NOTE 1:  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997, consolidated
statement of earnings for the six month and three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for
the six month periods then ended were prepared by the Company, without audit. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 1997 and for all periods
presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's September 30, 1996
annual report on Form 10-KSB.  The results of operations for the periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.

NOTE 2:  CASH AND SHORT-TERM SECURITIES

The Company considers cash on hand and deposits in banks as cash and cash
equivalents.  All items in this category have maturities of less than three
months.

NOTE 3:  INVENTORIES

                                                      $53          $47    


NOTE 4:  OTHER RECEIVABLES

The balance at September 30, 1996 includes a note in the amount of $100 due
from Jason IV Aviation, Inc. as partial payment of the selling price of the
company's facility in New Orleans.  The note was paid in February 1997. 
Included in the total at both March 31 and September 30 is an escrow deposit
of $105 and $121, respectively, the remainder of $150 required by the City
of Scottsdale, AZ to insure completion of the EPA cleanup that was ongoing
at the time the Company sold the facility in September 1994.

NOTE 5:  NOTES RECEIVABLES

The balance is the face amount of another note due from Jason IV Aviation,
Inc. also as partial payment of the selling price of the New Orleans
facility.  The note carries an interest rate of 9% per annum, to be paid
monthly, and is due and payable on March 31, 1999.
NOTE 6:  OTHER ASSETS

The balance at March 31 and September 30 includes $310 and $326, respective-
ly, the unamortized portion of goodwill recorded with the acquisition of
Mountain State Flight Services Inc. on April 1, 1995.  The goodwill is being
amortized over 141 months from the date of the acquisition.

NOTE 7:  ACCRUED PROPERTY, PAYROLL, AND OTHER TAXES

Included in the balances both at March 31 and September 30 is an accrual of
$1,668 for a New York motor fuels tax assessment which is being appealed, and
$1,314 and $1,316, respectively, for property taxes.

NOTE 8:  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Long Term Debt-Affiliate
Included in this category are $8,700 of various demand loans due to Transtech
Holding Company, (Transtech), the Company's principal shareholder.  These
notes provide for interest at 2% above the prime rate.  Also included is a
note due Transtech in the amount of $6,910, bearing a prime interest rate. 
The note is collateralized by a first priority interest on the fixed assets,
inventory, and accounts receivable of the Company.  Also, at March 31, and
September 30, respectively, this category includes $516 and $533, the balance
due on the purchase of an airplane in July 1996 from R. Ted Brant, the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The note
is due Cessna Corporation but remains in the name of Mr. Brant.  The Company
makes payments directly to Cessna.

Long Term Debt-Other
Included in this category at March 31 and September 30 are $3,530 and $3,550,
respectively, due on industrial revenue bonds, with $30 and $50, respective-
ly, being the current maturities.  However, due to the uncertainty surround-
ing the renewal of the letter-of-credit (due for renewal in May 1997)
supporting the $3,500 bond that matures in 2014, Management decided to
reclassify that amount as short term debt at September 30.

NOTE 9:  RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company is indebted to its major shareholder Transtech (holder of 42.2%
of common stock and 34.9% of preferred) in the amount of $15,610.  Relative
to this debt, the Company had accrued interest of $938 and $684, respective-
ly, at March 31 and September 30.  During the six months ended March 31, 1997
the Company paid $392 of interest to Transtech.

The Company provides accounting services to Transtech for one fixed base
operation owned by it for a monthly fee of $1.

In January 1996 the Company purchased a 40% interest in a company called
Peakwood, L.L.C. for $150.  $115 of this amount was borrowed from the
following related parties:  Transportech, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Transtech Holding Co., $20; Maurice Lawruk, Company Director, $40; James
Affleck, Company Assistant Treasurer, $34; R. Ted Brant, Company Director and
CEO, $15; Bobby Adkins, Company Director, $4; and Alice Buford, a shareholder
of Transtech, $2.  The Company issued promissory notes bearing an interest
rate of 10% per annum with principal and interest due in February 1997.  At
that time the Company exercised its option contained within the notes to
extend them for one additional year.  All interest due and payable was paid
at the time of the extension.
NOTE 10:  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

A.  Environmental Matters

The Company's business involves the storage, handling and sale of aviation
fuel; and the provision of mechanical maintenance and refurbishing services
which involve the use of hazardous chemicals.  Accordingly, the Company is
required to comply with federal, state and local regulations which have been
enacted to control the discharge of material into the environment or
otherwise relate to the protection of the environment.  As a normal course
of business, the Company from time to time discusses environmental compliance
with the appropriate environmental agency.

At March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996, the Company had accrued $453 and
$457, respectively, for expenses related to environmental protection,
assessment and remediation matters at certain locations based upon identified
situations and cost estimates provided by firms and individuals knowledgeable
of such matters.  These estimates are subject to change dependent upon
additional information and revisions to governing regulations.

