                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

The  Company  serves a portion of the travel  industry  known as  "interliners".
Interliners are the active employees and retirees of the airline  industry,  who
may fly on many carriers for free or at a very significantly reduced fare, along
with their families and the friends to whom they pass along their  allotments of
no-cost or low-cost flying privileges. Interliners are generally able to procure
hotel or resort accommodations in destination locations,  berths on cruise ships
and other travel  products at rates  representing a courtesy of up to 50% off of
established  rates,  primarily  because  interliners  have a high  propensity to
travel and tend to travel  during  off-peak  periods  when  "stand-by"  space is
available at hotels and resorts and on cruise ships.  These factors have led the
travel  industry  to  view  interline  bookings  as  incremental   revenue  that
supplements normal marketing revenue.

The Company  serves both  interline  travelers  and operators  (hotels,  resort,
cruise  lines and  others)  segments of the  interline  industry  through  three
distinct business units:  Interline  Adventures,  a publication  formerly titled
Airfair  Magazine:   Interline  Travel,  which  markets  hotel-resort  space  to
interliners  and specializes in Mexican and Caribbean  locations:  and Interline
Representatives,  Ltd.,  which  markets  cruise and  escorted  tour  packages to
interliners.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

Travel revenue is recognized on a "booked,  paid,  traveled"  basis.  This means
that all client funds received and all funds paid to travel  suppliers  prior to
the  travel  date are  deferred  for income  recognition  until such time as the
client has traveled and the Company has completed  its  commitment to the client
and the travel suppliers. Subscription sales are deferred for income recognition
until magazines are delivered to subscribers. (See Note 8.)

The assets  "Prepaid  Hotel Cost" and "Prepaid  Cruise and Tour Cost"  represent
expenses  paid for tours and cruises which have been booked but not yet taken by
the customer.  The liabilities "Deferred Hotel Revenue" and "Deferred Cruise and
Tour Revenue"  represent  payments received for tours and cruises booked but not
recognized as revenue until the customer completes the tour or cruise.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

Substantially  all of the  balance  in the cash  account  consists  of an escrow
deposit  required  by Bank One as a reserve  for  credit  card  processing.  The
Company has agreed to  establish  an escrow  balance of $125,000 to be funded by
depositing  amounts equal to 5% of the prior week's gross sales deposit activity
on a  weekly  basis  commencing  September  9,  1996,  for  a six  week  period.
Commencing  the 7th week,  the Company  agreed to deposit  $5,000 per week for a
4-week period, and commencing the 11th week, a deposit of $10,000 per week until
the reserve is fully  funded.  As of March 31, 1997,  the Company had funded the
escrow account to a balance of $100,376.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
    POLICIES (Continued)-

Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
- -------------------------

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity at
the time of purchase of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
- ------------------------------------

The Company provides an allowance for accounts  receivable which are doubtful of
collection.  The  allowance  is based upon  management's  periodic  analysis  of
receivables,  evaluation of current  economic  conditions,  and other  pertinent
factors.  Ultimate losses may vary from the current  estimates and, as additions
to the allowance  become  necessary,  they are charged  against  earnings in the
period in which  they  become  known.  Losses are  charged  and  recoveries  are
credited to the allowance.

Income (Loss) Per Share
- -----------------------

The  computation  of primary income (loss) per share of common stock is based on
the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during the period plus
(in periods in which they have a dilutive  effect)  the effect of common  shares
contingently issuable from stock options and exercise of warrants.

Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------

Property  and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is  computed on the
straight-line  method for financial statement  purposes.  Estimated useful lives
range  from 5 to 7 years.  Intangibles,  consisting  of "excess of cost over net
assets  acquired"  and  non-compete  covenants  are stated at cost and are being
amortized over 40- year and 3-year periods, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned  subsidiary Airfair Publishing  Company,  Inc. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

Income Taxes
- ------------

Income taxes are provided  for the tax effects of  transactions  reported in the
financial  statements  and consist of taxes  currently due plus  deferred  taxes
related  primarily  to  differences  between  the basis of  certain  assets  and
liabilities  for financial and tax reporting.  The deferred taxes  represent the
future tax  return  consequences  of those  differences,  which  will  either be
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
    POLICIES (Continued)-

Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------

In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No.123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation.
The Company currently accounts for its stock-based  compensation plans using the
accounting  prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock  Issued to  Employees.  Since the Company is not required to adopt the
fair value based  recognition  provisions  prescribed under SFAS No. 123, it has
elected to comply with the disclosure  requirements  set forth in the Statement,
which includes disclosing pro forma net income as if the fair value based method
of accounting had been applied. (See Note 14.)

