PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
CCAIR, Inc. (the "Company") is a Charlotte, North Carolina based
regional air carrier providing regularly scheduled passenger service to 21
cities in Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and
West Virginia, primarily from a hub at the Charlotte/Douglas International
Airport. The Company currently operates a fleet of 25 turboprop passenger
aircraft with 1,199 weekly departures scheduled over a route system covering
approximately 205,000 miles. The Company was incorporated under Delaware law in
July 1984 under the name Sunbird Airlines 1984, Inc. for the purpose of
purchasing substantially all of the assets of Sunbird Airlines, Inc. The Company
changed its name to CCAIR, Inc. in January 1986.
The Company's business has principally involved providing service for
business travelers from small- and medium-sized communities in its market area
to connecting flights of major carriers, principally US Airways, Inc. ("US
Airways"), at the hub operations of US Airways at the Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport. In addition, the Company operates a small number of
flights into Raleigh, North Carolina. In order to market the Company's services,
the Company has an agreement with US Airways that permits the Company to operate
under the name "US Airways Express" and to charge their joint passengers on a
combined basis with US Airways. (See discussion under "Business Agreement with
US Airways" below). The Company believes that its use of US Airways's "US"
flight designator code continues to be the most significant factor contributing
to its ability to compete for passengers and to its historical growth.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Annual Report to years
mean the Company's July 1 to June 30 fiscal years and "fiscal 1997" means the
fiscal year that began on July 1, 1996 and ended on June 30, 1997.
BUSINESS AGREEMENT WITH US AIRWAYS
Approximately 80% of the Company's passenger revenue is generated by
passengers who are connecting with US Airways flights and is determined under an
agreement for the sharing of joint passenger fares and division of revenue with
US Airways (the "Agreement"). The Agreement expires on October 31, 1998. The
Agreement provides that it may be terminated upon 180 days prior written notice
for any reason by either US Airways or the Company or upon ten (10) days prior
written notice by US Airways under certain conditions, including if: (i) the
Company fails to maintain at least a minimum required operating schedule; (ii)
during any one month the Company's flight completion percentage is less than 96%
due to cancellations attributable to maintenance or operational deficiencies
within the Company's control; (iii) the Company fails to comply with the
trademark licensing provisions of the Agreement; (iv) the Company becomes
insolvent; or (v) there is a change of control or ownership of 51% or more of
the Company's common stock without the consent of US Airways.
The Agreement provides for coordinating schedules and reservations,
joint fares and advertising. In addition, the Agreement provides that US Airways
or its affiliates will provide to the Company check-in, ticketing, baggage
handling and security services at eleven (11) airports including
Charlotte/Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina. As of
February 1, 1994, the Company assumed from US Airways total responsibility for
ground operations at Concourse D of the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport
pursuant to an agreement that requires US Airways to pay a monthly handling fee
to the Company. The fee is currently approximately $372,000 per month.
The Agreement also authorizes the Company to operate as "US Airways
Express", to use the US Airways "US" flight designator code to identify its
flights and fares for purposes of computer reservations, printed schedules, and
tickets, and to display the US Airways colors and "US Airways Express" logo on
its fleet of aircraft. The Company does not have the exclusive rights to the "US
Airways Express" name or other attributes described above. US Airways has two
subsidiaries serving the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, Piedmont
Airlines ("Piedmont") and PSA Airlines, Inc.; additionally, US Airways
affiliate, Mesa Airlines, Inc. serves the Charlotte/Douglas International
Airport. These regional airlines operate to destinations not served by the
Company but also utilize the "US Airways Express" name and other US Airways
attributes. The Company pays US Airways handling fees based on the number of
passengers boarded in cities where US Airways provides the Company flight
service and for reservations services.

<PAGE>
BUSINESS AGREEMENT WITH US AIRWAYS, CONTINUED
The Agreement is a significant factor in the Company's operation and
termination of the Agreement would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business. Additionally, the Company's business could also be adversely
affected by events that adversely affect US Airways. US Airways has until
September 30, 1997 to affirm an order for up to 400 Airbus Industrie aircraft.
Confirmation of the deal depends on first reaching a cost-cutting contract with
its pilots' union. US Airways contends that it will be forced to shrink into a
smaller, regional airline unless it can achieve a "competitive cost structure"
via a new pilot agreement. As the direction and details of US Airways' future
business plans have not yet been disseminated, the Company cannot as yet assess
the effect of such plans on its future operations.
OPERATING STRATEGY AND SEASONAL NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company's operating strategy is designed to attract interline
passengers from small- and medium-sized communities in its market area who wish
to connect with flights on major carriers, principally US Airways, at
Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. In addition, the Company seeks to
attract passengers for its local flights between destinations serviced by the
Company. The Company particularly emphasizes providing reliable and conveniently
scheduled service for business travelers.
The Company's passenger traffic is influenced by seasonal travel.
Increases in passenger traffic generally occur in the months of March through
October and decreases in November through February. The Company's operations
also are influenced by the weather, principally in the winter months.
ROUTES
The Company operates a "hub and spoke" route system with Charlotte as
its hub. The Company's operations are a component of the "hub and spoke" route
system strategy employed by US Airways at Charlotte. The Company's route system
currently includes service between Charlotte/Douglas International Airport and
sixteen (16) other airports as well as service between Raleigh/Durham, North
Carolina and Asheville, North Carolina, Charleston and Greenville/Spartanburg,
South Carolina and Norfolk, Virginia.
The following table sets forth selected information about the Company's
route system and scheduling as of September 19, 1997.

</TABLE>
The Company continually reviews and analyzes its route structure for
the purpose of proposing adjustments in flight schedules. Such adjustments are
implemented after the Company receives the consent of US Airways to the
adjustments.
FARES
The Company derives its passenger revenues from joint fares involving
travel on the route system of both the Company and US Airways and from local
fares. Approximately 80% of the Company's passenger revenues are derived from
joint fares, that is, fares which are shared with US Airways. Local fares, which
are fares for flights provided by the Company within its route system, account
for the balance of the Company's passenger revenues.
The Company's revenues from joint fares are dependent on pricing
decisions made by US Airways and the Company has little ability to influence
such pricing decisions. The Company prices its local fares to be comparable with
fares charged by major carriers in similar markets. The Company seeks to
maximize its passenger yields by restricting the number of discount fares for
passengers on flights with high passenger demand.
The Company realized improved average passenger fares of $84.41 in
fiscal 1997. This compared favorably with fares in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995,
when the average fare was $82.25 and $72.01, respectively. The average fare
increased in fiscal 1997 as a result of a larger proportion of revenue
passengers being high yield business traffic. Fiscal 1995 fares were negatively
impacted by a competing airline's increased operations in the Company's service
area. US Airways reduced fares, including the joint fares shared with the
Company, to avoid losing market share and to stimulate traffic. The competitor
reduced operations in the Company's service area in the third quarter of fiscal
1995, which allowed US Airways to collect fares higher than those charged in the
previous environment. The Company currently projects fares to remain at levels
achieved in fiscal 1997 throughout 1998. However, many factors, including, but
not limited to, competition, actions by US Airways, fuel costs, regulation, and
general economic conditions can impact fares charged by the Company.
WORKING CAPITAL
The Company's air traffic receivables are settled through the Airlines
Clearing House and collected monthly, one month in arrears. To reduce the cash
flow issues caused by the collection of receivables one month in arrears, the
Company has obtained a line of credit in the amount of $3.0 million from British
Aerospace Asset Management ("BAAM"), an affiliate of British Aerospace, Inc.
("BAI"), which was increased to $4.0 million in July, 1997.
Under the line of credit, the air traffic receivables, after set-off of
amounts due US Airways and other airlines, are transferred from the Airlines
Clearing House to a pledge account with a bank. From that account, in accordance
with irrevocable instructions, funds are transferred to BAAM to pay for any sums
due under the line of credit and then to Jet Acceptance Corporation ("JACO"), an
affiliate of BAI, for payments due under lease obligations. The balance in the
pledge account is then paid to the Company.
Due to the timing of the Airlines Clearing House settlement in June,
the Company held the net Clearing House funds in its Clearing House bank account
on June 30, 1997. Therefore, the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 1997
reflects the net Clearing House settlement of $4,876,000 as cash. The
obligations to the BAI affiliates described above were reflected as current
liabilities on the June 30, 1997 balance sheet and were paid on July 1, 1997.

