Notes to Financial Statements

(1)  Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
     financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
     only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
     the financial statements for the respective periods. 
     Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
     for a full year.  The financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
     financial statements and notes thereto for the transitional
     fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.

(2)  Income (Loss) per Share
     -----------------------

     Per-share information is based on the weighted-average
     number of shares of common stock outstanding during each of
     the periods.  Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants
     and stock options are not included in the calculations,
     since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(3)  Stockholders' Equity
     --------------------

     Changes in the stockholders' equity for the six months ended
     June 30, 1995 consisted of the following (amounts in
     thousands except share amounts):

ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

     Results of Operations

     The Company reported net income of $320,000 and $573,000 for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively,
     compared to net losses of $3,272,000 and $7,175,000 for the
     comparable periods in 1994.  The losses for the three and
     six months ended June 30, 1994,  included restructuring
     charges of $375,000 and $3,010,000, respectively, and net
     losses on disposition of assets and other non-recurring
     items of $2,390,000 and $2,365,000, respectively.  Without
     the restructuring charges and other non-recurring items, the
     losses for the three- and six-month periods would have been
     $507,000 and $1,800,000, respectively.  The improvement in
     operating results is primarily attributable to the improved
     performance of the Company's Products Division and to a
     reduction in general and administrative expenses.

     Sales of medical interiors increased $424,000 and $1,231,000
     for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995,
     respectively, in comparison to the comparable periods in
     1994.  In the second quarter of 1995 the Company recognized
     revenue of $188,000 from the sale of passenger oxygen
     systems and $100,000 from the installation of an advanced
     navigational and weather detection system on a fixed wing
     aircraft.  The remainder of the sales of medical interiors
     for the quarter consisted of revenue recognized upon
     completion of projects begun in the first quarter of 1995. 
     The six months ended June 30, 1995 also included revenue
     from the sale of a medical interior to an outside customer
     and from the refurbishment of an interior for an existing
     customer, as well as revenue recognized in the first quarter
     of 1995 from the sale of passenger oxygen systems.  The
     revenue recorded in the comparable six-month period in 1994
     related to the completion of five emergency medical
     interiors for Bell Helicopters, Inc. for use outside the
     United States.  The cost of medical interiors decreased by
     38.1% for the second quarter of 1995 and increased by 46.1%
     for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
     previous year.  The increase in cost for the six months is
     related to the increase in the volume of products sold.  In
     the three months ended June 30, 1994, the cost of medical
     interiors also included $653,000 of payments for work on a
     medical interior that the Company had subcontracted to an
     outside vendor.  The work done by the subcontractor was
     subsequently determined to be unsatisfactory and was
     reperformed by the Company.  

     Flight revenue remained basically unchanged in the three and
     six months ended June 30, 1995 in comparison to the same
     periods in the previous year.  The majority of the Company's
     contracts with hospital clients are subject to annual
     increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index
     (CPI).  The Company has successfully negotiated increases
     greater than CPI changes for two contracts which have been
     renewed since June 30, 1994.  In addition, during the six
     months ended June 30, 1995, the Company earned $460,000 from
     the short-term lease of one of its aircraft.  The resulting
     increase in revenue has been offset by the termination of
     air charter operations and three airplane medical contracts
     during the quarter ended September 1994.  Flight center
     costs decreased 6.2% and 6.7% for the three and six months
     ended June 30, 1995, due to the decrease in the number of
     airplane medical contracts.  These expenses, consisting
     primarily of pilot and mechanic  salaries and fringe
     benefits, generally vary with the number of contracts served
     by the Company.     
     
     Aircraft operating expenses decreased by 2.8% and 8.0% for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively,<PAGE>
     in comparison to the three and six months ended June 30,
     1994.  The decreases are primarily a result of the
     elimination of eight fixed wing aircraft from the Company's
     fleet since the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  Aircraft
     operating expenses consist of fuel, insurance, and
     maintenance costs and generally are a function of the size
     of the fleet, the type of aircraft flown, and the number of
     hours flown.

     Aircraft rental expense decreased by 53.4% and 47.9% for the
     three and six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to
     1994.  The Company has eliminated six leased aircraft from
     its fleet which had been in operation during all or part of
     the six months ended June 30, 1994.  A seventh previously
     leased aircraft was purchased by one of the Company's
     hospital customers during the six months ended June 30,
     1995, and is still operated by the Company. 

                               -6-

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased 2.7% and
     7.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995,
     respectively as compared to 1994.   The minimal increases in
     depreciation reflect the 3% increase in the depreciable
     asset base from June 30, 1994, to June 30, 1995. 

     The 19.6% and 33.5% decreases in general and administrative
     expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
     1995, respectively, reflect the effects of the Company's
     restructuring plan which was implemented in the quarters
     ended March 31 and June 30, 1994.  The restructuring plan
     included a reduction in the administrative work force and a
     decreased reliance on outside contractors and other
     professional services, resulting in declines in
     administrative expense of approximately $368,000 and
     $124,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
     1995.  The Company's Board of Directors has met quarterly in
     the current year as compared to monthly during the
     restructuring, causing a decrease of $129,000 in costs for
     the six months ended June 30, 1995. 

     Interest expense remained constant in the second quarter of
     1995 as compared to the same quarter in the previous year
     but increased 17.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1995. 
     The increase is due to interest incurred on notes to finance
     the acquisition of two aircraft; one aircraft was placed in
     service in May 1994 and the other in January 1995.  The
     aircraft placed in service in January 1995 was subsequently
     sold in March 1995.

     Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1994,
     included $1,712,000 of valuation allowances and losses on
     the disposition of aircraft and $3,010,000 of restructuring
     expenses.  The Company did not incur any similar costs in
     the six months ended June 30, 1995.


     Financial Condition

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,604,000 and
     a working capital deficit of $972,000 as of June 30, 1995,
     as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $696,000 and a
     working capital deficit of $1,892,000 at December 31, 1994.
     The increase in cash and cash equivalents and the
     improvement in the working capital position in the six
     months ended June 30, 1995, is primarily due to the sale of
     one of the Company's aircraft which generated approximately
     $700,000 in cash after the retirement of the related debt
     and to the positive cash flow generated by the Company's two
     operating divisions. 

     Flight revenues for the Air Medical Services Division have
     historically been higher each year during the summer and
     fall than during the winter.  In addition, the Company has
     signed a Letter Subcontract to design and manufacture a
     medical interior for a Lockheed L-1011 aircraft over a
     period of 10 months.  Formal contract negotiations are
     expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 1995.  The
     Company has also entered into an agreement to manufacture
     and install a medical interior for a Bell 206 helicopter
     during the third quarter.  The Company believes that cash
     flow generated from operations will allow the Company to
     continue normal operations during fiscal 1995 without
     additional external financing.  In addition, the Company has
     four unencumbered aircraft valued at approximately $7.4
     million which could be used to obtain additional financing,
     if necessary.
