NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and
related interim statements of income and cash flows include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for their fair
presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses. Examples include provisions for warranty claims and bad debts and
the length of assets' useful lives. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year. The information in this Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1997.

NOTE B - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         On August 19, 1997, the Company closed an initial public offering (the
"IPO") of its Common Stock and Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants. The
Company sold through its underwriter 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock and
1,150,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants, which resulted in net proceeds of
$5,189,000, net of approximately $1,539,000 of associated underwriting discounts
and offering expenses. The proceeds were used to repay the 10% Bridge Notes of
$500,000, to fund the cash portion of the Casper Air Service ("CAS") acquisition
of $1,167,000, and to repay approximately $700,000 of bank and other
indebtedness.

NOTE C - ACQUISITION OF CASPER AIR SERVICE

         Concurrent with the IPO in August 1997, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Casper Air Service, a full-service Fixed Base
Operation ("FBO") in Casper, Wyoming. The purchase price of $2,519,000 included
$1,167,000 in cash compensation, 153,565 shares of Common Stock valued at
approximately $883,000 and transaction costs. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method and the purchase price has been allocated to the net
assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (including tax attributes)
has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized using the straight-line
method over 20 years.

         Casper Air Service is located at the Natrona County International
Airport in Casper, Wyoming and has been in business continuously since 1946. CAS
offers aircraft line services, aircraft repair and maintenance, parts
distribution and aircraft sales.

NOTE D - ACQUISITION OF AERO DESIGN, INC. AND BATTERY SHOP, LLC

         In March 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
of Aero Design, Inc. and all of the outstanding ownership interests of Battery
Shop, LLC, two sister companies involved in the manufacturing and overhaul of
replacement batteries for the aviation industry. The purchase price of
$1,300,000 included $753,000 in cash and 134,398 shares of Common Stock valued
at approximately $547,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method and the purchase price has been allocated to the net assets acquired
based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net assets acquired (including tax attributes) of $1,381,000
has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized using the straight-line
method over 20 years.

         Aero Design, Inc. and Battery Shop, LLC are located outside Nashville,
Tennessee.

NOTE E - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

         In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share",
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997, which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share. The statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation, to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Basic EPS, except as noted below, excludes the effect of potentially dilutive
securities while diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted
into, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the
earnings of the entity. The Company has adopted SFAS 128.

         During the fiscal period ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued common
stock warrants with issuance and exercise prices below that of the price of the
Company's IPO common stock offering. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission requirements, the dilutive effect of these securities has been
included in the basic EPS calculation as if they were outstanding as of the
beginning of the periods presented with the dilutive effect measured using the
treasury stock method. As a result, the basic EPS calculation reflects an
increase in common shares for the assumed exercise of the warrants of 128,188
and 193,860 for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively, and 212,609 for both the three months and nine months ended March
31, 1997. No adjustment was made for the assumed conversion of the Company's
convertible debt for any period presented since the effect would be
antidilutive.

NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         In April 1998, the Board of Directors elected to grant an additional
19,000 incentive stock options to officers and employees of the Company and
345,000 nonqualified stock options and warrants to officers, directors and
consultants of the Company. The exercise price on all the options and warrants
granted was the market price at the date of grant. In addition to the new option
grant, 109,000 previously issued options were cancelled and an equal number of
new options were granted. These new options were granted at an exercise price
equal to the market price at the date of grant, except for options for 50,000
shares which were granted at an exercise price of 110% of market price.

NOTE G - NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial

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

GENERAL

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations ("MD&A") contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than
statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A regarding the Company's
financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management of the
Company for future operations are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such
forward-looking statements, including those described below. Investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to
release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

         The Company, through its three operating divisions, offers a range of
services to the aviation industry. The Company ultimately plans to capture a
larger market share of the services being outsourced by the airline and
corporate aircraft industry, including but not limited to, airline and corporate
aircraft painting, corrosion cleaning, ground handling services, overhaul and
maintenance services, fueling, airport security and passenger service. The
Company plans to grow through mergers, acquisitions and internal growth.

Overhaul Services Division

         Net revenues from the Overhaul Services Division consist primarily of
gross revenues from stripping and painting and other aircraft coating services
to major passenger and freight airlines and corporate aircraft. The Company also
contracts with various heavy maintenance bases throughout the United States to
provide corrosion prevention programs and light maintenance for aircraft
undergoing heavy maintenance work at these bases. Costs of revenues consist
largely of direct and indirect labor, direct material and supplies, insurance
and other indirect costs applicable to the completion of each contract.
Operating expenses consist of all general and administrative and operating costs
not included in costs of sales, including but not limited to facilities rent,
indirect labor and other overhaul costs.

         This division of the Company has two locations, Acadiana Regional
Airport in New Iberia, Louisiana (Pride) and Portland International Airport in
Portland, Oregon (Pride Portland). During the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
all work previously performed at the Company's Redbird facility was transferred
to New Iberia.

Ground Services Division

         Net revenues from the Ground Services Division consist primarily of
gross revenues from a variety of support services including aircraft interior
cleaning, exterior washes, lavatory and water services and light catering. Costs
of revenues consist largely of direct and indirect labor, direct material and
supplies, and other indirect costs. Operating expenses consist of all general
and administrative and operating costs not included in costs of sales.