<PAGE>
MARKETING
The Company's services are promoted primarily through displays in most
airlines' computer reservation systems and the Official Airline Guide and
through direct contact with travel agencies and corporate travel departments.
The Company and US Airways have agreed to coordinate advertising and public
relations for the US Airways Express program.
In addition, the Company's services are advertised on a cooperative
basis with US Airways. The Company, from time to time, has offered promotional
fares to introduce new service and to stimulate traffic on special occasions and
holidays. The Company also has ticket arrangements with major United States and
foreign air carriers that allow these carriers to write interline tickets on the
Company's flights.
COMPETITION
The principal competition for the Company is the air service provided
by major and other regional air carriers operating from hub airports in Atlanta,
Cincinnati and Raleigh/Durham. From these hub airports, Delta Air Lines
("Delta"), Midway Airlines ("Midway") and their affiliates offer service to some
destinations also served by US Airways through its hub operations at the
Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. The Company competes with Delta and
Midway and with regional air carriers that have joint marketing agreements with
them for passengers traveling to destinations served through hub airports. The
principal customers for these services are business travelers and competition is
based upon scheduling and flight connections, reliability and, to a lesser
extent, pricing. The Company constantly reviews its scheduling and the frequency
of its flights to reduce the layover time experienced in connecting with a US
Airways flight, in order to minimize the length of the combined trip and to
compete with similar service offered by Delta and Midway. To a lesser extent,
the Company competes with various forms of ground transportation, primarily
private automobiles, which are used to travel to a hub airport or other airport
offering direct air service. The Company believes that the principal factors
affecting the Company's competitive position are scheduling and flight
connections, reliability, pricing, customer service and type of aircraft.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 646 employees. These employees
included 185 pilots and copilots, 45 flight attendants, 284 customer service
personnel, 77 maintenance personnel and 55 other management, administrative,
accounting and marketing personnel.
FUEL
Fuel costs constitute 9% to 11% of the Company's total operating
expenses. The Company obtains substantially all of its fuel under a consortium
agreement with other airlines. Such arrangement, however, does not assure the
Company access to any specified quantity of fuel and prices thereunder reflect
market prices for fuel. To date, such arrangement has provided adequate supplies
of fuel for the Company. The Company became obligated to pay the 4.3(cent) per
gallon Federal Excise Tax on transportation fuels on October 1, 1995. Airlines
had a three-year exemption from this tax, which became law during 1992. The
Company recognized expense of approximately $351,000 as a result of this tax
during fiscal 1997, and $275,000 in fiscal 1996.
Fuel prices have experienced significant increases due to market
fluctuations, resulting in increased costs per gallon for the Company. However,
the Company is currently in negotiations with other providers of fuel in an
effort to achieve a more favorable unit price. As fuel expense is currently only
10.6% of operating expenses, the Company does not believe it is cost effective
to attempt to manage fuel price risk. As such, no derivatives or other
off-balance sheet instruments are used to hedge fuel prices.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
The Company is subject to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended
(the "Federal Aviation Act"), under which the Department of Transportation (the
"DOT") and the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") exercise regulatory
authority over air carriers. The FAA regulates air safety and flight operations
as well as aircraft noise emissions. The DOT regulates the economic and
consumer-related aspects of the airline industry. The FAA reviews operations of
all carriers, including the Company, on an on-going basis to determine
compliance with FAA regulations and operating authorizations.
4
<PAGE>
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, CONTINUED
The Company applied for a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity under Section 401(d)(1) of the Federal Aviation Act (the "401
Certificate") in order to facilitate aircraft financing. The 401 Certificate was
granted on September 10, 1992.
Although the Company cannot offer assurances in this regard, it
believes it is in compliance with all requirements necessary to maintain, in
good standing, its operating authorities granted by the DOT and the FAA, and
that its aircraft comply with all applicable Federal and local laws and
regulations pertaining to aircraft noise.
The Company is subject to various Federal and local laws and
regulations pertaining to other issues of environmental protection. The Company
believes it is in compliance with all governmentally imposed environmental
protection standards.
The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") has jurisdiction over the
use of radio facilities by air carriers. Airlines, and in some cases their
personnel, operating transmitters and receivers must obtain licenses from the
FCC, which may be revoked for cause. The Company believes that it and its
personnel hold all required FCC licenses.
THE ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE PROGRAM
Pursuant to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, certain communities
in the United States are guaranteed specified levels of essential air service
(the "EAS Program"). The EAS Program provides for the payment of compensation to
carriers which volunteer to provide subsidized essential air service and are
selected by the DOT to provide such service. The Company has received subsidy
payments under the EAS Program for Danville and Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. DOT
subsidy payments provided no revenues for the Company in fiscal 1997, and 0.5%
in fiscal 1996. Under provisions in the EAS Program, the Company ceased service
to Danville in October, 1995 and ceased to receive subsidized compensation for
service to Shenandoah Valley effective July, 1996. The Company does not
anticipate initiating service to cities under the EAS program in fiscal 1998,
thus estimates no future EAS revenues.

GROUND FACILITIES
The Company presently occupies approximately 11,018 square feet of
office space in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport's old terminal
building, in Charlotte, North Carolina and 15,000 square feet of hangar space
and 10,000 square feet of space for operations use also at the Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport. The office space is used for the Company's principal
executive and administrative offices and the hangar facility contains the
Company's maintenance operations for its aircraft, as well as maintenance
support and inventory. The office space and hangar facility are leased under
commercial use permits with the City of Charlotte, North Carolina. The permits
are a month-to-month tenancy with an annual rental of $163,500 and are
cancelable upon thirty (30) days notice by either party.
The Company's counter, baggage, gate and ramp spaces at the airports
served by the Company are provided by US Airways and its affiliates except at
ten (10) airports where the space is leased from the airport authorities. With
respect to the ground operations at Concourse D of the Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport, the Company provides those services under contract with
US Airways. US Airways reimburses the Company for its costs in providing the
services.