Estimates and Assumptions
- -------------------------

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing  financial  statements in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Those estimates and
assumptions  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,   the
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities,  and the reported revenues and
expenses.  Actual  results  could vary from the  estimates  that were assumed in
preparing the financial statements.

3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment at March 31, 1997 and 1996 is as follows:

                                                  1997                 1996
       Property and equipment                   $93,795               $93,795
       Less accumulated depreciation            (35,315)              (16,946)
       Net property and equipment               $58,480               $76,849

Depreciation  expense for the quarters ending March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $4,590
and $3,001, respectively.

4. ACQUISITIONS

On December 1, 1994,  Inventory  Merchandising  Services,  Inc.  (IMS) (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Barter Exchange,  Inc. (BEI)),  acquired the net assets of a
business owned by Lou and Claudia Nackos  (Nackos) for the assumption of certain
liabilities in the amount of $144,394. This resulted in a new operating division
called Interline Travel (Interline).

Airfair Publishing,  Inc. (Airfair) is a Delaware  corporation formed on January
6, 1996.  Immediately  subsequent to  incorporation  of Airfair,  the assets and
liabilities  of Interline were  transferred  by IMS into Airfair.  Additionally,
existing shareholders of BEI received four shares of Airfair for each share held
in BEI,  resulting in 8,500,000 shares issued. An additional 600,000 shares were
authorized by the Board of Directors and issued to two  shareholders,  resulting
in a total of 9,100,00  shares issued  pursuant to the spin-off of the Interline
division in IMS to Airfair.  Capital of $30,000  was  contributed  to Airfair by
BEI.

On January 13, 1996,  (Closing  Date)  [effective  December 31, 1995  (Effective
Date)]  Airfair  acquired  certain  assets and assumed  certain  liabilities  of
Interline  Representatives  Ltd.  and Airfair  Publishing  Corp.  (IRL/APC)  for

4. ACQUISITIONS (Continued)-

Both of the promissory  notes described  above,  have identical terms (except as
specified) as follows:  The annual interest rate on unpaid  principal is 12% per
annum.  Interest  only will be due on the unpaid  balance on January  31,  1996,
February 29, 1996, and March 31, 1996. Thereafter,  principal and interest shall
be due and  payable in monthly  installments  of $5,593 on Note #1 and $4,366 on
Note #2, each payable on the last day of each month,  beginning  April 30, 1996,
until  December  31,  1999,  when the  entire  principal  and  accrued  interest
remaining unpaid, shall be due and payable in full.

The  purchase   method  of  accounting   was  used  to  account  for  the  above
transactions.

Effective July 19, 1996, Riley Investments, Inc. (Riley) and Airfair executed an
Agreement   that  provided  for  the  merger  of  MergerCo,   a   newly-created,
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Riley,  with and into  Airfair,  which  became  the
surviving corporation,  and the conversion of the issued and outstanding Airfair
stock into  shares of Riley  stock on the basis of one share of Riley  stock for
each share of Airfair stock  outstanding  on the  Effective  date. On October 7,
1996,  articles of amendment  were filed on behalf of Riley wherein the name was
changed to Grand Adventures Tour & Travel  Publishing  Corporation (the Company)
with  authority to issue  10,000,000,  no par,  preferred  shares and 30,000,000
common shares with a par value of $.0001. The transaction was accounted for as a
reverse acquisition.

As explained in Note 4 to the financial  statements,  on December 31, 1994,  IMS
acquired  the net assets of a business  owned by Nackos  (referred  to herein as
Interline)  and assumed  certain  liabilities.  Of the $144,394  total  purchase
price,  $74,278  represented  the  excess of the cost over the fair value of net
assets  acquired.  The excess of cost over net assets acquired is amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

As  explained  in Note 4 to the  financial  statements,  on  January  13,  1996,
(Closing Date) [effective  December 31, 1995 (Effective  Date)] Airfair acquired
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Interline Representatives Ltd.
and Airfair  Publishing Corp.  (IRL/APC) . Of the $593,791 total purchase price,
$528,791  represented  the  excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired and $30,000 represented a covenant-not-to compete. Also amortizable are
$16,336 of additional  legal and acquisition  costs. The excess of cost over net
assets  acquired is  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis over 40 years and the
covenant is amortized over 3 years.

