               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



The Board of Directors
American Jet Engine Services, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Jet Engine
Services, Inc. as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
nine-month and twelve-month periods then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of American Jet Engine Services,
Inc. as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the nine-month and twelve-month periods then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                      AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

      American Jet Engine Services, Inc. is an international aircraft engine
      and parts overhaul facility providing service to aircraft parts and
      engine redistributors, major commercial passenger and cargo airlines, and
      other maintenance and repair facilities located throughout the world. The
      Company's offices, overhaul shop, and inventory storage locations are in
      Miami, Florida.

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

      The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
      three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included in cash equivalents
      is a money market fund. These investments are recorded at cost, which
      approximates market. The Company records certificates of deposit separate
      from cash and cash equivalents due to their maturities being greater than
      three months.

      TRADE RECEIVABLES

      The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's
      estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, and, in the opinion
      of management is believed to be set in an amount sufficient to respond to
      normal business conditions.

      INVENTORY

      Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market. The cost of aircraft
      parts purchased individually is determined on a specific identification
      basis, which includes the cost associated with the overhaul and repair
      necessary for resale. The cost of engine overhaul inventory is the direct
      labor and overhead costs for the engine determined by the labor hours
      attributed to it. The engine remains the property of the customer who
      purchased it; therefore, there is no engine purchase cost recorded in the
      Company's inventory.

      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

      Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of furniture,
      fixtures and equipment is provided under the straight-line method over
      the estimated useful lives, generally five and seven years. Amortization
      of leasehold improvements is provided on the straight-line method over
      the estimated useful lives of leased assets or the term of the lease,
      whichever is shorter.

      Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred while
      major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed
      of, the cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the
      accounts and any gains or losses are included in operations.

                       AMERICAN JET ENGINE SERVICES, INC.
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
               FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                      AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued):

      REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Revenues from fixed-fee contracts for aircraft engine overhauls are
      recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the
      cost-to-cost method, commencing when progress reaches a point where
      experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable
      accuracy. Revenues from overhauls of other aircraft parts, which are
      short-term in nature, are recognized when the part is shipped to the
      customer.

      Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, if any, are
      made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job
      performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including final
      contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are
      recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

      The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
      uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of
      amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated
      earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of
      revenues recognized.

      INCOME TAXES

      The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected to be taxed as
      an S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes as defined in
      Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Therefore, the Company
      is generally exempt from all federal and state income taxes as
      stockholders of the Company are taxed on corporate income.

      CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

      Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
      concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and
      accounts receivable.

      Cash balances in financial institutions periodically exceed amounts
      insured by the FDIC. These balances and certificates of deposit are held
      by a local financial institution and management believes risk of loss
      related to these amounts is remote.

      Accounts receivable subject the Company to a potential concentration of
      credit risk. Receivables are usually due within 30 days and the Company
      performs periodic credit evaluations of its customer's financial
      condition. Substantially all of the Company's customers are in the
      aviation industry and sales are usually affected by the current economic
      condition of the industry. The Company estimates that sales to
      international customers accounted for approximately 5% of net sales in
      1998; there were no international sales in 1997. Sales to international
      customers may be subject to greater risks, including variations in local
      economies, fluctuating exchange rates and greater difficulty in accounts
      receivable collection.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
               FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                      AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued):

      VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS

      In a given period, a substantial portion of the Company's net sales may
      be attributable to the overhaul of one or more engines. Engine overhauls
      or the timing of aircraft spare parts sales during a given period may
      result in a customer being considered a major customer of the Company for
      that period. In 1998 and 1997, three of the Company's customers
      individually accounted for in excess of 10% of net sales, including one
      related-party customer. Currently, the Company believes that it has no
      customer, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the
      Company's results of operations.

      A substantial portion of the Company's purchases are concentrated among a
      small number of companies. Two of the Company's suppliers individually
      accounted for in excess of 10% of net purchases, including one
      related-party supplier, for the period ended September 30, 1998. There
      was one supplier who accounted for in excess of 10% of net purchases for
      the period ended December 31, 1997. Currently, the Company believes that
      it has no supplier, the loss of which would have a material adverse
      effect on the Company's results of operations.

      USE OF ESTIMATES

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
      and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

      ADVERTISING COSTS

      The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. For the
      periods ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, advertising costs
      were insignificant.

      SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW AND NONCASH ACTIVITY INFORMATION

      Interest paid totaled $4,568 and $12,640, respectively, during the
      periods ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Distributions to
      shareholders include $16,830 and $21,296, respectively, of principal
      payments on the notes receivable from shareholder during the periods
      ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

                      AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDER NOTE RECEIVABLE:

      The Company holds a ten-year, $251,000 face value note from a stockholder
      for the purchase of stock. The note is payable in monthly installments of
      $2,787 including interest at 6% through December 2004 and is
      collateralized by the stock. The note receivable was $173,922 and
      $190,752 at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The
      Company recorded $7,371 and $12,144 in interest income related to the
      note for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
      respectively. The balance of the note receivable is reflected as a
      reduction of stockholders' equity in the balance sheet.

                       AMERICAN JET ENGINE SERVICES, INC.
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
               FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                      AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT:

      In August 1997, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit ("the
      facility") with a bank under which the Company could borrow up to
      $500,000 at the bank's prime rate plus 2%. The facility, which matured in
      August 1998, was not renewed. On December 31, 1997, $500,000 was
      outstanding under this facility. The facility was collateralized by the
      Company's accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, and guaranteed
      by the existing stockholders.


NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

      The Company overhauls and repairs aircraft engines and parts and requires
      that all of the parts it sells are properly documented. Although the
      Company has never been subject to product liability claims, there is no
      guarantee that the Company could not be subject to liability from its
      potential exposure relating to faulty aircraft parts in the future. The
      Company maintains liability insurance with coverage it believes to be in
      sufficient amounts and on terms that are generally consistent with
      industry practice, but there can be no assurance that such coverage will
      be adequate to fully protect the company from any liabilities it might
      incur. An uninsured or partially insured loss could have a material
      adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition.


NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

      The Company leases a 15,000 square foot warehouse which includes the main
      offices and overhaul shop from an existing stockholder on a
      month-to-month basis for $5,325 a month. Rent expense under this
      arrangement was $47,925 in 1998 and $63,900 in 1997.

      The Company also leases a 12,000 square foot warehouse and repair shop
      from an existing stockholder on a month-to-month basis for $5,219 a
      month. Rent expense under this arrangement was $46,971 in 1998 and
      $15,657 in 1997.

      The Company has transactions in the normal course of business with two
      aircraft and parts suppliers related through common ownership (related
      companies). During the periods ended September 30, 1998 and December 31,
      1997, the Company recorded $153,420 and $1,265,958 respectively, in sales
      to the related companies. The Company has receivables from the related
      companies amounting to $857,355 at September 30, 1998 and $12,470 at
      December 31, 1997. The Company also recorded $483,708 and $-0-,
      respectively, in purchases from the related companies during the periods
      ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. The Company has payables
      to these companies amounting to $17,810 at September 30, 1998 and $-0- at
      December 31, 1997.
