, if a
quorum is not obtainable for purpose of (ii) above, or, even if obtainable, a
quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs.

         7. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt of notice
of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Indemnitee will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this
Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof, but the omission to
so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that it
may have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to
any such action, suit or proceeding as to which the Indemnitee so notifies the
Company:

            a. The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense.

            b. Except as otherwise provided below, the Company may assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After notice from
the Company to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense, the
Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with
the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation or as
otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his
counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense
thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless: (i) the employment of
counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company; (ii) the
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense
of such action; or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to
assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses
of the Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company
shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding
brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee shall have
come to the conclusion provided for in (ii) above; and

            c. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under
this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any action
or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the
Indemnitee without the Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Company nor
the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its or his consent to any proposed
settlement.

         8. Liability Insurance. So long as the Indemnitee shall continue to
serve as a director or officer of the Company (or shall continue at the request
of the Company to serve as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), the Company will use
its best efforts to purchase and maintain in effect for the benefit of the
Indemnitee one or more valid, binding and enforceable policy or policies of D&O
Insurance providing coverage within limits determined by the Board in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall

                                       7


<PAGE>   8



not be required to purchase or maintain such insurance policy, if, in the sole
discretion of the Board (i) such insurance is not reasonably available; (ii)
the premium cost for such insurance is disproportionate to the amount of
coverage; or (iii) the coverage provided by such insurance is so limited by
exclusions that there is insufficient benefit from such insurance.

         9.  Disclosure of Payments. Except as expressly required by law,
neither party shall disclose any payments under this Agreement unless prior
approval of the other party is obtained. Any payments to the Indemnitee that
must be disclosed shall, unless otherwise required by law, be described only in
Company proxy or information statements relating to special and/or annual
meetings of the Company's shareholders, and the Company shall afford the
Indemnitee the reasonable opportunity to review all such disclosures and, if
requested, to explain in such statement any mitigating circumstances regarding
the events reported.

         10. Covenant Not to Sue; Limitation of Actions and Release of Claims.
No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or
on behalf of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) against the Indemnitee,
his spouse, heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns after the
expiration of 2 years from the date the Indemnitee ceases (for any reason) to
serve as either a director, officer, or agent of the Company, and any claim or
cause of action of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the filing of a legal
action within such 2-year period.

         11. Continuation of Obligations. All agreements and obligations of the
Company contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), and shall
continue thereafter for so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any
possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact that the
Indemnitee has ceased to serve in any such capacity due to his resignation,
removal by vote of directors or shareholders, termination, death, disability or
otherwise.

         12. Enforcement.

             a. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered
into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order
to induce the Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve as a director,
officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and/or a subsidiary of the
Company, and acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in
agreeing to serve or to continue to serve in such capacity.

             b. In the event the Indemnitee is required to bring any action to
enforce his rights and to collect monies due under this Agreement and is
successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse the Indemnitee for all
of the Indemnitee's reasonable fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such
action, including reasonable attorney's fees (including trial, appellate and
other attorney's fees), court costs and other related expenses.

                                       8


<PAGE>   9



         13. Miscellaneous.

             a. Cooperation and Intent. The Company shall cooperate in good
faith with the Indemnitee and use its best efforts to ensure that the
Indemnitee is indemnified and/or reimbursed for expenses as described herein to
the fullest extent permitted under the provisions of this Agreement.

             b. Nonexclusivity; Subrogation; Entire Agreement. The rights of
indemnification and reimbursement provided in this Agreement shall be in
addition to any rights by which the Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by the
Florida Statutes, the Articles, the Bylaws, a vote of the Company's
shareholders, or otherwise. In the event of any payment under this Agreement,
the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and
take all action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of
such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce
such rights. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any
payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that
the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance
policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the Company and the Indemnitee with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations
and discussions, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect
to such subject matter (the "Prior Agreements"); provided, however, that if
this Agreement shall ever be held void or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever, and is not reformed pursuant to Section 13(d) hereof, then (i) this
Agreement shall not be deemed to have superseded any Prior Agreements; (ii) all
of such Prior Agreements shall be deemed to be in full force and effect
notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement; and (iii) the Indemnitee shall
be entitled to maximum indemnification benefits provided under the Florida
Statute, the Articles, the Bylaws, a vote of Company's shareholders, or any
Prior Agreements.

            c. Effective Date. The provisions of this Agreement shall cover
claims, actions, suits, and proceedings whether now pending or hereafter
commenced and shall be retroactive to cover acts or omissions or alleged acts
or omissions that heretofore have taken place.

            d. Severability; Reformation. Each of the provisions of this
Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others,
so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. In the
event that all or any portion of this Agreement is ever held void or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties hereto
hereby expressly authorize such court to modify any provision(s) held void or
unenforceable to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to render it
valid and enforceable.

            e. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
(i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or
other communication is directed, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered
mail, postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is
so mailed:

assigns and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

            i. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in

agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom
enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this
Agreement.

            j. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are