At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the unamortized cost consists of the following:

8. DEFERRED SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE

Subscription sales are deferred as unearned income at the time of sale. Magazine
customers  normally pay for a one-year or two-year  subscription in advance.  As
magazines  are  delivered  to  subscribers,   the  proportionate  share  of  the
subscription price is taken into revenue. Magazine subscription selling expenses
are  deferred  and  charged to  operations  over the same  period as the related
subscription income is earned.

9. DEFERRED DISCOUNT

In April  of 1996,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with a  telephone
long-distance  service provider wherein the Company receives a discount (credit)
against its telephone charges provided that its annual volume of telephone usage
is equal to at least $240,000 for a period of three years.  If the Company fails
to meet the minimum usage requirement, the discount will be forfeited.
The discount credit balance as of March 31, 1997 is $54,644.

11. COMMON STOCK

Riley  Investments,  Inc. was  incorporated as Pace Group  International,  Inc.,
("Pace") in October,  1987 under the laws of the State of Oregon.  On  September
20,  1995,  the  stockholders  approved  a name  change of the  Company to Riley
Investments,  Inc. As of November 1, 1995,  after the effects of the transaction
described below, the Company had no operating assets and was dormant.

On  May  23,  1995,  the  Chairman  of  the  Board,  Edwin  T.  Cornelius,   Jr.
("Cornelius"),  the  Secretary/Treasurer,  Joanne Cornelius, and two sons of Mr.
and Mrs.  Cornelius  entered into an option  agreement to sell 2,905,486  common
shares of Pace  they  owned to  Bridgeworks  Capital.  The  above  shareholders,
together  with  another  shareholder  who  was  also  the  son of Mr.  and  Mrs.
Cornelius,  owned an aggregate of 3,984,000  common  shares of Pace.  The option
agreement,  among other  provisions,  was subject to  shareholder  approval of a
1-for-15 reverse stock split of the outstanding  shares of Pace common stock and
an exchange of substantially all net assets of Pace,  including its ownership of
100% of the outstanding common stock of Pace International  Research,  Inc., for
notes  payable and unpaid  accrued  interest  thereon  owed to  Cornelius  which
approximated $422,000 as of October 31, 1995. The above transaction was approved
by the shareholders on September 20, 1995 and became effective November 1, 1995.

Prior to the  consummation of the option  agreement,  Cornelius also transferred
450,000 shares of Pace common stock to two investors who had previously advanced
the Company $525,000 in 1987 pursuant to  profit-sharing  agreements.  Under the
term of those profit-sharing  agreements,  the investors were to be paid in full
from certain Pace profits.  As of October 31, 1995, those investors had not been
repaid for their advances.

The remaining Pace common stock owned by the Cornelius family,  which aggregated
628,514 shares, were returned to the Company and 588,674 shares were canceled as
of December 31, 1996.

Airfair Publishing,  Inc. (Airfair) is a Delaware  corporation formed on January
6, 1996.  Immediately Subsequent to incorporation of Airfair on January 6, 1996,
the existing  shareholders of BEI received four shares of Airfair for each share
held in BEI,  resulting in 8,500,000 shares issued. An additional 600,000 shares
were  authorized  by the Board of  Directors  and  issued  to two  shareholders,
resulting in a total of 9,100,000  shares issued pursuant to the spin-off of the
Interline  division  in IMS to  Airfair.  (See Note 4.)  Capital of $30,000  was
contributed to Airfair by BEI.

In September of 1996, 25,000 shares of common stock were issued for $25,000.

