THE FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Flight International Group, Inc. (the "Company") is an aviation
services company that performs military training services using specially
modified commercial aircraft, principally under contracts with the United States
Department of Defense, other government agencies and foreign countries. In
addition, the Company has established a market for training and testing in the
aerospace industry. The Company also operates a fixed base operation ("FBO") and
FAA licensed repair station at the Newport News/Williamsburg International
Airport.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standard #128
"Earnings Per Share", which revises disclosure requirements and simplifies
existing computational guidelines. The Statement became effective for periods
ended after December 15, 1997. Net income/loss per common share is computed by
dividing the income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the year.
2. NOTES PAYABLE
On October 16, 1996, the Company entered into a Factoring Agreement
(the "Agreement") with Heller Small Business Finance, a division of Heller
Financial, Inc. ("Heller"). The Agreement granted Heller an assignment of the
CAS-MOS contract (see Item 2) accounts receivable and proceeds thereon as
collateral for a line of credit not to exceed $2,000,000. The term of the
Agreement was two years, with an option for the Company to terminate the
Agreement after one year, if the Company was able to obtain traditional bank
financing. Heller charged a discount fee of .8% of the invoice amount purchased
and an interest rate of prime plus 1% until the invoice was paid. The Heller
Agreement included a minimum fee to Heller, inclusive of all interest charges,
of $60,000 per annum.
7
<PAGE>
On August 28, 1997, Heller exited the small business factoring market
and sold, transferred and assigned the Agreement to Metro Factors, Inc.
("Metro"). All terms and conditions under the Agreement remained the same until
October 1, 1997, when Metro and the Company agreed to amend the terms. The
discount fee was lowered to .4% for funding periods of 1-30 days, with an
additional .1% for each 15 day period thereafter. The minimum fee was reduced to
$12,000 per annum. The term of the Agreement remained the same and the Company
still had a right to exit early, if it was able to obtain traditional bank
financing. No amounts were outstanding on this line as of January 31, 1998. This
Agreement was terminated subsequent to the end of the Quarter (See Note 5).
3. LONG TERM DEBT
On January 15, 1998 the Company refinanced a loan secured by two
aircraft. The new loan, which is now secured by only one aircraft, is in the
amount of $1,338,750 payable over 84 months at a fixed rate of 9.25%. Payments
will be $15,937.50 in principal per month plus interest in arrears. Proceeds
were used to payoff the existing loan ($956,690) with the remaining balance used
to meet working capital requirements. The loan is guaranteed by an officer of
the Company.
4. INCOME TAXES
The Company has substantial net operating loss carry forwards available
to offset against current income. However, the Company will be responsible for
certain taxes payable as a result of the alternative minimum tax, and has made
provisions for such taxes.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 25, 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit with
Crestar Bank ("Crestar") for all short term financing needs. The new agreement,
which replaces the agreement with Metro, which has now been terminated, provides
for up to $2,000,000 in credit. The loan is represented by a demand note which
may be payable at any time upon demand of Crestar. The Company will be obligated
to pay Crestar interest at prime rate plus one-half percent of the average
balance outstanding. The line is secured by the Company's accounts receivable
and an assignment of the CAS-MOS contract.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is an aviation services company that performs military
training services using modified commercial aircraft, principally under contract
with the United States Department of Defense and other government agencies and
foreign countries. In addition, with the use of these aircraft, the Company has
established a market for training and testing in the aerospace industry. The
Company also operates a fixed base operation and FAA licensed repair station at
the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport.
The Company and several of its affiliates emerged from bankruptcy
protection in December 1994. In its first two full fiscal years since emerging
from bankruptcy, and in the period subsequent thereto, the Company has increased
revenue, obtained a major long-term contract described in the next paragraph,
and has generated positive net income (after extraordinary item in 1996) for the
years ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 and for the nine months ended January 31,
1998.
In August 1996, the Company was awarded a major new contract. The
Commercial Air Services - Military Operations Support (CAS-MOS) contract is a
derivative of the original government contract won by the Company in 1980 and
operated until September 1993. The new contract began on October 1, 1996 and
runs for one base year with four option years. The Navy has exercised the first
option year of the contract (Oct. 1, 1997 - Sept. 30, 1998). Total revenue
recognized from the CAS-MOS contract for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 was
approximately $2.5 million.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUE
Total revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997
were $4,155,102 and $4,214,062, respectively. The 1% decrease in revenue is
