                           AIRSHIP INTERNATIONAL LTD.
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The Company's last audited financial statement was December 31, 1993. The
Company is in the process of finalizing its audits for the years ended December
31, 1994, 1995, and 1996. The financial information presented as of any date
other than December 31, 1993 has been prepared from the books and records
without audit. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete statements. Management believes that all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements, have been included. 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 as of 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. If such differences prove significant and
material, the Company will file an amendment to this report on Form 10-Q.

NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:

LOANS FROM TRANS CONTINENTAL. During the six months ended June 30, 1997 Trans
Continental Airlines, Inc. ("Trans Continental"), an affiliated company, loaned
the Company $1,359,000, while the Company has repaid $1,476,000 to Trans
Continental from the proceeds of the Company's sale leaseback financing. There
can be no assurance that Trans Continental will continue to make such loans to
the Company.

500.04 AGREEMENT WITH TRANS CONTINENTAL LEASING. On January 15, 1997 the Company
entered into a sale agreement with Trans Continental Leasing (TCL), an
affiliated company, with respect to the Company's 500.04 airship (formerly the
"Bud One" airship) whereby the Company sold to TCL the airship and related
equipment. In consideration for said assets, TCL retired the Company's debt to
Senstar Capital Corp. in the amount of $3,014,000. Additionally, TCL procured a
new envelope from a third party and agreed to lease back the entire assembled
and operational airship to the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company
further agreed that it would sell certain idle airship components to TCL
provided that TCL would undertake to pay the operational costs of the 500.04
airship for a minimum of eight months. In addition, the Company anticipates
that, as a result of this transaction, its obligation to Gulf Oil will be
reduced.

NOTE  3 - CUMULATIVE PREFERRED DIVIDENDS IN ARREARS:

The Company has accrued quarterly dividend payments with respect to its Class A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Voting Stock (the "Preferred Stock") since
August 15, 1994 until a later payment date. Dividends on the Preferred Stock
accrue at the annual rate of $.60 per share payable in Common Stock. As of June
30, 1997, the Company had 2,473,379 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

Item  2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis

OVERALL FINANCIAL CONDITION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. For the first six months of 1997, the Company
incurred a loss of $1,209,000 and had negative cash flows of $1,311,000 from
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the Company's current liquidity shortage.

The Company experienced a net loss of $1,209,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997, compared to a net loss of $1,932,000 for the same period during
the prior year. The decrease in loss was primarily due to the one time charge
for the envelope written off in 1996 as well as a decrease in payroll and
maintenance costs associated with the 500.04 airship. The Company is also
experiencing a liquidity shortage (See Liquidity and Capital Resources).

The Company had a stockholder's deficit of $16,315,000 at June 30, 1997 as
compared to the stockholder's deficit of $14,364,000 at December 31, 1996
representing an increase of $1,951,000. The primary reason for the increase was
due to the accrual of common stock dividends in the amount of $742,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. In addition, the Company sustained a loss in the
amount of $1,209,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had no revenue from operation of its airships during the first six
months of 1997 and 1996.

Operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased $394,000 (or
100%) from the comparable period in 1996. Cost decreases resulted from reduced
payroll and maintenance costs related to the 500.04 airship.

Selling, general, and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30,
1997 were $645,000 compared to $589,000 for the comparable period in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operating
activities. Due to the continued negative cash flow and existing encumbrances on
its assets the Company has relied on loans, cash advances, and guarantees from
Mr. Pearlman, the Company's President and principal stockholder, and Trans
Continental. There can be no assurance that Mr. Pearlman or Trans Continental
will make additional loans, cash advances, and guarantees on an ongoing basis.
At June 30, 1997, the Company owed Mr. Pearlman $1,189,000, net of unamortized
discounts, and owed Trans Continental $3,497,000 (see Note 2). Mr. Pearlman and
Trans Continental have deferred repayment of such amounts for an indefinite
period.

Quarterly dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue at the annual rate of $0.60
per share in shares of Common Stock. The Company has accrued dividends on the
Preferred Stock since August 15, 1994 (See Note 3).