calculation under the Management Services Agreement.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to the end of the March 31,1997 quarter,  the Company has also raised
funds through additional long-term borrowings. The bridge loans of $400,000 were
restructured in a transaction  whereby the loanholders  agreed to the release of
the pledged equity securities in exchange for the following:  (1) payment of all
accrued  interest  through  April  10,  1997,  which  was paid in the  amount of
approximately $29,000, (2) the loan broker received a fee of $20,000, (3) 40,000
Company  common stock  warrants  were issued to the loan broker and 20,000 stock
warrants were issued to a principal of the loan broker, all exercisable at $1.00
per share,  (4) the bridge  loans were  converted  to 3-year  notes  bearing 12%
annual interest , with principal and interest payable monthly, beginning in May,
1997, the outstanding principal balance is convertible (at note holders' option)
into Company common stock at $.50 per share, and no prepayment  penalties.  With
the  release of the equity  securities,  the  Company  obtained a margin loan of
$185,000 with the stock as  collateral  with the  Principal  Financial  Group in
April,  1997.  Also in April and May,  1997,  the Company  raised an  additional
$500,000  from ten  investors  through the  issuance of  three-year  convertible
debentures.  The debentures  carry an annual  interest rate of 7%.  Interest and
principal are due and payable in annual installments on each anniversary. At the
option of the Company,  interest  payments due prior to the maturity date may be
made in  shares of common  stock of the  Company  at the rate one share for each
$0.50 of interest accrued and payable. The debenture holder has the right at any
time prior to maturity  to convert  all or any  portion of the then  outstanding
principal balance into fully paid and  non-assessable  shares of common stock of
the  Company  at a  conversion  price of  $0.25  per  share of such  outstanding
principal amount, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided for in the
debenture.  The  holders  of these  debentures  were also  granted  warrants  to
purchase of up to 1,000,000  shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. These warrants must be exercised prior to the 95th day
after delivery by the Company of audited financial  statements for the Company's
1997 fiscal year (ending December 31, 1997).  The Company also  extinguished (in
April, 1997) the $306,796 of notes payable that were incurred in connection with
the  acquisition  of the cruise and magazine  division for a cash  settlement of
$75,000.

14. STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has a long-term  stock  incentive  plan (LTSIP) that  authorizes  an
aggregate of  1,000,000  shares of common  stock for future  grants.  Options to
purchase shares of Airfair common stock granted under the previous Airfair stock
option plan were exchanged for comparable options granted under the LTSIP for an
equivalent  number of shares pursuant to the terms of the Merger as explained in
Note 4 to the financial  statements.  Under the plan, the exercise price of each
employee  option  is  $1.00  and  the  exercise  price  of  options  granted  to
shareholders  range from $.50 to $1.00. An option's  maximum term is five years.
Employee  options were granted on August 1, 1996 and vest in three years.  Other
options are fully  vested.  The fair value of each option  grant is estimated on
the grant date using an option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1996: risk-free interest rate of 6%, and expected
lives of 5 years for the options.

A summary of the status of the Company's  stock option plan as of March 31, 1997
is presented below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The financial  information set forth in the following  discussion should be read
in conjunction with, and qualified in its entirety by, the financial  statements
of the Company included elsewhere herein.

On December 1, 1994, IMS, a subsidiary of BEI,  acquired from an unrelated third
party the net assets that  resulted in the IT division in  consideration  of the
assumption  of $144,394 in  liabilities.  BEI formed  Airfair as a subsidiary on
January 5, 1996, in which to consolidate its interline industry  activities.  On
January  13,  1996,   Airfair   acquired  certain  assets  and  assumed  certain
liabilities   that  became  the  IRL  and  Magazine   divisions  of  Airfair  in
consideration of the assumption of $593,791 in liabilities,  effective  December
31, 1995. Following the organization of Airfair, IMS transferred the IT division
to Airfair,  effective  January 1, 1996.  Effective  October 10,  1996,  Airfair
merged into a newly created,  wholly-owned subsidiary of Grand Adventures Tour &
Travel Publishing Corporation (formerly Riley Investments, Inc.). Airfair became
the  surviving  operating  corporation  following  the  merger  . In view of the
foregoing  acquisitions  and  merger  and its  new  management  team,  operating
strategies,  expansion plans, resources, and other factors,  management does not
believe  that a  discussion  of the  operations  of the prior  operating  entity
(Riley) would be meaningful.

Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition

The Company had a negative working capital of $1,634,160 as of March 31,1997, as
compared to a negative working capital of $927,239 at March 31,1996. The primary
causes for this large decrease in working  capital were the loss from operations
of $784,433  for the twelve month  interim  period from March 1996 to March 1997
and the payment of certain  liabilities assumed in the IRL and Magazine purchase
previously  mentioned.  The Company ended the first  quarter with  $2,953,821 in
current  liabilities  as compared to  $2,003,794  for the prior year  comparable
quarter.  This was a result of not being  able to  generate  enough  cash  funds
during the year to adequately  sustain the acquisitions and management's  intent
to grow sales through increasing the number of publications,  size, distribution
and quality of the magazine.  The largest components of current  liabilities are
accounts  payable of $513,944  (of which  $416,491 are greater than 60 days past
due); accrued expenses of $374,407; due to affiliates (BEI/IMS, the former owner
of  Airfair) of  $78,121;  current  portion of notes  payable of  $530,604,  and
deferred   revenues   relating  to  hotels,   cruises  and  tours  and  magazine
subscriptions of $1,456,746.  A large portion of accounts payable are made up of
amounts due for telephone  services,  publication of the magazine and attorneys'
fees incurred in connection with the aforementioned merger. The Company has been
diligently  working  with its  primary  vendors to work out  payment  schedules.
Subsequent  to year end,  the two  largest  publication  vendors  have agreed to
convert to longer term notes payable. Accrued expenses of $374,407 are comprised
mainly of  payroll,  vacation ,  commissions  , note  interest ,  negative  cash
balances, and general administrative expenses. The amount due BEI/IMS is the net
balance due at the end of the quarter for  various  transactions  that  occurred
during the year,  such as  management  fees.  Deferred  revenues  for hotels and
cruises  represent  the moneys  received from  passengers  that are deferred for
revenue recognition  purposes until the passenger has completed travel.  Amounts
deferred for hotels were  $580,089  and for cruises  $758,126 at March 31, 1997.
Deferred  subscription  revenue  of  $118,531  represents   subscription  moneys
received but not earned at quarter end. Magazine subscriptions are normally paid
in full in advance  for the one- or  two-year  subscription  period.  Revenue is
earned on a prorata  basis as the  magazines  are  printed  and  shipped  to the
subscribers.  Total notes  payable of $784,827 is a  combination  of eight notes
totaling  $400,000  due  shareholders  of the  Company,  two notes  incurred  in
connection with the previously mentioned  acquisition of the cruise and magazine
divisions totaling $299,962, a $48,239 note from a potential future investor and
a short-term note of approximately $37,000 borrowed in order to publish and mail
an advertising  update during the first quarter.  The holder of the  acquisition
notes agreed to a substantially discounted payoff on these notes in April, 1997.
The Company completely  extinguished this debt through the payment of $75,000 in
cash in April,  1997.  The  discount  amounted to a reduction of $231,796 in the
debt balance with the offset being a reduction in the amount

<PAGE>



of goodwill created in the  acquisition.  Of the total of $784,827 in notes, the
current portion  amounts to $530,604 and the long term portion equals  $254,223.
Included in other liabilities  besides the long term debt is a deferred discount
of $54,644  that was  received as a service  discount  from the  Company's  long
distance  telephone carrier in 1996 upon the execution of a long term agreement.
The  agreement  requires the Company to use a minimum of $240,000 in annual long
distance  services for a period of three years.  If the Company fails to utilize
the  required  minimum  usage,  the  discount  will be  forfeited.  The  Company
anticipates  that it will  exceed  the  annual  requirements  and will  earn all
discounts by the end of the agreement term.

The Company had  $1,993,719 in total assets at March 31, 1997 compared to assets
of $1,794,524 at the end of March 31, 1996.  Substantially all of the balance in
the cash  account of  $100,640  consists  of an escrow  deposit  required by the
Company's  bank as a reserve for  Visa/Mastercard  credit card  processing.  The
deposit  agreement  requires  the  Company to fund a total of  $125,000  to this
account  over time.  The  Company has funded  $105,376 to this  account to date.
Subsequent  to March 31,1997 , the Company was notified by the bank that it will
not process the  Company's  credit  cards after June 10,  1997.  The bank made a
determination  that the travel  industry in general and the Company's  financial
condition  at December  31, 1996 were not strong  enough to warrant the risk for
the bank.  The bank will return all excess  funds over $50,000 to the Company on
June 10,  1997,  and will  return  the  remainder  of the funds at the end of 10
months  ( April  1998 )  providing  that the  Company  continues  to  honor  any
chargebacks  during  that  period.  The  Company  has had a history  of  minimal
chargebacks.  The Company has contracted  with a another credit card processor (
subsequent  to  quarter  end ) to  continue  credit  card  processing.  The  new
processor  is charging a discount  rate of 2.95% which is 1 percent  higher than
the previous  processor  and is requiring a six month  rolling  reserve of 5% of
monthly  credit card  receipts.  Approximately  70% of the  Company's  hotel and
resort sales are  generated  through  credit cards.  The accounts  receivable of
$44,766  is  comprised  primarily  of  advertising  revenue  from  vendors  that
advertised  in the magazine and  updates.  Prepaid tour cost and prepaid  cruise
cost of $451,718 and $722,537, respectfully,  represent funds paid to hotels and
cruise lines as of March, 1997 for travel dates that occur after that date.