The expenditures and accruals for environmental matters are specific in
nature to identified situations at Company locations.  The Company is
presently responsible for remediation projects at two locations previously
sold.  Due to uncertainties related to estimating both elapsed correction
time and the effectiveness of environmental remediation techniques utilized
to correct non-compliance situations, the Company may incur additional costs
in future periods related to these same situations.

B.  Arapahoe County Industrial Revenue Bond

The Company sold an FBO in Denver, CO belonging to its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Beckett Aviation Inc. in February 1994.  The buyer, Denver
JetCenter, Inc. contractually assumed all liability in connection with the
payment of principal, interest, and related fees of the $3,500 industrial
revenue bond issued by Arapahoe County, CO.  These bonds were the source of
construction funds for the facility.  Should Denver JetCenter fail to make
any payments when due, the lender could look to the Company for payment.  As
such, the Company remains contingently liable for these bonds and their
related expenses.

Revenues for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1997 declined
1% and 11%, respectively as compared to the same period for the previous year
to $1,786 and $3,855, respectively.  These declines are the result of certain
FBO sales in fiscal 1996.  In order to compare the results of continuing
operations, a comparative statement of earnings for the three month and six
month periods are presented below, including only those which were in
operation during all of both periods.

As shown above, revenues at continuing operations increased $130 (8%) during
the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the previous year.  The
volume of fuel sold increased 8% from the previous year providing $134
additional revenue.

Departmental costs increased $65 (9%) during the three months ended March 31,
1997.  The single largest increase was $25 for employee health insurance.

Administrative costs increased $22 (13%) due to increased legal expenses

As shown above, revenues at continuing operations increased $510 (15%).  Fuel
volume sold increased 13% and contributed $420 of the increased revenue. 
Airline fueling contracts have contributed $41 of the increased revenue.

Cost of sales increased 4.6% as a percentage of sales in the current year,
primarily in fuel sales because of numerous periodic increases in the cost
of fuel during the three months ended December 31, 1996.  Increases totalled
7.5% and could not be reflected in proportionally increased selling prices
due to competitive pressures.

Departmental costs increased $36 (2.5%) during the current year.

Administrative costs decreased $10 (2%) during the current year.

LIQUIDITY

Working capital deficiency at March 31, 1997 increased by $509 to ($17,593). 
Current assets decreased by $384 and current liabilities increased by $125. 
Reductions in cash ($207), accounts receivable ($100) and other receivables
($99) were the major causes of the decrease in current assets.  Increases in
notes payable ($197) reduced by reductions in accrued expenses ($43) and
accounts payable ($38) were the major causes of the increase in current
liability.

Operations during the six months ended March 31, 1997 used $341 of cash with
an additional $40 used for the purchase of fixed assets.  During the six
month period, the Company issued notes payable of $225, of which $182 was a
conversion of accounts payable to short term notes payable and $18 was used
to finance the purchase of fixed assets.

As discussed in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30,
1996 Management, in an attempt to maintain the viability of the Company, is
examining an offer to purchase the Company's Chicago FBO.  Also being
explored, is the possibility of obtaining a line of credit using the Chicago
FBO as collateral, with the proceeds used to pay current liabilities.  Also,
the Company is in negotiations with an airport authority located in the
Mid-Atlan-
tic region to open a new FBO.  The lease would require minimum start-up
costs.  The Company has also hired an investment banking firm to assist it
in planning the best method of utilizing the Company's approximate $33
million of net operating loss carryforwards.  The successful completion of
this plan, however, can be no guarantee that the Company can be returned to
profitability or maintained as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

In May 1997 Barclays Bank agreed to extend its letter-of-credit supporting
the $3,500 bond that matures in 2014 to November 30, 1997.  Also the Denver
JetCenter, purchaser of the Company's FBO in Denver, CO obtained a substitute
letter-of-credit supporting the $3,500 bond that matures in 2013, obviating
the need for the Barclays Bank letter-of-credit which was then cancelled.

ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  The Company is subject to several complaints filed over the last several
years in different courts or administrative agencies by different individual
former employees challenging the termination of their employment by the
Company on a variety of grounds.  These claims are encountered in the
ordinary course of business, and in the opinion of management, the resolution
of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position in excess of what
has already been recorded.  Management believes that it has established
adequate reserves for all of these claims.  Management also believes it has
strong defenses and intends to vigorously defend its position.

The Company is also exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted potential
claims encountered in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
management, the resolution of these matters, as well as those discussed above
or referenced elsewhere in this report, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position in excess of what has already been
recorded.  Management believes that it has established adequate reserves for
all of these claims.