primarily due to exceptionally poor weather conditions on both the east and west
coasts, forcing cancellation
9
<PAGE>
of numerous training flights on the CAS-MOS contract. These flights will be
rescheduled into later quarters and should have a positive effect on revenue
before September 30, 1998. Maintenance and FBO revenues increased by 3% and 6%,
respectively.
9
<PAGE>
Revenue increased 19% for the nine months ended January 31, 1998,
principally due to the CAS-MOS contract. Maintenance operations, which accounted
for 8% of total Company revenues, dropped 44% from the prior year due to
customer aircraft modifications completed in the first quarter of the fiscal
year ended April 30, 1997. FBO revenue, which accounted for 8% of total revenue,
increased by 11% for the nine month period.
COSTS OF SERVICES
Costs of services for the three months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997
were $3,647,974 and $3,773,253, respectively. The 3% decrease in costs of
services was due to cancellation of training services due to poor weather
conditions. For the nine months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, the costs of
services were $13,152,697 and $10,667,694, respectively. The 23% increase for
the nine months is principally due to the increased costs associated with
aircraft operations on the CAS-MOS contract.
GENERAL CORPORATE AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General corporate and administrative expenses for the three months
ended January 31, 1998 and 1997 were $537,584 and $523,132, respectively. For
the nine months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, general corporate and
administrative expenses were $1,628,279 and $1,503,831, respectively. The 3%
increase in the three month and 8% increase in the nine month periods are
principally due to staffing changes needed to handle the increased revenues,
along with an increase in property taxes on the increased number of aircraft in
operation. Marketing expenses also increased by 23% as a result of increased
activity in that area.
INTEREST
Interest expense for the three months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997
was $95,210 and $118,978, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31,
1998 and 1997, interest expense was $271,526 and $313,765, respectively. The 20%
and 13% decreases in interest expense for the three month and nine month periods
ended January 31, 1998 over the comparable prior year periods is principally due
to the scheduled pay off of long term debt.
NET INCOME(LOSS)
10
<PAGE>
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net loss for the three
months ended January 31, 1998 was $241,724, or $.24 per share of the Company's
common stock, compared with net loss of $329,110, or $.33 per share for the
three months ended January 31, 1997. For the nine months ended January 1998, the
Company's net income was $409,681, or $.40 per share, compared to $402,703, or
$.40 per share for the nine months ended January 31, 1997. The weighted average
number of shares used in computing per share earnings for all periods was
1,013,976 for the current year and 998,976 for the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has funded its operations primarily through cash flows from
operations and short term borrowing from the factoring agreement discussed
below. The Company's operating activities provided cash of $585,860 for the nine
months ended January 31, 1998, while using $311,477 in the comparable prior year
period.
In addition, on January 15, 1998 the Company refinanced a loan secured
by two aircraft. The new loan is for $1,338,750 payable over 84 months at a
fixed rate of 9.25%. Payments will be $15,937.50 in principal plus interest in
arrears. Proceeds were used to pay off the existing loan ($956,690) with the
remaining balance used to meet working capital requirements.
On October 16, 1996, the Company entered into a Factoring Agreement
(the "Agreement") with Heller Small Business Finance, a division of Heller
Financial, Inc. ("Heller"). The Agreement granted Heller an assignment of the
CAS-MOS contract accounts receivable and proceeds thereon as collateral for a
line of credit which is expected not to exceed $2,000,000. The term of the
Agreement is two years, with an option for the Company to terminate the
Agreement after one year, if the Company is able to obtain traditional bank
financing. Heller charged a discount fee of .8% of the invoice amount purchased
and an interest rate of prime plus 1% until the invoice was paid. The Agreement
included a minimum fee to Heller, inclusive of all interest charges, of $60,000
per annum.
On August 28, 1997, Heller exited the small business factoring market
and sold, transferred and assigned the Agreement to Metro
11
<PAGE>
Factors, Inc. ("Metro"). All terms and conditions under the Agreement remained
the same until October 1, 1997, when Metro and the Company agreed to amend the
terms. The discount fee was lowered to .4% for funding periods of 1-30 days,
with an additional .1% for each 15 day period thereafter. The minimum fee was
reduced to $12,000 per annum. Other terms of the Agreement remained the same. No
balance was due Metro as of January 31, 1998.
On February 25, 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit with
Crestar Bank ("Crestar") for all short term financing needs. The new agreement,
which replaces the agreement with Metro, which has now been terminated, provides
for up to $2,000,000 in credit. The loan is represented by a demand note which
may be payable at any time upon demand of Crestar. The Company will be obligated
to pay Crestar interest at prime rate plus one-half percent of the average
balance outstanding. The line is secured by the Company's accounts receivable
and an assignment of the CAS-MOS contract.