Results of Operations

Overall Operating Results

The  Company  experienced  a net loss for the  quarter  ended  March 31, 1997 of
$75,323 as compared to a net loss of $163,545 for March 1996 quarter. One of the
causes for the larger loss in 1996 were expenses  related to the  acquisition of
the cruise and  magazine  divisions  in  January,  1996.  The  Company  incurred
approximately $34,000 in relocation expenses in moving personnel from Florida to
the Company's home office in Austin, Texas. In addition, the Company also had an
increase in gross sales of approximately $400,000 for the quarter as compared to
the 1996  quarter.  This  resulted  in a increase in travel  related  margins of
$62,000 to apply against publications and expenses. Operating expenses decreased
$47,000 from the previous  year quarter as a result of  management's  efforts of
reducing  overhead.  Management  also  set a goal in 1996  of  increasing  sales
through  increasing  the size,  quality and  distribution  of the magazine.  The
magazine's  production  schedule was increased to every two months as opposed to
every three months before the Company's acquisition.  The magazine also produces
an update  brochure  promoting  hotel and cruise specials in the months in which
the magazine is not produced.  Management  believes that  increased  circulation
will increase the value of the publications to both advertisers and subscribers.
The Company intends for the magazine  division to increase both  advertising and
subscription  revenue to the point where this  division will at least break even
in 1997.  The  anticipated  value of these  publications  should be felt through
increased sales in both the hotel and cruise and tour divisions.

Revenue

Gross revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $2,559,688 an increase of
$376,383 over March, 1996 revenues of $2,183,305.  Hotel sales increased 14% for
the March 1997 quarter from $915,177 at March 1996 to  $1,044,379 in 1997.  This
increase in hotel sales was primarily caused by the Company being able to better
advertise  its products  and  services in the  magazine and update  publications
purchased at the beginning of 1996. The marketing  department also substantially
increased the number of available  properties  to sell to the  interline  market
during the year.  Gross  cruise and tour  revenue  equaled  $1,451,930  for 1997
quarter,  an increase of $266,856  over 1996's first  quarter.  The Company also
began  selling  cruise bump  protection  insurance to  passengers as a auxiliary
product.  The Company  recognizes hotel and cruise revenues on a "booked,  paid,
traveled" basis,  (i.e.  revenue is not earned until the passenger has completed
travel).