Jetstream 31 14 19 350 270 11.4
Dash 8 4 37 450 290 7.2
</TABLE>
The Company operates its Shorts aircraft primarily on its higher
density and shorter-haul markets and its Jetstream aircraft for lower density
and longer-haul segments. The Dash 8 aircraft were leased to operate in certain
longer-haul and high density markets. All of the aircraft are leased, with terms
for the Shorts extending a maximum of seven years and the Jetstreams extending
for a maximum of five years. The renegotiated Dash 8 leases extend to 2007.
With respect to the Company's renegotiation of its aircraft lease
payments in fiscal 1995 (discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations), the lease reductions would cease
in the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other significant change
in the ownership of the Company.
MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT
The engines on all of the Company's aircraft are maintained under a
continuous airworthiness maintenance program. The engines on the Shorts 360
aircraft undergo overhaul after every 8,000 hours of operation. This interval is
based on the manufacturer's approved sampling program which allows for
escalation at 500-hour intervals after the completion of a satisfactory engine
overhaul. The engines on the Company's Jetstream 31 aircraft undergo disassembly
inspection and repair after every 3,500 hours of operation. This interval is
also based on the manufacturer's recommendation. The engines on the Dash 8
aircraft undergo overhaul after every 12,000 hours of operation. This interval
is based on the manufacturer's recommendation.
Substantially all of the maintenance, service and inspection of
aircraft, except major engine and component overhaul, is performed by Company
personnel. Major engine repair is performed by the engine manufacturer or its
authorized overhaul agencies. Component overhaul is performed by the applicable
manufacturer or an appropriate contractor.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
FISCAL 1997
The Company achieved improved operating results in fiscal 1997,
continuing the trend from fiscal 1996. Operating income and net income in the
current year are $1,395,000 and $520,000, respectively, compared to fiscal 1996
operating income of $886,000 and net income of $96,000. Passenger revenues
increased by 3.9%, with operating expenses held at 2.7% growth. Yield per
passenger mile continued to improve in 1997, resulting in 45.7(cent) per revenue
passenger mile ("RPM") as compared to 44.5(cent) per RPM in fiscal 1996.
Annual revenues increased in fiscal 1997 to $68,488,000 over fiscal
1996 revenues of $66,234,000. The 3.3% increase over prior year is attributable
primarily to increased average fares related to continued industrywide fare
growth. Low fare competitors remain absent from the markets served by the
Company. Additionally, the Company maintained local market fares introduced in
February 1996 to stimulate travel, resulting in enhanced revenues throughout
fiscal 1997. Annual and quarterly yield comparisons are complicated by the
expiration and reimplementation of the federal ticket tax in fiscal 1996 and
1997. The tax lapsed on December 31, 1995 and was reinstated in late August,
1996. The tax again expired on December 31, 1996 and was resumed in early March,
1997. The Company believes that its passenger revenues were stimulated during
the periods the tax was not in effect - the absence of the tax effectively
reduced the cost of air travel. The Company is not able to determine the extent
to which operating results in fiscal 1996 and 1997 benefited from the absence of
the tax, although it does believe that it had a positive impact on its operating
results. A new excise tax formula is being implemented by the federal government
on October 1, 1997; the results of this are not expected to significantly impact
the operating results of the Company.
Available seat miles ("ASMs") decreased 2.2% from fiscal 1996. The
Company discontinued service between Shenandoah Valley, Virginia and Baltimore,
Maryland in December, 1996. Pursuant to an economic analysis of Shorts aircraft
utilization and profitability, the Company reduced the number of flights using
these aircraft in December, 1996. As such, only seven of the nine Shorts
aircraft were scheduled for the last seven months of fiscal 1997. While ASMs
thus decreased 6.1% for the last seven months of fiscal 1997 when compared to
1996, the load factor increased from 47.8% for the seven months in fiscal 1996
to 49.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997.
The Company, while able to implement changes in its flight schedule
after receiving the consent of US Airways, has limited control over the cities
it serves as a US Airways Express carrier. The Company did receive approval to
discontinue service to Shenandoah Valley, Virginia and Montgomery, Alabama
effective July 8, 1997 and September 4, 1997, respectively, based upon
profitability and aircraft utilization studies. The Company is not aware of any
other schedule changes being contemplated that would have a significant impact
on operations.
RPMs increased commensurately with revenue passengers, reflecting
growth of 1.2% over fiscal 1996. Elevated RPMs, passengers carried and average
fares are indicative of the overall health of the air transportation industry.
The Company continued to maintain its upward trend in average fares for fiscal
1997. The fiscal 1997 average fare was $84.41, compared to $82.25 in fiscal
1996.
Operating costs per ASM escalated from 20.9(cent) to 22.0(cent) from
fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997. Contributing factors include increases in
maintenance outside repair expenses, fuel cost, flight operations and customer
service wages and US Airways' fees for ticketing and passenger handling. These
increases were partially mitigated by cost reductions realized in the Company's
aircraft hull insurance, engine overhaul amortization expenses and savings
realized under the first full year of reduced Jetstream 31 lease payments.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
FISCAL 1997, CONTINUED
Flight operations expense stabilized in fiscal 1997 at $23,539,000, as
compared to $23,490,000 in fiscal 1996. Although the Company experienced
significant increases in pilot and flight management salaries, the additional
expenses were offset by reductions in hull insurance rates and aircraft lease
payments. The Company continues to benefit from reductions in the insured value
of the aircraft fleet and more favorable hull insurance rates resulting in
annual savings of $393,000 in 1997. Additionally, renegotiated lease payments
for the Jetstream 31 fleet finalized in 1996 resulted in further reductions to
lease expenses as compared to fiscal 1996. Pilot salaries escalated 4.9%, or
$336,000 over fiscal 1996 to $7,135,000 in fiscal 1997. Under the plan
negotiated with the Air Line Pilots Association ("ALPA"), pilot salaries were
initially reduced by 16% in October 1994, with 4% of the original concession
being reinstated after each subsequent four-month period. The final increase
scheduled under this plan occurred in February, 1996. Accordingly, fiscal 1997
was the first complete year under the fully reinstated salary levels.
Furthermore, annual seniority wage increases contributed to the augmentation of
pilot salary expense. Flight operations management and support salary expenses
also grew by $100,000 as compared to 1996; enhancement of the training and crew
scheduling departments are the primary factors.
Crew travel expenses, comprised of meal allowances and accommodations
declined significantly, from $1,280,000 in fiscal 1996 to $1,078,000 in fiscal
1997. In April, 1996, 14 crews were placed in four newly established crew bases
in Lynchburg, Virginia; Cincinnati, Ohio; Lexington, Kentucky and Kinston, North
Carolina. Establishment and maintenance of these new crew bases resulted in
savings of $202,000 in fiscal 1997.
The Company is obligated pursuant to its contract with its pilots to
match pilot contributions to the Company's 401(k) plan based upon an agreed-upon
earnings formula. The Company has recorded $138,000 of compensation expense
related to its contractual obligation as flight operations expense in fiscal
1997. The Company had insufficient earnings to trigger the matching provision in
fiscal 1996.
Market fluctuations in price variances in and ASMs flown cause annual
fuel and oil expenses to be volatile. Despite a 2.2% decline in ASMs flown, the
Company experienced a 14% increase in fuel and oil expense, with expenditures of
$7,117,000 in fiscal 1997 versus $6,262,000 in fiscal 1996. Fuel consumption was
8.2 million gallons at an average price per gallon of 87.4(cent) in fiscal 1997,
as compared to 8.3 million gallons at 75.8(cent) per gallon in fiscal 1996. Fuel
prices peaked from October, 1996 through February, 1997, averaging 93.8(cent)
per gallon during this period. Average price per gallon had waned to
approximately 81(cent) per gallon by June, 1997. As fuel expense is only 10.6%
of total operating expenses, the Company does not believe it is cost effective
to attempt to manage fuel price risk; thus no derivatives or other off-balance
sheet instruments are used for hedging purposes.
Maintenance materials, repairs and overhead decreased 1.5% from fiscal
1996, as expense was $12,381,000 in fiscal 1997 versus $12,566,000 in fiscal
1996. Maintenance expenses typically fluctuate based upon flight hours and
takeoffs and landings. Maintenance expense per ASM remained relatively constant;
4.1(cent) in 1997 and 4.0(cent) in 1996.
Ground operations expenses increased 6.8% over prior year, resulting in
fiscal 1997 expenditures of $8,373,000 versus $7,839,000 in fiscal 1996. US
Airways passenger handling fees continued to increase. In markets where US
Airways personnel provide customer service and handling, a fee is charged to the
Company; this fee increased 35(cent) per passenger in February, 1997. Fees have
increased periodically as follows: July 1996, $6.50 per passenger; January 1996,
$7.75 per passenger; and February 1997, $8.10 per passenger. While passengers
carried increased by only 10,000, or 1.2%, passenger handling fees escalated
18%, or $555,000 in fiscal 1997.
Ground operations expense is offset in Charlotte, North Carolina
through the Company's reimbursement rate for operating Concourse D at the
Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. The Company's reimbursement increased
from $354,000 to $359,000 in August, 1996 and $372,000 in January, 1997. The
Company cannot predict the timing or extent of any future passenger handling fee
adjustments. Customer Service salaries at Company-operated stations increased
$149,000 due to the combination of general wage increases, service schedule
alterations, and additional overtime.