For Value Received, the undersigned (whether one or more) jointly and severally
promise to pay to the order of Crestar Bank (the"'Bank") at any of its offices,
or at such place as the Bank may designate in writing, without offset and in
immediately available funds, the Loan Amount shown above, including or plus
interest, and any other amounts due, upon the terms specified below.
Loan Type And Repayment Terms
Loan Type: Revolving Master Borrowing Line
This is an open end revolving line of credit. You may borrow an aggregate
principal amount up to the Loan Amount shown above outstanding at any one time.
Repayment Terms: Principal on demand, plus interest, but the undersigned
shall be liable for only so much of the Loan Amount as shall be equal
to the total advanced to or for the undersigned, or any of them, by
the Bank from time to time, less all payments made by or for the
undersigned and applied by the Bank to principal, plus interest on
each such advance, and any other amounts due all as shown on the
Bank's books and records, which shall be prima facie evidence of the
amount owed.
This Master Borrowing arrangement will terminate upon written notice from the
Bank to the undersigned, or if such notice is not sooner given, on 10/31/1998,
unless an alternate termination date is indicated in the 'Agreement", as defined
below.
The Bank shall have the right to demand payment at any time even if an event of
default (as identified in this Note) has not occurred.
Additional Terms And Conditions:
This Note is governed by additional terms and conditions contained in a(n)
Letter Agreement between the undersigned and the Bank dated January l 3, 1998,
and any modifications, renewals, extensions or replacements thereof (the
"Agreement"), which is incorporated in this Note by reference. In the event of a
conflict between any term or condition contained in this Note and in the
Agreement, such term or condition of the Agreement shall control.
Interest
Accrued interest will be payable on the first day of each month beginning on
March 1, 1998.
Interest will accrue daily on an actual/360 basis (that is, on the actual number
of days elapsed over a year of 360 days).
Each scheduled payment made on this Note will be applied to accrued interest
before it is applied to principal. Interest will accrue from the date of this
Note on the unpaid balance and will continue to accrue after maturity, whether
by acceleration or otherwise, until this Note is paid in full. If this is a
variable rate transaction, the interest rate is prospectively subject to
increase or decrease without prior notice, and if this is a Term-Variable
Payment loan, adjustments in the payment schedule will be made as necessary. If
this is a variable transaction which uses a Crestar Prime Rate as the Index, the
Index is subject to increase or decrease at the sole option of the Bank.
Subject to the above, interest per annum payable on this Note (the "Rate") will
be the "Index" (as defined in this Note) plus a margin of 0.500%. The "Index"
shall be Crestar's Prime Rate, which is the rate established from time to time
by the Bank and recorded in its Central Credit Administration Division as a
reference for fixing the lending rate on commercial loans. The Index is a
reference rate only and does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of
interest charged for such borrowings. Adjustments to the Rate shall be effective
as of the date the Index changes.