         Airline Services has had operations at Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport since 1990, Dallas Love Field airport since 1986, San Francisco
International Airport since 1995 and Gulfport Biloxi Regional Airport since
1994. In 1997, the Company executed new ground service contracts with customers
under which it established operations in the Los Angeles International Airport,
Oakland Airport, Kansas City Airport and Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company closed its stations at San
Francisco International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, and Fort
Lauderdale International Airport.

FBO & Airport Management Division

         The Company commenced its Fixed Base Operation ("FBO") operations in
July 1996, upon the commencement of business at its initial FBO site located at
Redbird Airport in Dallas, Texas. This division generates revenues from the sale
of aviation fuel and other services provided to general aviation customers
located at the Redbird Airport facility. Costs associated with this activity
include primarily fuel, facility rent, and direct labor. The Company initiated
these operations at its existing Dallas location with the intent to operate
profitably the business, but also to allow it to assemble its financial and
managerial resources to begin its acquisition activities in this division. In
August 1997, the Company acquired Casper Air Service ("CAS"), which operates a
full service FBO in Casper, Wyoming. Activities at CAS include fueling, parts
sales, maintenance and repair services for corporate and general aviation
aircraft.

Aviation Group - Corporate Overhead

         Operating expenses consist of all general and administrative and
operating costs to provide management to the Company's divisions, to support
expected growth, and to seek acquisition targets, not directly attributable to
the divisions' operations.

SEASONALITY AND VARIABILITY OF RESULTS

         The Company's Overhaul Services Division experiences significant
seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in its stripping and painting
operations. The annual operating cycle generally reflects escalating strip and
paint revenues in the Company's third and fourth fiscal quarters and slower
sales in the Company's first and second fiscal quarters. The Company's painting
revenues are adversely affected during the airlines' peak traffic seasons of the
summer months and the November and December holidays. Currently, the Overhaul
Services Division generates a significant percentage of the Company's revenue.
Management, therefore, is required to plan cash flow accordingly.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following tables set forth a summary, for the periods indicated, of
the revenues and gross profits for each of the Company's major operating
divisions, as well as selected other financial statement data.

         Revenues. Net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
increased $2,491,000 or 102% from the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
Net revenues for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 increased $7,486,000
or 112% from the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. The following tables
represent a summary of revenues by division for the periods noted:

         Revenues for the Overhaul Services Division increased $706,000 or 35%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $2,224,000 or 40% for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in the prior years. This
increase is due primarily to the contract with Boeing Aircraft to paint seven
Boeing 777 aircraft, which began in November 1997 and ran through February 1998.
The second phase of this contract was awarded to another vendor. Billings during
the third quarter of 1998 on the Boeing contract totaled approximately $959,000.
This increase in revenues was offset in the third quarter by a reduction in
revenues related to the loss of the United 757 line as of December 1997. In
April 1998, the Company entered into a three year agreement with Federal Express
to provide exterior painting services at the Company's facilities in Portland,
Oregon and New Iberia, Louisiana.

         Revenues for the Ground Services Division increased by $57,000 or 20%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $330,000 or 45% for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in the prior year. This
increase is related primarily to increased activity at new stations opened
during fiscal 1997, which include Kansas City, Los Angeles International Airport
and Oakland International Airport. Additional revenues were generated on an
increased level of activity at Dallas Fort Worth, Oakland and Alliance Airports.

         Revenues for the FBO and Airport Management Division increased by
$1,728,000 or 1,394% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $4,932,000 or
1,362% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in
the prior year. This increase is due principally to the acquisition of Casper
Air Service in August 1997. Casper Air Service contributed $1,678,000 and
$4,798,000 to revenues for the three months and nine months ended March 31,
1998, respectively.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31,
1998 increased $1,247,000 or 904% from the three month period ended March 31,
1997. Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 increased
$1,996,000 or 146% from the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. The
following tables represent a summary of gross profit by division for the periods
noted:

</TABLE>

         Gross profit for the Overhaul Services Division increased $826,000 or
9,178% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and increased $948,000 or 92%
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in gross profit for the third quarter is due primarily to
additional revenues and profits generated by the Boeing contract which were not
existent in the third quarter 1997, offset by the reduction in revenues
generated at Pride's New Iberia facility related to United 757 aircraft. The
increase in gross profit year to date is related primarily to the gross profit
obtained on the Boeing contract mentioned earlier.

         Gross profit for the Ground Services Division decreased by $20,000 or
14% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $87,000 or 25% for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in the prior year. This
decrease is related primarily to the expansion during fiscal 1997 into new
stations at Kansas City, Los Angeles International Airport, Oakland
International Airport and Fort Lauderdale International Airport during fiscal
1997 and in the first quarter of 1998 and the "start up" losses generated by
these new locations. These losses resulted from the investment in personnel and
resources needed to initiate and expand new services at the new airport
locations listed above.