FISCAL 1997, CONTINUED
Advertising, promotion and commissions expense increased from 14.1% of
passenger revenue in fiscal 1996 to 14.7% in fiscal 1997. On January 1, 1996, US
Airways implemented a new reservations fee structure which resulted in an
additional $.90 per passenger charge. Fiscal 1997 thus received an entire year,
or an additional $370,000 of this expense as compared to 1996. CRS fees also
increased on a per-passenger basis in fiscal 1997.
Total general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1997 were
$4,116,000 as compared to $4,273,000 in fiscal 1996, for a decrease of 3.7%.
While salaries increased by $166,000, property taxes declined $303,000. The
property tax decrease was due to refunds of $118,000 resulting from personal
property reclassifications for tax purposes for the years allowed under local
statute (1991-1995). Other general and administrative decreases resulted from
$75,000 in refunded sales and use taxes related to off-road fuel taxes
originally remitted in 1994 through 1996.
Depreciation and amortization expense declined slightly from $1,814,000
in fiscal 1996 to $1,699,000 in fiscal 1997, as asset additions for rotable
flight equipment, ground equipment and leasehold improvements were minimal in
the current year, and thus little depreciation was generated on current-year
property additions.
In fiscal 1997, recognition of net operating loss carryforwards offset
income tax expense at the statutory rate; however, the Company's effective
federal income tax rate was 21.3% which reflects the impact of the alternative
minimum tax on operations. Income tax expense was $141,000 in fiscal 1997, as
compared to $18,100 for fiscal 1996. At June 30, 1997 the Company had
approximately $5,860,000 of United States Federal regular tax operating loss
carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. These carryforwards
begin expiring on June 30, 2005.
The estimates of future results included above are based upon present
information regarding operations and future trends. While the Company believes
that the estimates constitute its best judgment on future results, the actual
results may differ materially from the estimates.
FISCAL 1996
The operating results for fiscal 1996 continued the positive trend from
fiscal 1995. Passenger revenues increased 6.0%, attributable to the improved
yield per revenue passenger mile of 44.5(cent) in fiscal 1996 from 42.7(cent) in
fISCAL 1995. The result of these overall improvements was operating income of
$886,000 and a net income of $96,000 versus operating income of $553,000 and a
net loss of $362,000 in fiscal 1995. Operating expense increases of 4.6%
partially offset the revenue improvement.
Annual revenues for the 1996 and 1995 fiscal years were $66,234,000 and
$63,039,000, respectively. The 5.1% increase over the prior year was due to the
absence of low-fare competitors in the Company's markets and to continued
industrywide fare growth. Additionally, in February, 1996 the Company
implemented local market fares for travel between Company-controlled
destinations, thus stimulating travel and increasing revenues. Revenues were
significantly hampered, however, by inclement weather in the Company's operating
area during the third quarter of 1996. Severe winter storms caused the
cancellation of approximately 1,200 flights during this quarter. As a result,
the Company estimates that operating revenues were adversely impacted by
approximately $1,100,000. Harsh weather in the northeast section of the United
States caused further revenue losses as connecting passengers with reservations
on the Company's flights were unable to initiate their trips.
The Company experienced yield erosion in the months of May and June,
1996. The yield declined from 44.4(cent) in April to 42.5(cent) in May and
41.7(cent) in June. While some slippage in yield is normal, the presence of
low-cost/low fare competitors in the Company's service area exacerbated the
negative effects.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
Results of Operations, continued
FISCAL 1996, CONTINUED
Available seat miles increased 2.2% over fiscal 1995. The growth was
primarily due to increased daily service to longer-haul markets, including
Columbus, Georgia, Lexington, Kentucky and Lynchburg, Virginia, increasing total
weekday departures to 216 from 213 in fiscal 1995.
While the number of revenue passengers carried decreased by 7.2%,
revenue passenger miles increased 1.6% as compared to fiscal 1995 as a result of
changes to the Company's service schedule. Because the low-fare competition in
1995 was not present in 1996 to depress fares, the Company was able to maintain
higher average ticket prices of $82.25 in fiscal 1996 versus $72.01 in fiscal
1995, thus increasing yield per revenue passenger mile to 44.5(cent), an
increase of 4.2% over 1995.
Operating costs per available seat mile increased from 20.5(cent) to
20.9(cent) for fiscal 1995 to 1996. Contributing factors include increases in
fuel costs, pilot training expenses, US Airways fees and engine overhaul
expenses. A portion of these increases were offset by cost reductions recognized
in the Company's aircraft hull insurance, professional fees and property tax
expenses.
Flight operations expense increased 4.8% to $23,490,000 in 1996,
compared to $22,416,000 in fiscal 1995. In fiscal 1995 reductions in aircraft
lease rates were achieved through negotiations with lessors, which the Company
continued receiving the benefit of in fiscal 1996. Additionally, more favorable
hull insurance rates and reductions in the insured value of the Company's
aircraft yielded a decrease in hull insurance expense of 12.9% or $228,000 as
compared to 1995. Several factors impacted the pilot salaries, resulting in
escalations from $7,428,000 in fiscal 1995 to $8,512,000 in 1996, a 14.6%
increase. Pilot turnover in the fourth quarter was exceptionally high due to
recruiting and hiring by the major airlines. Because the internal pilot reserve
was depleted, the Company incurred significant training costs in order to
maintain necessary crew levels. Additionally, during the period of crew
shortages, flight lines were being covered by existing pilot crews at the higher
pay rates due to overtime. The effect of these factors in the fourth quarter of
1996 as compared to the same period of 1995 is an increase in salaries and
training costs of $480,000, or 30.2%. Furthermore, the final two increases under
the pilot salary reduction plan were phased in during October, 1995 and
February, 1996. Under the plan negotiated with the Air Line Pilots Association
("ALPA"), pilot salaries were initially reduced by 16% in October, 1994, with 4%
of the original concession being reinstated after each subsequent four-month
period. Flight attendant salaries increased 6.3% or $62,000 over the previous
fiscal year due to scheduled service increases.
Crew travel expenses, encompassing meal allowances and accommodations,
remained relatively unchanged at $1,280,000 and $1,366,000 from fiscal year end
1995 to 1996, respectively. In April, 1996 four new crew bases were established
in Lynchburg, Virginia, Cincinnati, Ohio, Lexington, Kentucky and Kinston, North
Carolina, placing a total of 14 crews at these locations. While crew bases are
designed to reduce crew travel expenses, the savings were not evident for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 because of expenses associated with moving the
crews.
The escalation of market prices of fuel significantly affected fiscal
1996's fuel expense. Fuel expenditures totaled $5,406,000 in fiscal 1995, and
increased 15.8% to $6,262,000 in 1996, when the average price per gallon of fuel
increased from 67.1(cent) to 75.8(cent). Total fuel consumption was 8.3 million
gallons versus 8.1 million gallons in fisCAL years 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The increase between years was directly related to the increased service
schedule. Fuel expense for 1996 includes the 4.3(cent) per gallon federal excise
tax on transportation fuels which the Company became obligated to pay on October
1, 1995.
Maintenance materials, repairs and overhead experienced an 8.2%
increase over the previous year, from $11,619,000 to $12,566,000 in fiscal 1996.
The escalation was due exclusively to the increase in annual amortization of
engine and gear overhauls from $3,496,000 in 1995 to $4,393,000 in 1996. From
March, 1995 through the end of fiscal 1996, expenditures related to overhauls of
Dash 8 airframe and engine components were $1,509,000, with amortization lives
ranging from 11 to 48 months. Amortization of these overhaul additions was the
principal factor in the increase in overhaul expense for the fiscal year ended
1996.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
FISCAL 1996, CONTINUED
Ground operations expense increased 6.1% over 1995, as expenses went
from $7,386,000 to $7,839,000. The principal factor in the higher expenses is
the increase in US Airways handling fees that the Company pays as a result of US
Airways handling the Company's passengers in certain markets. Inclement weather
in the winter months caused an additional $200,000 in aircraft servicing charges
in fiscal 1996 as compared to 1995, as deicing fluid purchases drastically
increased.
Advertising, promotion and commissions expense decreased from 14.8% of
passenger revenue in fiscal 1995 to 14.1% of passenger revenue in 1996. The
reason for this decrease was the revised rate structure for commissions paid to
travel agencies, which went into effect during March, 1995. Commissions paid on
travel agency-generated tickets decreased from an average of 10.0% in 1995 to
8.9% in 1996. As approximately 80% of tickets collected by the Company are
written by travel agencies, the 1996 savings from this structure change was
approximately $575,000. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase in
reservations fees charged by US Airways. On January 1, 1996, the reservations
fee charged changed to a new fee structure resulting in an additional $360,000
in expense ($.90 per passenger) during the last two quarters of the 1996 fiscal
year over fees which would have been paid under the old structure.
Total general and administrative expenses decreased 11.0% or $529,000
from 1995 to 1996. Contributing to this decrease were reductions in professional
fees incurred and property tax assessment adjustments. Professional fees were
lower due to the absence of extensive lease and union negotiations that were
present during prior years. Property tax assessments have been reduced as of the
tax year beginning January 1, 1996, going forward through the revaluation of the
aircraft fleet to market value as of the date of filing (January 1, 1996) in the
Company's most significant ad valorem taxing district, North Carolina. This
revaluation and other property tax adjustments resulted in savings in calendar
1996 of $200,000.
Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly from $1,845,000 in
fiscal 1995 to $1,814,000 in 1996, as asset additions for rotable flight
equipment, ground equipment and leasehold improvements were minimal in fiscal
1996, and thus little depreciation was generated on 1996 property additions.
In fiscal 1996, recognition of net operating loss carryforwards offset
income tax expense at the statutory rate, but the Company's effective federal
income tax rate was 15.9%, which reflects the impact of the alternative minimum
tax on operations. Income tax expense was thus $18,100 versus $0 in 1995. At
June 30, 1996 the Company had approximately $7,777,000 of United States Federal
regular tax operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable
income. These carryforwards begin expiring on June 30, 2005.
FISCAL 1995
The operating results for fiscal 1995 reflect significant improvement
over fiscal year 1994. The cost reduction plan initiated by the Company was the
principal reason for the improvement. This plan reduced operating costs by 5.3%,
even though capacity, as measured by available seat miles, increased 5.5%. The
operating expense reductions, while encompassing all functional areas within the
Company, were focused on the following areas: aircraft leases, pilot pay and
passenger handling. Operating results also benefitted from the improved yield
per revenue passenger mile, which increased from 40.3(cent) in fiscal 1994 to
42.7(cent) in fiscal 1995. The result of these improvements was operating income
of $553,000 and a net loss of $362,000, as compared to an operating loss of
$3,877,000 and net loss of $4,756,000 in fiscal 1994.
Revenues for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were $63,039,000
and $62,092,000, respectively. The 6.0% increase in yield in fiscal 1995 was the
result of industrywide fare increases implemented in the third quarter of fiscal
1995 and the elimination of the low-fare division of Continental, Continental
Lite, in the same period. Continental Lite was a direct competitor of US Airways
and the Company in its service area, and US Airways reduced fares, including the
joint fares shared with the Company, to avoid losing market share and to
stimulate traffic in the winter of 1993. The Continental Lite pricing and
service strategy was eliminated by Continental Airlines in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995, which allowed US Airways to alter its pricing strategy and thus
resulted in increased yields for the Company based upon higher joint fares.