and
WHEREAS, the Bank is unwilling to extend or continue credit to the Debtor unless
it receives elves a guaranty from the undersigned (herein called "Guarantor(s)")
with respect to the Liabilities. as hereinafter defined, of the Debtor to the
Bank;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of other good and valuable
consideration and in order to induce the Bank from time to time, in its sole
discretion, to extend or continue credit to the Debtor. the Guarantors, jointly
and severally, absolutely and unconditionally, guarantee to the Bank payment
when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise. of any and all Liabilities of
the Debtor to the Bank, together with all interest and charges thereon and all

enforcing any of such Liabilities, subject to the provisions contained in this
guaranty.

loan, overdraft, purchase or otherwise. and howsoever evidenced,
whether by promissory note, bill of exchange, acceptance, check,

modifications thereof or substitutions therefor.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum liability of each Guarantor
hereunder shall not exceed the sum of Two Million and 00/100----

($2,000,000.00) plus interest on the Liabilities and all charges and expenses,
including, without limitation, any costs of preserving, protecting or disposing
of any collateral securing the Liabilities, court costs and attorneys' fees paid
or incurred by the Bank in endeavoring to collect such Liabilities or any part
thereof or in enforcing this guaranty. If no amount has been inserted In the
preceding space, the amount of the undersigned's liability hereunder shall be
unlimited.
3 This guaranty is a continuing guaranty, shall remain in full force and
effect irrespective of any interruptions in the business relations of
the Debtor with the Bank and shall apply to and guarantee any balance
which shall remain due by the Debtor to the Bank; provided, however,
that each Guarantor may, by notice in writing delivered personally to
an officer of the Bank or received by registered mail by an officer of
the Bank. terminate this guaranty with respect to ail Liabilities of
the Debtor incurred or contracted by the Debtor or acquired by the
Bank after the date on which the notice is actually received by such
officer. Such termination shall not be applicable to any Liability
incurred prior to the receipt of such notice by the Bank.
4. The Sank may at any time and from time to time, in the exercise of its
sole discretion, either before or after default by the Debtor or
revocation or termination of this guaranty, without the consent of or
notice to the Guarantors, without incurring responsibility to the
Guarantors, without impairing or releasing the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder, or any security available to the Bank, upon or
without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:
a) Change the manner. place, or terms of payment (including payment
amounts and rate of interest) and/or change or extend the time of
payment, renew or alter any Liability, any collateral or security
therefor, or any Liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof, and this guaranty shall apply to the Liabilities as so