Cost of Goods Sold

The overall gross margin for the first  quarter of 1997 was $403,135,  or 16% of
overall  gross  sales.  This  compares to a gross margin of $362,243 or 16.5% of
gross sales, for the 1996 quarter.  The decrease in the gross margin  percentage
is due primarily to the addition of the cruise  division  during the prior year.
While cruises  typically  have a much higher  dollar value per sale,  the margin
percentages  are lower on the average than hotel sales.  The hotel  division had
cost of  sales  of  $813,848  on sales of  $1,044,379  for the  current  quarter
producing a gross margin of $230,531,  or 22.1% of sales.  The  comparable  1996
quarter hotel cost of sales were $710,827 generating a gross margin of $204,350,
or 22.3% of sales of  $915,177.  The margins on hotel sales have  remained  very
consistent. The cruise division generated a gross margin of $172,065 or 11.9% on
sales of  $1,451,930  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997.  This compares to a
prior year quarterly margin of $136,024 or 11.5% on sales of $1,185,074. Average
margins on cruises can range from 10% to 18%  depending  on which cruise line is
booked.  The  magazine  division  produced a  negative  margin of $2,688 for the
current  year  quarter.  The Company  only  recognizes  those  publishing  costs
directly  associated with the subscriber and advertising  commitments as cost of
goods sold.  Any  publishing  cost for excess  production  and  distribution  is
recorded as Company  advertising  expense as it for the benefit of the hotel and
cruise sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating  expenses  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1997 were  $478,458  as
compared  to  $525,788  for the 1996  quarter.  This  resulted  in a decrease of
$47,000 over the previous  year  quarter.  One of the major causes for the large
1996 expenses were  associated  with the acquisition and operating of the cruise
and magazine  divisions at the beginning of 1996. Total interest expense for the
first quarter of 1997 equaled $27,748 on notes payable. Interest expense for the
1996 quarter was $10,754.  Management  anticipates  that  interest  expense will
increase  materially  in 1997.  The  largest  expense  item for the  Company  is
salaries  which equaled  $238,304 for March 1997 as compared to $251,416 for the
previous year quarter.  This decrease is attributable to management's efforts to
keep operating expenses under control. The Company reduced salary expenses as of
January 1, 1997 through the reduction of personnel and attrition. The last major
expense area were management fees.  Airfair entered into a management  agreement
with BEI and IMS  effective  March 1, 1996.  Under this  agreement,  BEI permits
Airfair to use office space and certain equipment leased by BEI, and BEI and IMS
provide Airfair  insurance,  payroll  services,  office supplies and other minor
office  services.  IMS and BEI charge  Airfair a management fee equal to 0.5% of
Airfair's gross revenue per month for these services.  In addition,  pursuant to
the terms of the management agreement, IMS, BEI, and Airfair agreed that Airfair
would  reimburse  BEI for a portion of the direct  payroll  expenses  of certain
members of management  who serve BEI,  IMS, and Airfair (the "Shared  Management
Members").  The  proportion  is intended to  correspond  with the amount of time
expended by the Shared  Management  Members on the business  matters of Airfair.
These  management  fees and the  payroll  reimbursements  for Shared  Management
Members  totaled  $53,025 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 as compared to a
$95,880  credit  for  the  first  quarter  of  1996..  Prior  to the  management
agreement, all general and

<PAGE>



administrative  expenses  of BEI were  allocated  to Airfair  and IMS on a ratio
basis.  In February  1996, BEI incurred a large one-time gain which exceeded its
expenses.  As such,  both Airfair and IMS were the  beneficiaries  of an expense
credit for that month.
Airfair's portion of that allocation was a credit of approximately $142,000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since  Airfair's  inception,   it  has  financed  its  business  growth  through
internally generated revenue, borrowings from its former sole stockholder,  BEI,
and borrowings  from new  stockholders  subsequent to its spin-off from BEI. The
Company owed BEI/IMS $78,121 on March 31, 1997. In September,  1996, the Company
borrowed   $400,000  from  seven   shareholders   ("bridge   loans")  that  were
collateralized  with 130,868 shares of equity  securities that are owned by BEI.
BEI executed a Security Pledge  Agreement in favor of the lenders.  In November,
1996,  the Company  initiated a private  placement  to qualified  investors  and
offered  up to  2,000,000  shares  of its  common  stock at a price of $1.00 per
share.  The Company has not raised any funds  through  this  offering as of this
filing.  Thereafter,  management  has taken a different  strategy in raising and
conserving funds needed for operations in 1997 and thereafter.  Since January 1,
1997, management has reduced expenses by approximately $40,000 per month through
a  reduction  in  nonessential  personnel,  changing to a lower  priced  package
delivery service, obtaining more services such as small printing jobs on a trade
basis  and  reducing  any  other  expenses  that are not  considered  absolutely
necessary to the ongoing needs of the operation.  Subsequent to the quarter end,
the Company has also raised funds through additional long-term  borrowings.  The
bridge loans were restructured in a transaction  whereby the loanholders  agreed
to the release of the pledged  equity  securities in exchange for the following:
(1) payment of all accrued  interest  through April 10, 1997,  which was paid in
the  amount of  approximately  $29,000,  (2) the loan  broker  received a fee of
$20,000, (3) 40,000 Company common stock warrants were issued to the loan broker
and 20,000 stock  warrants  were issued to a principal  of the loan broker,  all
exercisable  at $1.00 per share,  (4) the bridge loans were  converted to 3-year
notes bearing 12% annual interest , with principal and interest payable monthly,
beginning in May, 1997, the  outstanding  principal  balance is convertible  (at
note  holders'  option)  into  Company  common  stock at $.50 per share,  and no
prepayment  penalties.  With the release of the equity  securities,  the Company
obtained  a margin  loan of  $185,000  with the  stock  as  collateral  with the
Principal  Financial Group in April,  1997. The Company has subsequently  repaid
this  loan.  Also in April and May,  1997,  the  Company  raised  an  additional
$500,000  from ten  investors  through the  issuance of  three-year  convertible
debentures.  The debentures  carry an annual  interest rate of 7%.  Interest and
principal are due and payable in annual installments on each anniversary. At the
option of the Company,  interest  payments due prior to the maturity date may be
made in  shares of common  stock of the  Company  at the rate one share for each
$0.50 of interest accrued and payable. The debenture holder has the right at any
time prior to maturity  to convert  all or any  portion of the then  outstanding
principal balance into fully paid and  non-assessable  shares of common stock of
the  Company  at a  conversion  price of  $0.25  per  share of such  outstanding
principal amount, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided for in the
debenture.  The Company also extinguished (in April, 1997) the $306,796 of notes
payable that were incurred in connection  with the acquisition of the cruise and
magazine division for a cash settlement of $75,000 (See Financial  Condition and
Changes in Financial Condition above). As a result of the above, the Company has
been able to expand the distribution and number of publications  advertising the
Company's hotel and cruise and tour packages which should substantially increase
sales in both areas.  Management  has and is  continuing  to negotiate  with its
accounts payable vendors in order to work out acceptable  payment  schedules for
all parties.