FISCAL 1995, continued
The number of available seat miles (ASMs) increased 5.5% in fiscal 1995
over fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of changes in the Company's service
schedule. In conjunction with US Airways's strategy of eliminating jet service
to short haul markets and turning this flying over to US Airways Express
commuter operators, the Company initiated all turbo prop service to Augusta,
Georgia in February, 1995 and Jacksonville, North Carolina and Lynchburg,
Virginia in May 1995. Also during 1995, the Company ceased service to several
cities it had previously served on a shared basis with US Airways from
Charlotte, North Carolina. These cities were Wilmington, North Carolina,
Asheville, North Carolina, Tri- Cities, Tennessee, Columbia, South Carolina,
Huntsville, Alabama and Knoxville, Tennessee. The net effect of this schedule
change was an increase in ASMs, as fourth quarter capacity increased by 5.5%
over the third quarter and 6.9% over the same quarter in fiscal 1994.
The number of revenue passengers carried decreased by 2.9% and revenue
passenger miles (RPMs) decreased by 4.3% in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal
1994. The primary reason for the reduced passengers and RPMs is the elimination
of the low-fare, traffic stimulation environment which existed in the Company's
service area until the cessation of Continental Lite as previously addressed.
Operating costs per available seat mile in fiscal 1995 declined 10.1%
from 22.8(cent) to 20.5(cent), as compared to thE previous fiscal year. The
increases in fuel, maintenance, advertising, general and administrative and
depreciation were more than offset by decreases in flight operations and ground
operations.
Flight operations expense decreased by 12.4% in fiscal 1995 to
$22,416,000 compared to $25,586,000 in fiscal 1994. The principal reason for
this reduction was a 19.1% decrease in aircraft lease expense. See discussion
below under Liquidity and Capital Resources. In addition, pilots' salaries and
related costs decreased 4.7% in fiscal 1995 as a result of the implementation of
a salary reduction plan negotiated with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA).
The reduced pay levels began in October 1994 and will be phased back in over
sixteen months. The plan entailed an initial 16% pay reduction in October 1994.
After each subsequent four-month period, an additional 4% of the initial
reduction was reinstated until February 1996, at which time the salaries
reverted to the levels prior to October 1, 1994. The Company has previously
estimated that the ALPA agreement would result in savings of approximately
$850,000 from October 1, 1994 through January 31, 1996 at present staffing
levels, of which $638,000 would be realized in fiscal 1995. The actual savings
were $318,000, which differed from the projection due to the increased block
hours flown due to the service schedule increase in the fiscal 1995 fourth
quarter.
Crew travel expenses were reduced by 9.7%, or $137,000, in fiscal 1995
as a crew base was established in Augusta, Georgia, to decrease crew per diem
and lodging expenses. A Jacksonville, North Carolina crew base was established
in August, 1995. Efficient utilization of pilots allowed the Company to operate
the increased capacity without adding new pilots, thus pilot training costs
consisted only of recurrent training. This efficiency enabled the Company to
reduce crew training costs by $160,000, or 34.0%. Flight attendant salaries and
related costs increased $77,000 or 7.3%, due to scheduled service increases, and
hull insurance expense increased 11.4%, or $182,000, due to rate increases.
Fuel and oil expense increased to $5,406,000 in fiscal 1995 from
$5,202,000 in fiscal 1994. The average cost per gallon of fuel into plane
decreased to 67.1(cent) in 1995 from 68.3(cent) in 1994, reflecting the
continued savings to the Company from the purchase of fuel through a US Airways
subsidiary. Total fuel consumption was 8.1 million gallons in fiscal 1995 versus
7.7 million gallons in fiscal 1994. The increase from year to year was a direct
result of increased levels of operations.
Maintenance materials, repairs and overhead increased from $11,270,000
in fiscal 1994 to $11,619,000 in fiscal 1995. The higher costs were attributable
to an increase in the number of flight hours flown, however, the cost of
maintenance repairs and materials per ASM in fiscal 1995 was 3.8(cent) compared
to 3.9(cent) per ASM in fiscal 1994.