secondarily or otherwise liable for any of the Liabilities;
c) Exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Debtor, any
of the Guarantors, or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
d) Settle, compromise and/or release any Liability, any collateral or
security therefor or any obligation, including the obligation of any
Guarantor, and also subordinate the payment of all or any part of any
Liability to the payment of any obligation or indebtedness, whether
due or not, of the Debtor to creditors of the Debtor other than the
Bank and the Guarantors;
e) Apply any sums received by it from any source to any Liability or
Liabilities, in such order of application as the Bank may elect,
regardless of what Liability or Liabilities remain unpaid. All
payments shall be conclusively presumed to have been made by the
Debtor and no payment shall operate to reduce the Liability of a
Guarantor unless, at the time such payments are made, written notice
is delivered to an officer of the Bank that such payments are made by
a Guarantor in reduction of his liability hereunder, and such payments
are actually made by the Guarantor;
f) Fail to set off and release, in whole or in part, any balance of any
deposit account or credit on its books in favor of the Debtor, or of
any other person liable for any of the Liabilities, and may extend
further credit in any manner whatsoever to the Debtor, and generally
deal with the Debtor or any security or other person liable for any of
the Liabilities as the Bank, in its sole discretion, may see fit.
5. The Guarantors waive notice of acceptance of the Guaranty and notice,
including notice of default, on any Liability to which it may apply, and waive
presentment and demand for payment of any of the Liabilities, and waive protest
and notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any Liabilities, suit or taking other
action by the Bank against, and any other notice to, the Guarantors or to any
other party liable for such Liabilities. Except for any limitation which is
specified above with respect to the amount of the maximum liability of each of
the Guarantors, this is an unconditional guaranty, and
<PAGE>
the liability of each of the Guarantors to the Bank shall not be terminated or
in any way limited by reason or as the result of anything set forth or contained
in any writing evidencing all or any part of the Liabilities nor shall it be
limited to a proportionate part of the total of the Liabilities. This is a
guaranty of payment and not of collection and the Guarantors waive any right to
require that any action be brought against the Debtor or any other person or to
require resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account
or credit on the books of the Bank in favor of the Debtor or any other person
and agree that the Bank is not responsible for the validity, perfection,
recordation or enforceability of any collateral or security for the Liabilities.
6. The Guarantors subordinate all indebtedness of the Debtor owing to them, or
any of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the Liabilities. The
Guarantors further agree that the Guarantors shall not be subrogated to, and
will not enforce on the part or behalf of the Guarantors, any right of action
which the Bank may have against the Debtor until every Liability shall have been
paid in full. The Bank shall have the right, immediately and without further
action by it, to set off against any obligation of the Guarantors to the Bank,
all money owed by the Bank in any capacity to the Guarantors, whether or not
due. Notwithstanding any other provision of this guaranty, any Guarantor who is
an "insider" within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby irrevocably
waives any right to assert, enforce, or otherwise exercise any right of
subrogation to any of the rights, security interests, claims or liens of the
Bank, its successors or assignees or any other beneficiary against the Debtor or
any other obliger on the Liabilities or any amounts guaranteed herein or on any
collateral or security and such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse,
reimbursement, contribution, indemnification, or similar right it may have (by
contract or otherwise) against the Debtor or any other obligor on all or any
part of the Liabilities or any guarantor thereof, and such Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives any and all of the foregoing rights and also irrevocably
waives the benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or
security given to the Bank or any other beneficiary to secure payment of the
Liabilities.
7. A subsequent guaranty by the Guarantors, or any of them, or any other
guarantor of the Liabilities shall not be deemed to be in lieu of or to
supersede or terminate this guaranty but shall be construed as an additional or
supplementary guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided therein; and in the
event the Guarantors, or any of them, or any other guarantor, has given to the
Bank a previous guaranty or guaranties, this guaranty shall be construed to be
an additional or supplemental guaranty, and not to be in lieu thereof or to
terminate such previous guaranty or guaranties unless expressly so provided
herein.
8. This guaranty shall be binding on all parties signing below, notwithstanding
the failure of any further contemplated guarantors to execute this or similar
instruments and notwithstanding the fact that the signature of one or more of
the Guarantors or other party guaranteeing the Liability or any other existing
or future signature shall be forged or unauthorized. The revocation of this
Guaranty in the manner permitted hereunder by one or more of the Guarantors or
other party guaranteeing the Liability, or the release by the Bank of any one or
more Guarantors or other party guaranteeing the Liability, or the death of any
Guarantor or any other party guaranteeing the Liability shall not affect or
limit the liability of any other Guarantor, and the Bank shall be under no duty
to notify any Guarantor of any such revocation, release or death.
9. The Guarantors warrant to the Bank that they have adequate means to obtain
from the Debtor on a continuing basis information concerning the financial
condition of the Debtor and that they are not relying on the Bank to provide
such information either now or in the future. The Guarantors waive all errors
and omissions in connection with the Bank's administration of the Liability,
except behavior which amounts to bad faith.
10. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the
Liabilities or of any collateral or security therefor shall affect, impair, or
be a defense to this guaranty, and this guaranty is a primary obligation of each
Guarantor.
11. The term "Guarantors" as used herein shall, if this guaranty is signed by
more than one party, mean the Guarantors and each of them and each undertaking
contained herein shall be their joint and several undertaking. If any party
hereto shall be a partnership, the agreements and obligations on the part of the
Guarantors shall remain in full force and applicable notwithstanding any changes
in the identity of the parties composing the partnership and the term
"Guanrantors" shall include any altered or successive partnership and the
predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from
any obligation or liability.
12. No delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any rights hereunder or
failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such rights; no notice
to or demand on the Guarantors shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation
of the Guarantors or of the right of the Bank to take further action without
notice or demand as provided herein; nor in any event shall any modification or
waiver of the provisions of this guaranty be effective unless in writing signed
by the Bank nor shall any such waiver be applicable except in the specific
instance for which given.
13. The Guarantors agree to provide to the Bank updated financial information,
including, but not limited to, tax returns, current financial statements in form
satisfactory to the Bank, as well as additional information, reports, or
schedules (financial or otherwise), all as the Bank may from time to time
request.
14. Notwithstanding the fact that the Liabilities of the Debtor to the Bank may
have been paid in full and this guaranty form may have been returned to the
Guarantors, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall continue in full
force and effect with respect to any amounts that the Bank may ever be required
to repay under any Bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
15. This guaranty shall not be construed to impose any obligation on the Bank to
extend or continue any credit at any time.
16. Each reference herein to the Bank shall be deemed to include its successors
and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this guaranty shall also inure.
Each reference herein to the Guarantors shall be deemed to include heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each
Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this guaranty.
17. Each of the undersigned Guarantors agrees that certain material events and
occurrences relating to this Guaranty bear a reasonable relationship to the
jurisdiction named at the top of this form. The validity, terms, performance and
enforcement of this guaranty shall be governed by the laws of such jurisdiction
which are applicable to agreements which are negotiated, executed, delivered and
performed solely in such jurisdiction. To the extent that any provision in this
guaranty is inconsistent with applicable law, the Bank will comply with
applicable law.