As a result of the transactions described in the preceding paragraph, management
believes that its existing working capital levels, supplemented by cash expected
to be generated by existing operations and cash generated through stock sales or
other  financing  arrangements,  will be sufficient to fund the Company's  needs
over the next 12 months. Management's belief is based on a number of assumptions
including,  without  limitation,  that  increased  gross  sales will result from
increased  distribution (both in terms of frequency and number of issues) of the
Company's  publications and that the Company can continue to operate effectively
at reduced  levels of operating  expenses.  There can be no  assurance  that the
foregoing assumptions and the other assumptions relied

<PAGE>



upon by management  will prove  accurate and any such  inaccuracy  may cause the
Company to need working  capital.  Moreover,  there are no  assurances  that the
Company  will be able to procure  any such  capital  should it be needed and any
such inability may have an adverse effect on the Company's  business,  financial
condition and future operating results.

Inflation

The  Company's  results of  operations  have not been  affected by inflation and
management  does  not  expect  inflation  to have a  significant  effect  on its
operations  in the future  because of the short time frame  between  reservation
bookings and the dates of travel.

Forward -Looking Information

From time to time,  the  Company  or its  representatives  have made or may make
forward-looking   statements,   orally  or  in  writing.   Such  forward-looking
statements  may be  included  in,  but not  limited  to,  press  releases,  oral
statements  made with the  approval  of an  authorized  executive  officer or in
various filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Words or phases "will likely result",  "are expected to", "will  continue",  "is
anticipated",  "estimate",  "project or projected",  or similar  expressions are
intended  to  identify  "forward-looking  statements"  within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("the Reform Act"). The Company
wishes to ensure that such statements are  accompanied by meaningful  cautionary
statements,  so as to maximize to the fullest extent possible the protections of
the safe harbor established in the Reform Act. Accordingly,  such statements are
qualified in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the following
discussion  of certain  important  factors  that could cause  actual  results to
differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

Management  is currently  unaware of any trends or  conditions  other than those
previously  mentioned in this  management's  discussion  and analysis that could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
future results of operations, or liquidity.

However,  investors  should also be aware of factors  that could have a negative
impact on the Company's  prospects and the  consistency of progress in the areas
of revenue  generation,  liquidity,  and generation of capital resources.  These
include: (i) variations in the mix of hotel, cruise, and magazine revenues, (ii)
possible  inability to attract  investors for its equity securities or otherwise
raise  adequate  funds from any source  should the Company  seek to do so, (iii)
increased governmental regulation,  (iv) increased competition,  (v) unfavorable
outcomes to litigation  involving the Company or to which the Company may become
a  party  in the  future  and,  (vi) a very  competitive  and  rapidly  changing
operating environment.  Furthermore, reference is also made to other sections of
this report that  include  factors  that could  adversely  impact the  Company's
business and financial performance.

The risks  identified  here are not all inclusive.  New risk factors emerge from
time to time and it is not possible for  Management  to predict all of such risk
factors,  nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's
business or the extent to which any factor or  combination  of factors may cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any  forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
a prediction of actual results.