FISCAL 1995, continued
Ground operations expense decreased from $9,026,000 in fiscal 1994 to
$7,391,000 in fiscal 1995. In July of 1993, US Airways increased handling fees
that the Company pays for its passengers. At this time the Company was paying
$8.24 per passenger handled by US Airways. In March of 1994, the Company assumed
responsibility for ground operations at Concourse D at the Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport in conjunction with the implementation of cost cutting
measures by US Airways. The Company assumed the responsibility for the salaries
and benefits of the Concourse D employees, and in return received $296,900 per
month from US Airways and a reduction in passenger handling fees to $5.70 per
passenger.
In January of 1995, the Company's reimbursement rate for operating
Concourse D increased to $340,000 per month. In March, 1995, the per-passenger
handling fee charged by US Airways increased to $6.20 and increased to $6.50 in
July, 1995. The reduction in ground operations expenses, while primarily due to
the Concourse D realignment, was also due to operational efficiencies
experienced at other stations operated by the Company.
Advertising, promotion and commissions expense increased from
$8,921,000 in fiscal 1994 to $9,007,000 in fiscal 1995, a 1.0% increase. This
increase is directly related to the passenger revenue increase, as these
expenses as a percentage of passenger revenue remained constant, 14.8% of
revenue in fiscal 1995 and 14.9% of revenue in fiscal 1994.
General and administrative expense increased to $4,802,000 in fiscal
1995 as compared to $4,369,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase was primarily
attributable to passenger liability and property insurance increases of
$230,000, or 19%. Passenger liability rate increases more than offset the
reduction in passengers and the resultant decrease in RPMs.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $1,595,000 in fiscal 1994
to $1,845,000 in 1995, primarily as a result of increased depreciation on
rotable flight equipment reclassified from inventory in fiscal 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash needs result from continuing operations including
capital expenditures necessary to the operation of its aircraft, and the
continuing payment of creditors in accordance with its Plan of Reorganization.
The Plan of Reorganization was consummated in September, 1991 pursuant to
bankruptcy proceedings initated by the Company. During fiscal 1997 the Company
satisfied its cash requirements through internally generated funds and
borrowings under a revolving line of credit agreement with an affiliate of an
aircraft manufacturer, secured by all of the Company's accounts receivable. The
Company also utilized short-term loans from certain directors and officers
secured by owned flight equipment, a line of credit with Centura Bank, and
through the deferral of certain scheduled lease payments to satisfy its cash
needs.
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND OTHER RESTRUCTURING
In September, 1995 the Company and Jet Acceptance Corporation ("JACO")
restructured the entire remaining amount due to JACO under the bankruptcy plan,
including the August 31, 1995 installment of $327,000. The amount due was
approximately $1,232,000, net of $402,000 discount at 15% as of June 30, 1995.
Under this agreement, the Company issued a promissory note to JACO in the
principal amount of $676,000, payable in forty-eight equal monthly installments
of $17,727, consisting of principal and interest, beginning on January 30, 1996.
Additionally, the remaining balance due under the bankruptcy plan of $690,000
was satisfied in December, 1995 with the issuance of 325,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to JACO.
The Company is required to make payments of $166,000 to unsecured
creditors in annual installments in the first quarter of each fiscal year until
1999. The Company intends to make these payments when due.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED
FINANCING
During fiscal 1997 the Company had available a line of credit (the
"Line") in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 from British Aerospace Asset
Management ("BAAM"). BAAM is an affiliate of JACO and British Aerospace
Holdings, Inc., the company that had previously collateralized the Company's
bank line through a loan purchase agreement. The Line permits the Company to
borrow up to 50% of a borrowing base, which consists of the Company's
transportation and nontransportation charges to Airlines Clearing House, Inc.
("ACH") or such greater amount as BAAM shall determine, but in no event more
than $3,000,000. The Line is secured by all of the Company's accounts
receivable, bears interest at prime + 2% and was scheduled to terminate on
December 31, 1997, but must be extended by BAAM for successive one-year periods
until December 31, 2001. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, BAAM increased the maximum
credit available to $4,000,000. In conjunction with this increase in the maximum
credit available, BAAM agreed to extend the termination date of the Line until
July 31, 1998 and to increase the amount available for borrowing from 50% to 70%
of the borrowing base.
In November, 1996 the Company secured a supplemental line of credit
(the "Centura Line") with its primary banking facility, Centura Bank. This is a
revolving line of credit not to exceed $400,000 based on its original terms.
Centura Bank did extend this Line to $800,000 for the months of February through
June, 1997. The outstanding balance on the Centura Line accrues interest at an
annual rate of prime plus 2%, and terminates September 30, 1997. The maximum
amount drawn on the Centura Line was $751,000, with that amount being
outstanding on June 30, 1997.
During fiscal 1997, the Company obtained several short-term loans from
certain directors and officers. Amounts borrowed under these loans ranged from
$44,000 to $400,000, and earned interest at the rate of ten percent. The
aggregate maximum and average amounts outstanding under these loans were
$810,000 and $79,000, respectively. In connection with these loans, the Company
issued to the lending parties options or warrants to purchase 55,225 shares of
the Company's common stock.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures consist of major component overhauls and fixed
asset replacement. Capital expenditures in fiscal 1997 were $6,955,000 as
compared to $6,169,000 in fiscal 1996. The increase is primarily due to
continued expenditures for engine overhauls on the Dash 8 aircraft; these
overhauls were completed in June, 1997. Substantial expenditures on Dash 8
engine overhauls are not expected again until fiscal year 2000. Moderate
reductions were experienced in expenditures for rotable parts and aircraft
leasehold improvements. The Company projects fiscal 1998 capital expenditures to
be approximately $3,800,000, providing consummation of the fleet restructuring
plan as described under Proposed Transactions. The components of the 1998
capital budget are $2,200,000 of engine overhauls, $300,000 of airframe and
landing gear overhauls on the Company's aircraft and $1,300,000 for other
capital items.
OPERATING CASH FLOW
The Company receives payments for airline tickets under interline
agreements through the Airlines Clearing House one month in arrears.
Historically, this payment in arrears has caused significant cash flow problems
in the last half of each month. The Company has a line of credit with BAAM to
provide a steady cash flow between ACH settlements. The Company believes that
the restructuring stated above and improved revenue environment will provide
sufficient cash flows to provide for continuing operations, capital expenditures
and scheduled debt and bankruptcy payments absent adverse changes in current
market conditions. If operating cash flows and the Line are insufficient to meet
obligations, the Company has these financing sources available: issuance of
stock, short-term loans from officers and directors, extending terms with trade
creditors and restructuring aircraft lease payments.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES,CONTINUED
OPERATING CASH FLOW, continued
The Company received the June Airlines Clearing House ("ACH") payment
on the scheduled settlement date of June 30, 1997. However, because the first
business day subsequent to receipt of funds was July 1, 1997, the Company
maintained possession of the full settlement amount of $4,876,000 as of June 30,
1997. Ordinarily, BAAM receives payments from the settlement on the first
business day subsequent to the transfer to satisfy the Line balance ($3,000,000
plus interest of $22,000 at June 30, 1997) and accrued aircraft lease payments
due to JACO ($351,000), with the remaining funds to the Company's account. Other
short-term liabilities settled from the residual funds on July 1, 1997 included
the Centura Line of $751,000 plus interest of $3,000 and outstanding loans from
Company Directors and Officers in the amount of $200,000.
Accounts receivable decreased to $5,629,000 in fiscal 1997 from
$5,937,000 in fiscal 1996. The decrease is due to lower passenger revenue in
June, 1997 versus June, 1996 attributable primarily to a decrease in passenger
traffic from June of 1996 compared to June, 1997.
Other noncurrent assets increased from $632,000 in fiscal 1996 to
$829,000 in 1997 as prepayments for component overhauls expected to be completed
in a time period greater than the next twelve months increased by $197,000
between the respective balance sheet dates.
Accounts payable remained stable at $5,521,000 in fiscal 1997 as
compared to $5,546,000 in fiscal 1996 due to similar timing of the monthly
Clearing House settlement. Notes payable, including current maturities,
decreased from $2,226,000 in fiscal 1996 to $1,885,000 in 1997 as a result of
scheduled debt payments.
PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
The Company and its advisors, Barlow Partners, have determined that the
elimination of the Shorts aircraft from the fleet would positively impact the
operating results of the Company. Long-term savings would be achieved in the
areas of reduced spare parts inventories, reduced personnel training expenses,
and reduced lease rates per flight hour. The Company would also realize
improvements in performance measures such as on-time departures and arrivals,
denied boardings and flight cancellations.
To this end, the Company is currently in negotiations with the aircraft
lessor to terminate the Shorts leases and return the aircraft. In return, the
Company is proposing to issue a subordinated note, convertible to common stock.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, principal payments on the note
would be paid in either cash or stock at the Company's discretion. Interest
would begin accruing from the date of the agreement, and although interest is
required to be paid in cash, the first interest payment under the note would not
be due until January, 1999. If the transaction is consummated, the face amount
of the note is projected to be approximately $8,000,000. This amount would
encompass approximately $1,800,000 of liabilities (accrued leases and notes
payable) currently recorded in the Company's financial statements at June 30,
1997.
Under this proposed transaction, the Company anticipates having to meet
certain return conditions, which would entail performing two engine overhauls
(approximately $500,000 in the aggregate). The Company has the same sources of
cash to meet the return conditions as it does to fund continuing operations, as
outlined above.
The Company is also currently negotiating with BAAM to return its
entire Jetstream 31 fleet and acquire Super 31 aircraft under lease. Under the
terms of the proposed transaction, in return for leasing 14 Super 31 aircraft
through December, 2004, the Company would be able to reduce its rental payments
on Jetstream aircraft by approximately $10,000 per month per aircraft. While
both aircraft have 19 seats, the Super 31 aircraft are approximately five years
newer than the Jetstream 31 aircraft which average 11 years of age, resulting in
reduced maintenance expense and other savings based on operational factors. The
Super 31 aircraft are also faster, more fuel efficient and operate with less
weight restrictions than their precursors. While the Jetstream 31 leases have
return conditions which must be satisfied, the Company's cash outlays related to
these return conditions are projected to be less than $20,000. The Company is
also attempting to acquire six additional Super 31 aircraft to meet short-term
operating needs. The leases on these six incremental aircraft are not
anticipated to exceed one year in duration from inception and are projected to
be at the same lease rate as the 14 aircraft described above.

On December 20, 1996, US Airways notified the Company that it was
amending the service agreement between US Airways and the Company to change the
method for the division of revenue on joint fares effective with tickets used on
or after July 1, 1997. The implementation of this service agreement amendment
has been delayed. US Airways is still studying the ramifications of this
amendment and the ultimate timing of the implementation of this plan, if it is
implemented at all, is uncertain. Preliminary analysis by the Company indicates
that US Airways will capture an additional 4% of revenues presently allocated to
the Company if and when the plan is implemented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO CCAIR, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CCAIR, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements
of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CCAIR, Inc. as of
June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index to
financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of these financial statements follows:
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - CCAIR, Inc. is an
independent regional airline providing scheduled passenger service as
US Airways Express in the southeast United States. CCAIR, Inc. operates
within one industry (air transportation) and, accordingly, no segment
information is provided.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Passenger revenue is recognized when service is
rendered. Public service revenue represents Federal subsidies received
for providing Essential Air Service to certain communities which
produce insufficient air traffic to profitably support such service.
Rates for such transportation services are determined under the Federal
Aviation Act by the Department of Transportation. Revenue is recognized
when service is rendered.
FREQUENT TRAVELER AWARDS - The Company does not sponsor its own
frequent traveler program. It does honor the US Airways program but
limits the available program seats. The Company's share of future
travel awards to be incurred, if any, is not determinable but
usage of such awards are believed by management to be immaterial.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash equivalents include all investments
with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash
equivalents are principally held by one bank.
RECEIVABLES - The Company's air traffic receivables are settled through
the Airlines Clearing House and collected monthly, one month in
arrears.
INVENTORIES - Inventories consist principally of expendable spare parts
and operating supplies and are valued at the lower of cost or market,
determined on an average cost basis. Expendable parts are recorded as
inventory when purchased and charged to operations as used.
PREPAID EXPENSES - Prepaid expenses include prepaid insurance and
prepaid maintenance (see "Maintenance" section of Note 1 for additional
discussion).
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION - Property and equipment are depreciated
to estimated residual values on the straight-line method over their
economic useful service lives, ranging as follows:
Flight equipment, excluding spare engines
and major overhauls 10 years
Ground and other property and equipment 3-10 years
Spare engines are depreciated based on actual hours of usage, with a
total estimated flying time of 60,000 hours. Major overhauls of flight
equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the period to the next
overhaul. See "Maintenance" section of Note 1 for additional
discussion.
Leasehold improvements and flight equipment held under capital leases
are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
service lives of the related assets, not exceeding the lease term. Cost
and accumulated depreciation of property retired or otherwise disposed
of are removed from the accounts, and the related gain or loss is
included in other income.
F-7

CCAIR, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
--------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
MAINTENANCE - Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred except
for major overhauls. The costs of major overhauls are capitalized when
incurred and amortized over the period to the next overhaul (generally
1-4 years). The Company has entered into two maintenance agreements
under which the Company prepays for certain engine overhauls based on
hours flown. At the time of overhaul, the Company transfers related
prepaid amounts to property and equipment, and begins amortization over
the period to the next overhaul (generally 1-4 years). At June 30, 1997
and 1996, approximately $1,315,000 and $1,132,000, respectively, has
been prepaid under the agreements, of which approximately $521,000 and
$537,000 is included in prepaid expenses on the accompanying 1997 and
1996 balance sheets. The remaining $794,000 and $595,000 is included in
other noncurrent assets in the accompanying 1997 and 1996 balance
sheets, respectively, as it relates to overhauls that management
expects not to occur within the next twelve months.
DEFERRED CREDITS - As incentives for the Company to integrate new
aircraft into its fleet, certain aircraft manufacturers have provided
the Company with cash, spare parts and other credits. These deferred
credits are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related operating leases as reductions in rent expense. In addition,
beginning in fiscal 1995, deferred credits also include lease expense
in excess of lease payments (see Note 5).
INCOME TAXES - Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based
on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse (see Note 9).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amount of the
Company's financial instruments approximates fair value at June 30,
1997 and 1996.
INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE - Income (loss) per common share is
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after
consideration of the effect of common stock equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES - 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 at 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.
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts included in prior years' financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with 1997 presentation.
THE FILING - As a result of cash flow difficulties and the need for
protection based upon its defaults under certain leasing and financing
arrangements, the Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 5,
1990.
THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (THE "PLAN")
Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior
to the filing of the petition for relief under the Federal Bankruptcy
laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as
Debtor-in-Possession. Additional claims arose subsequent to the filing
date through September 3, 1991, the Plan's effective date. Such claims
resulted from rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and
from the determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or agreed to by the
parties-in-interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other
disputed amounts. Claims secured against the Debtor's assets ("Secured
Claims") also are stayed, although holders of such claims have the
right to seek relief from the stay. Secured claims are collateralized
primarily by liens on the Company's property and equipment.