otherwise) any of the documents evidencing and/or securing the Obligations and
thereafter may destroy the original documents. Borrower does hereby agree that
any document so reproduced shall be and remain the binding obligation of
Borrower, enforceable and admissible in evidence against it to the same extent
as if the original documents had not been destroyed.
This Note, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. All
prior agreements to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Note shall be
construed in accordance with the provisions hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this Note under seal the day and
year set forth above.

insolvency or other relief of debtors. The undersigned agrees to furnish
promptly to the Lender annual financial statements and such other current
financial information as the Lender may reasonably request from time to time.
The undersigned expressly represents and acknowledges that loans and other
financial accommodations by the Lender to the Borrower are and will be to the
direct interest and advantage of the undersigned.
The Lender may, without notice of any kind, sell, assign or transfer all or any
of the Obligations, and in such event each and every immediate and successive
assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any of the Obligations shall have the
right to enforce this guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such
assignee, transferee or holder, as fully as if such assignee, transferee or
holder were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits,

For the purpose of this guaranty, the Obligations shall include all debts,
liabilities and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, notwithstanding any
right or power of the Borrower or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as
to the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, and no such claim or defense

hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is

organization, this guaranty covers all Obligations purporting to be made in
behalf of such organization by any officer or agent of the same, without regard
to the actual authority of such officer or agent. The term "corporation" shall

subscribe for securities incident thereto and any substitutions or replacements
therefor and (ii) any balance or deposit accounts of the undersigned, whether
such accounts be general or special, or individual or multiple party, and upon
all drafts, notes, or other items deposited for collection or presented for
payment by the undersigned with the Lender, exclusive of any such property in
the possession or control of the Lender as a fiduciary other than as agent, and
the Lender may at any time, without demand or notice, appropriate and apply any
of such to the payment of any of the Obligations, whether or not due, except for
other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities owing to Lender that constitute
(a) consumer credit as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation Z or (b)
non-consumer credit if under applicable state law the maximum interest rate for
such credit is reduced when secured.
Any amount received by the Lender from whatever source and applied by it toward
the payment of the Obligations shall be applied in such order of application as
the Lender may from time to time elect.
This guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Lender, its successors
and assigns, and likewise shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
undersigned, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. If
more than one person shall execute this guaranty or a similar, contemporaneous
guaranty, the term "undersigned," shall mean, as used herein, all parties
executing this guaranty and such similar guaranties and all such parties shall
be liable, jointly and severally, one with the other and with the Borrower, for
each of the undertakings, agreements, obligations, covenants and liabilities
provided for herein with respect to the undersigned. This guaranty contains the
entire agreement and there is no understanding that any other person shall
execute this or a similar guaranty. Furthermore, no course of dealing between
the parties, no usage of trade, and no parole or extrinsic evidence shall be
used to supplement or modify any terms of this guaranty; nor are there any
conditions to the complete effectiveness of this guaranty.
This guaranty shall be deemed accepted by Lender in the Governing Jurisdiction.
The parties agree that this guaranty shall be deemed, made, delivered, performed
and accepted by Lender in the Governing Jurisdiction and shall be governed by
the laws of the Governing Jurisdiction. Wherever possible each provision of this
guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provisions of this guaranty shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this guaranty.
The undersigned (a) submits to personal jurisdiction in the Governing
Jurisdiction, the courts thereof and any United States District Court sitting
therein, for the enforcement of this guaranty, (a) waives any and all personal
rights under the law of any jurisdiction to object on any basis (including,
without limitation, inconvenience of forum) to jurisdiction or venue within the
Governing Jurisdiction, for the purpose of litigation to enforce this guaranty,
and (c) agrees that service of process may be made upon the undersigned by first
class postage prepaid mail, addressed to the undersigned at the latest address
of the undersigned known to the Lender (or at such other address as the
undersigned may specify for the purpose by notice to the Lender). Nothing herein
contained, however, shall prevent the Lender from bringing any action or
exercising any rights against any security and against the Borrower personally,
and against any assets of the Borrower, within any other state or jurisdiction.
Guarantor acknowledges that Lender may reproduce (by electronic means or
otherwise) any of the documents evidencing and/or securing the Obligations and
thereafter may destroy the original documents. Guarantor does hereby agree that
any document so reproduced shall be and remain the binding obligation of
Guarantor, enforceable and admissible in evidence against it to the same extent
as if the original documents had not been destroyed.
<PAGE>
This guaranty shall remain in full force and effect as to each of the
undersigned unless and until terminated as to one or more of the undersigned by
notice to that effect actually received by the Lender, by registered mail,
addressed to Lender at 100 North Main Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
27101, but no such notice shall affect or impair the liabilities hereunder of
such of the undersigned who gives or on whose behalf is given any such notice
for the Obligations