         Gross profit for the FBO and Airport Management Division increased by
$442,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $1,135,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in the prior year. This
increase is related primarily to acquisition of Casper Air Service in August
1997. Casper Air Service contributed $385,000 and $1,070,000 to gross profit for
the Company during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively.

         The Company's general and administrative expenses increased $1,033,000
or 1,003% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $1,989,000 or 140% for
the nine months ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable prior year periods.
These increases are due to several factors. Corporate overhead accounted for
$122,000 of the increase for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $569,000
of the increase for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. These increases relate
primarily to additions in management infrastructure, higher legal and accounting
costs of operating a publicly traded company and additional costs of managing
the Company's growth. The addition of Casper Air Service in August 1997
increased general and administrative expenses by $325,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 and $812,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998.

         The Company's depreciation and amortization expense increased by
$101,000 or 101% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $240,000 or 82%
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from the comparable period in the prior
year. This increase is related primarily to the acquisition of Casper Air
Service and the associated depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of
goodwill acquired.

         The Company's interest expense decreased $54,000 or 62% for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and increased $55,000 or 36% for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable period in the prior year. The increase
of the nine month period is due principally to $64,000 of interest expense
accreted to the Bridge Notes during the first quarter of 1998 as a result of the
common stock payable to the Bridge Note holders upon completion of the initial
public offering. The decrease during the current quarter relates primarily
changes in the borrowing levels and associated interest rates between the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 when compared to fiscal 1997. Interest expense is
presented net of interest income of $17,000 and $60,000 for the three months and
nine months ended March 31, 1998, respectively.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

         The Company financed its operations and capital expenditures from a
combination of cash generated from operations, bank loans, leases and invested
capital.

         In February 1997, the Company completed a private offering of $500,000
of its 10% Bridge Notes. The proceeds of this offering were used to fund the
costs of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and for general working
capital and operating purposes. Upon the successful completion of the IPO in
August 1997, the terms of these notes required the Company to issue to the
holders that number of shares of Common Stock that equals $250,000 divided by
the initial public offering price. Accordingly, $250,000 of the proceeds has
been allocated to equity and credited to paid in capital and the notes payable
were recorded at a discounted amount of $250,000. The discount was amortized to
interest expense over the period from the completion of the Bridge Note offering
until August 19, 1997, which was the consummation date of the IPO. These notes
and the associated interest were repaid following the funding of the IPO.

         The Company realized approximately $5.2 million in net proceeds from
the IPO in August 1997. The proceeds have been used to repay the 10% Bridge
Notes of $500,000, to fund the cash portion of the CAS acquisition of
$1,167,000, 


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   12

to fund the cash portion of the Aero Design acquisition of $753,000,
and to repay approximately $700,000 of bank and other indebtedness.
Additionally, these proceeds have been and will be used in the future to fund
expenditures including, but not limited to, capital expenditures for existing
operations, facilities improvements, acquisition of other aviation services
companies and general working capital for operations and other corporate
purposes. The Company's capital structure has improved significantly as a result
of completing the IPO.

         As part of its growth strategy, the Company intends to pursue
acquisitions of related aviation businesses. Management believes financing for
such acquisitions will be provided from operations, bank financing and through
additional security offerings.

         The Company, in conjunction with the growth by acquisition strategy
outlined above, incurred corporate general and administrative expenses totaling
$248,000 and $890,000 for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1998
respectively. These general and administrative expenses relate primarily to the
management infrastructure required to seek out and evaluate potential
acquisition candidates and manage the anticipated growth of the business, as
evidenced by the March 1998 acquisition of Aero Design, Inc and Battery Shop,
LLC. The Company currently has other acquisition candidates identified. While
this level of expense is high relative to the current revenues of the Company,
management believes that it has created an infrastructure capable of managing
the Company's growth in the future without a proportionate growth in
administrative expenses.

         The Company, through its subsidiary Pride Aviation, Inc., has entered
into a letter of intent with the Iberia Parish Airport Authority to enter into a
lease for a proposed wide body aircraft painting hangar to be constructed in New
Iberia, Louisiana. Pride Aviation, Inc. intends to execute a lease requiring
monthly rent payments not exceeding $35,000 payable upon completion of the
hangar's construction.

         The Company believes that funds available under its existing credit
facilities, together with cash generated from operations and proceeds from the
IPO will be adequate for its anticipated cash needs. Management expects that the
proceeds from the IPO will allow it to experience accelerated growth both
internally and through well-planned acquisitions of aviation services companies.

                            ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is not involved in any material pending legal proceeding
other than ordinary routine litigation considered to be incidental to its
business.

                         ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

(c)      For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company issued a total of
         21,975 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of outstanding
         warrants in unregistered transactions. These shares were issued in
         reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act
         of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2) thereof. The 21,975
         shares were issued, on a cashless basis, in exchange for the exercise
         and surrender of a total of 24,750 warrants. The warrants were
         exercisable at $1.00 per share.

(d)      The Company completed its initial public offering on August 19, 1997.
         The offering commenced on August 13, 1997, which was the effective date
         of the Form SB-2 Registration Statement (File No. 333-22727) for the
         offering (the "Registration Statement").

         The following table shows the amount of net offering proceeds to the
         Company used for each of the purposes listed below through March 31,