existing at the date of receipt by the Lender of such notice, any renewals,
modifications, or extensions thereof (whether made before or after such notice
is received), any interest thereon, or any costs or expenses, including without
limitation, attorneys' fees incurred in the collection thereof or any future
advances made by Lender to Borrower as required or permitted pursuant to the
terms of the instruments, documents or agreements evidencing or providing for
the Obligations. Any such notice of termination by or on behalf of any of the
undersigned shall affect only that person and shall not affect or impair the
liabilities and obligations hereunder of any other person.
The undersigned hereby expressly waives, for Lender's benefit and the benefit of
the Borrower and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Obligations any
and all claims or actions against the Borrower, any other guarantor, maker or
endorser of the Obligations and any and all rights of recourse against any
property or assets of the Borrower, any other guarantor, maker or endorser of
the Obligations (including without limitation any security for the Obligations)
arising out of or related to any payment made by the undersigned under this
guaranty, including, without limitation, any claim of the undersigned for
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnity that the
undersigned may have against the Borrower, any other guarantor, maker or
endorser of the Obligations and any benefit of, and any other right to
participate in, any security for the Obligations or any guaranty of the
Obligations now or hereafter held by Lender. The waiver contained in this
paragraph shall continue and survive after the termination of this guaranty and
the payment of the Obligations.
The terms and provisions of any addendum attached hereto are incorporated herein
by reference and made a part hereof.

(hereinafter referred to as the "Bank"), shall constitute an addendum to the
Guaranty Agreement, dated January 15, 1998 (herein referred to as the "Guaranty

liability of the Guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement for the Obligations of
the Borrower shall be limited to the principal and interest of that certain
promissory note dated January 15, 1998, payable to the Bank, in the original
principal amount of $1,338,750, and any renewals or extensions thereof (the
"Note"), plus (a) reasonable attorneys' fees if such note is collected, or the
liability of the Guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement is enforced, by or
through any attorney-at-law and (b) the Obligations of the Borrower under any
collateral documents securing such promissory note.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Guaranty Agreement, in the
event Borrower shall default in the prompt payment of a monthly payment of
principal and interest, Bank agrees to refrain and forbear from enforcing
Guarantor's obligations under the Guaranty for a period of six months from the
date Bank notifies Guarantor of such default (the "Forbearance Period"),
provided and so long as each of the conditions to forbearance set forth below is
fully and promptly satisfied.
1. Guarantor pays (i) within fifteen days of notice of such default the
monthly payments of principal, interest and fees that is past due and caused the
default of the Obligations (whether or not Bank has exercised its acceleration
right under the Note) and (ii) continues to promptly pay an amount equal to
principal and interest which is or would have been due on the fifteenth day of
each month during the Forbearance Period (whether or not Bank has exercised its
acceleration right under the Note).
2. No other default shall occur or exist under the Obligations or under any
security agreement or collateral documents securing the Obligations.

ATL LEGAL\I1101.
In the event that any one or more of the forbearance conditions set forth
above are not satisfied Bank's agreement to forbear as set forth above shall
immediately terminate and Bank may then enforce any and all of Guarantor's
obligations under the Guaranty.
Guarantor understands and agrees that Bank shall be only required to
provide one Forbearance Period as described above and in the event the default
which caused the above described forbearance provisions to be effective shall be
cured, Bank shall not be required to refrain and forbear from enforcing
Guarantor's obligations under the Guaranty should any subsequent monthly payment
default exist.