--------------------
2. PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11
THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (THE "PLAN")
The Company received approval from the Bankruptcy Court (the "Court")
to pay or otherwise honor certain of its prepetition obligations,
including employee wages, insurance, and payables to US Airways in the
normal course of business. The Company determined that there was
insufficient collateral to cover the interest portion of scheduled
payments on its prepetition debt obligations and discontinued accruing
interest on these obligations. Contractual interest on those
prepetition obligations was approximately $847,000, which was $739,000
in excess of reported interest expense in 1991. Chapter 11 provides for
reorganization of the Company's debt and equity structure and allows
the business to continue operations. Subsequent to filing Chapter 11,
the Company engaged in negotiations with its creditors and other
parties-in-interest toward achieving a plan of reorganization and a
settlement of outstanding claims against the Company. As a result of
these negotiations, the Company filed a Plan of Reorganization on April
10, 1991, a Revised Plan of Reorganization on May 3, 1991 and a Revised
and Amended Plan of Reorganization on June 12, 1991 (the "Plan") with
the Court. On July 19, 1991, the creditors and the Court confirmed the
Plan effective September 3, 1991.
In the process of developing the Plan intended to return the Company to
profitable operations, management evaluated its aircraft fleet, route
system, and relationship with US Airways, Inc. Under the Bankruptcy
Code, the Company elected to assume or reject certain aircraft leases,
real and personal property leases, service contracts and other
executory prepetition contracts subject to the Court's review. During
1991, the Company returned three (3) owned aircraft and twelve (12)
leased aircraft, although subsequently the Company accepted and took
back four (4) of the leased aircraft.
DISTRIBUTION TO CREDITORS UNDER THE PLAN - The provisions of the Plan
divide claims and interests into fourteen (14) classes and contain
various repayment provisions and compromises of allowed claims. The
principal Plan provisions vary depending on the class of claims and are
as follows:
1. Payment of ten (10) to twenty (20) percent of allowed claims
at the time of the Plan's effective date, with the remainder
of such claims paid in equal annual installments over up to
eight (8) years;
2. Return of aircraft, parts or equipment in satisfaction of
allowed claims or in accordance with settlement agreements;
3. Release of certain liens on aircraft parts and equipment;
4. Issuance of common shares in payment of allowed claims;
5. Compromise of claims for prepetition and postpetition accrued
aircraft lease payments; assumption of certain aircraft
leases, payment of accrued prepetition and postpetition lease
payments on rejected aircraft leases and settlement payments
at the effective date as well as in future equal annual
installments over up to eight (8) years (see Note 7).
3. US AIRWAYS AGREEMENT
The Company and US Airways Group, Inc. ("US Airways"), an unaffiliated
company, have entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") expiring on
October 31, 1998, whereby the Company provides regional air service on
air routes of US Airways. The majority of passenger revenue is
generated from the Agreement through joint passenger fares and division
of revenue with US Airways. The Company receives use of various US
Airways service marks including use of the designator code and US
Airways logo and color patterns. Under the contract, the Company is
obligated to pay US Airways for reservation services and various ground
support services (exclusive of aircraft fueling).

--------------------
3. US AIRWAYS AGREEMENT, CONTINUED
The Company is required to maintain certain flight completion factors
and to meet other conditions as specified in the Agreement. As of June
30, 1997, the Company is in compliance with all requirements. Should an
event of default occur, the Agreement provides that US Airways has the
right to terminate the Agreement upon ten (10) days' written notice.
The Agreement also provides that it may be terminated by either party
upon 180 days' notice.
A summary of other transactions and year-end account balances with US
Airways and subsidiaries is as follows:

</TABLE>
5. LEASE TRANSACTIONS
The Company operates using significant amounts of leased property,
including aircraft, equipment and facilities. Leases generally are on a
long-term, net rent basis whereby taxes, insurance and maintenance are
paid by the Company. Rental expenses incurred under all operating
leases totaled approximately $11,051,000, $11,200,000, and $10,934,000
for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Monthly
rentals under one operating lease are required to be paid in full each
month at the time receivables are collected from the Airlines Clearing
House. Flight and ground equipment with a capitalized cost of
approximately $4,498,000 is included in property and equipment, less
accumulated amortization at June 30, 1997 and 1996 of approximately
$2,831,000 and $2,485,000, respectively.
The Company leases aircraft and certain equipment from three different
lessors. In fiscal 1994, the Company failed to meet certain lease
payment obligations totaling approximately $585,000 under aircraft
lease agreements with Mellon Financial Services Corporation #3
("Mellon"), resulting in cancellation of the related agreements. The
Company operated the aircraft under interim leases with Mellon through
November, 1994. In November, 1994, CIT Leasing Corporation ("CIT"),
acquired the four Dash 8 aircraft from Mellon. The Company subsequently
signed new lease agreements with CIT, which expire in June, 2007,
resulting in an annual reduction of approximately $516,000 in aircraft
rental payments. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 1995,
the Company reversed the $585,000 of accrued rental payments previously
due to Mellon as a reduction of flight operations expense.
The Company did not make lease payments due Shorts in July 1995,
October 1996 and January and April of 1997; the total of past due
payments is $1,224,000. The Company is currently negotiating a
settlement of this liability through the planned issuance of a
convertible debenture. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has recorded
the lease payments as a current liability.
F-10
<PAGE>
CCAIR, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
--------------------
5. LEASE TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED
The Company entered into a revised aircraft lease agreement with
Shorts, effective October 1, 1994, for the Company's nine Shorts 360
aircraft. This revised agreement provided for reductions in lease
payments aggregating approximately $94,000 per month for the remainder
of the lease term. In addition, the Company entered into a revised
aircraft agreement with Jet Acceptance Corporation ("JACO"), effective
September 1, 1994, for the Company's twelve Jetstream 31 aircraft. This
revised agreement provided for reductions in lease payments aggregating
approximately $98,000 per month through December 31, 1995. In
September, 1995, JACO agreed to extend the lease reductions for the
remainder of the lease term. The JACO lease reductions would cease in
the event of a change in control of the Company. Additionally, the
Company has agreed to lease replacement Jetstream 31 aircraft, at
further reduced rates through December, 2001, upon the expiration of
seven of the current leases with JACO during calendar years 1997, 1998
and 1999. The Company also committed to lease two additional Jetstream
31 aircraft during 1995, which were leased by the Company in June and
December, 1995. The lease terms for the additional aircraft expire in
December, 2001. The Company has accounted for the modifications to the
JACO lease agreements as they have occurred. As a result, the Company
recorded a deferred credit of approximately $906,000, representing the
excess of rent expense recorded on a straight line basis over actual
payments made from September, 1994 through September, 1995. This amount
will reduce lease expense over the remaining term of the leases. At
June 30, 1997, $466,000 (net of amortization of $440,000) of such
excess rent expense is included in deferred credits on the accompanying
balance sheets.
Future minimum lease payments required under capital and noncancelable
operating leases with terms of greater than one year, under these new
lease agreements, are as follows:

6. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
In February, 1995, the Company obtained a line of credit (the "Line of
Credit") in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, with an increase to
$3,000,000 in July, 1996, from British Aerospace Asset Management
("BAAM"), formerly JSX Capital Corporation. BAAM is an affiliate of Jet
Acceptance Corporation, the leasing company for the Company's fleet of
Jetstream 31 aircraft, and British Aerospace Holdings, Inc., the
company that had previously collateralized the Company's line of credit
from NationsBank, N.A. through a loan purchase agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
--------------------
6. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS, CONTINUED
The Line of Credit permits the Company to borrow up to 50% of a
borrowing base, consisting of the Company's transportation and
nontransportation charges to Airlines Clearing House, Inc. or such
greater amount as BAAM shall determine, but in no event more than $3.0
million. The Line of Credit is secured by all of the Company's accounts
receivable, bears interest at prime + 2% and was scheduled to terminate
on December 31, 1997. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, BAAM agreed to
increase the maximum credit available to $4 million and extend the
termination date to July 31, 1998. Under the provisions of the Line of
Credit, the Company must comply with certain restrictive operational
covenants. As of June 30, 1997 the Company is in compliance with all
covenants. Average amounts outstanding under the credit line were
approximately $2,307,000 and $1,825,000 during 1997 and 1996,
respectively. There was $3,000,000 and $2,500,000 outstanding under the
Line of Credit at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In November, 1996 the Company secured a line of credit with its primary
banking facility, Centura Bank. This is a $400,000 revolving line of
credit, with seasonal increases to $800,000 (not to exceed a total
advance of all credit facilities on Airlines Clearing House net
receivables). This line is secured by the titles to certain ground
equipment and vehicles, bears interest at prime plus 2%, and expires on
September 30, 1997. There was $751,000 outstanding under this line as
of June 30, 1997, with an average amount outstanding during fiscal 1997
of $275,000.
During fiscal 1997 and 1996, the Company obtained short-term loans from
certain directors and officers. Amounts borrowed under these loans
ranged from $44,000 to $400,000 during fiscal 1997 and $50,000 to
$400,000 during fiscal 1996. Interest at rates related to these loans
were ten percent during fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996. The aggregate
maximum and average amounts outstanding under these loans were $810,000
and $79,000 during fiscal 1997 and $810,000 and $119,000 during fiscal
1996, respectively. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, $200,000 and $810,000,
respectively, were outstanding under these loans. In connection with
these loans, the Company issued to the lending officers and directors
options and warrants to purchase 55,225 and 59,625 shares of the
Company's common stock during fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively (see
Note 10).

7. LONG-TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED
On August 31, 1994, the Company did not make a bankruptcy plan annual
installment payment of $254,000 to Shorts. On March 21, 1995 the
Company entered into a $573,000 note agreement with Shorts, whereby the
Company agreed to repay the $254,000, along with $318,500 in missed
lease payments (see Note 5), in three equal installments due June 1,
July 1, and August 1, 1995, along with interest at 10%. At June 30,
1995, $378,500 remained due to Shorts under this note agreement. In
September, 1995, the Company reached an agreement with Shorts to
restructure the payment of their outstanding note payable and the
payment of the entire remaining amount due to Shorts under the
bankruptcy plan (approximately $466,000, net of $43,000 discount at 15%
as of June 30, 1995). Under this agreement, in consideration of the
past due note payable as well as the remaining bankruptcy payments, the
Company issued a promissory note to Shorts in the principal amount of
$892,067, payable in forty-eight equal monthly installments of $22,625,
consisting of principal and interest, beginning on October 1, 1995. At
June 30, 1997, $598,370 was outstanding on this note.
A bankruptcy plan annual installment payment of $242,000, originally
due to JACO on August 31, 1994, was paid in four equal installments
during fiscal 1995. The Company did not pay a bankruptcy plan annual
payment of $327,000 to JACO, originally due August 31, 1995. In
September, 1995, the Company reached an agreement with JACO to
restructure the payment of the entire remaining amount due to JACO
under the bankruptcy plan (approximately $1,232,000, net of $402,000
discount at 15% as of June 30, 1995). Under this agreement, the Company
issued a promissory note to JACO in the principal amount of $676,000,
payable in forty-eight equal monthly installments of $17,727,
consisting of principal and interest, beginning on January 30, 1996.
Interest at 10% per annum accrued beginning on September 1, 1995. At
June 30, 1997, $426,008 was outstanding on this note. Additionally, the
remaining balance due under the bankruptcy plan, subsequent to the
issuance of the above promissory note, was satisfied with the issuance
of 325,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On June 30, 1995, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback
transaction with Adallipa Partners ("the Partnership"), a North
Carolina partnership acting through its agent, CLG, Inc., whereby the
Company sold and simultaneously leased back certain aircraft engines.
The Partnership was formed June 30, 1995, by certain members of the
Company's Board of Directors, for the purpose of entering into the sale
and leaseback transaction. During fiscal 1997 CLG, Inc. was purchased
by Centura Bank (the Company's primary banking facility) from a member
of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company received $1,000,000 in
consideration for the engines in July, 1995. Initially, the Company
recorded a deferred gain of $70,000, in connection with the sale and
leaseback transaction. The unamortized deferred gain is approximately
$23,000 at June 30, 1997 which is included in noncurrent rent and other
liabilities in the accompanying June 30, 1996 balance sheet. To induce
the Partnership to enter into this transaction, the Company issued to
the Partnership a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's
common stock (see Note 10).
The Company paid fees of $58,000, $27,000 and $62,000 in fiscal years
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, to a consulting firm which is
fifty-percent owned by a member of the Board of Directors.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $5,860,000 of U. S.
Federal regular tax operating loss carryforwards available to offset
future U. S. Federal taxable income, which begin expiring on June 30,
2005. A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the related
deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of
the loss carryforwards. The Company has $60,000 of investment tax
credit carryforwards that expire beginning June 30, 1999 and $108,800
of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards which are available to
reduce future federal regular income taxes over an indefinite period.
10. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has adopted two stock option plans for incentive
compensation of officers and directors. The Fifth Amended and Restated
Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") provides for the grant of
incentive or non-qualified stock options for officers, key employees
and directors. The Directors' Compensation Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors' Plan") provides for the annual grant of stock options in
lieu of fees for the Company's directors. The exercise price for
options under either plan is the fair market value on the date of
grant. Options granted under either plan may be exercisable over a
period not to exceed ten years. As of June 30, 1997, 51,745 and 185,000
shares are reserved for future option grants under the Stock Option
Plan and the Directors' Plan, respectively.
Warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been issued to
directors from time to time as additional consideration in certain
lending transactions. As discussed in Note 5, warrants to purchase
250,000 shares of common stock were issued in connection with a
sale-and-leaseback transaction with four directions in June 1995. Since
that time directors have provided certain short-term loans as needed
by the Company to meet cash flow deficits. Under resolution adopted by
the Board of Directors, warrants to purchase 2,500 shares of common
stock were granted for each $100,000 in loan amount.

--------------------
10. STOCK OPTIONS, CONTINUED
One director has elected to receive options under the Stock Option Plan
instead of warrants for loan made by that director to the Company. The
exercise price for all warrants has been the fair market value on the
date of issuance of the warrant. The outstanding warrants have either
a five-year or ten-year exercise period. Upon consummation of the
transaction concerning the shorts aircraft discussed in Note 14, the
Company will issue Barlow Partners, L.P., a warrant to purchase 300,000
shares of the Company's common stock.
As of June 30, 1997, 1,310,943 shares of common stock may be issued
upon the exercise of currently outstanding stock options and warrants.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, in accounting for its stock
option plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized
for these plans. Had compensation expense for the Company's stock
option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
for awards under these plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock- Based Compensation, the Company's net earnings would have
decreased by approximately $65,444 ($0.01 per share) and $36,890 (less
than $0.01 per share) in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.2% in 1997
and 6.1% in 1996, no dividends paid, expected life of seven years for
1997 and 1996, and volatility of 62% for 1997 and 70% for 1996. The
weighted-average fair value of an option granted during 1997 and 1996
was $1.05 and $1.43, respectively.
A summary of the status of the Company's fixed stock option plans as of
June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was as follows:

During fiscal 1995, the Company cancelled 533,000 outstanding options
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, which options had
been previously granted under the Stock Option Plan. Simultaneously,
the Company granted 533,000 additional options at an exercise price
equal to the market price on the date of grant, subject to terms as
defined in the Stock Option Plan.
During fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, in connection with the short-term
loans from officers and directors discussed in Note 6, the Company
issued to certain officers options to purchase 12,725, 17,125 and
22,125 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock, at an
exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant. The
Company also issued to certain directors warrants to purchase 42,500,
52,500 and 56,250 shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise
price equal to market price on the date of grant during fiscal 1997,
1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.
On June 30, 1995, in connection with the sale and leaseback transaction
discussed in Note 8, the Company issued to the Partnership a warrant to
purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at an issue
price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
June 30, 1995. The warrant carries a three-year term for exercise.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has been engaged with representatives of and counsel for
Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada as Represented by the Ministry
of Industry, Science and Technology (the "Ministry") in discussions and
negotiations regarding the reimbursement obligation, if any, of the
Company to the Ministry arising from the change in lessor for the four
(4) de Havilland DHC-8-102 aircraft (the "Aircraft") leased by the
Company. The Ministry has informed the Company that the new lessor, CIT
Group/Capital Equipment Financing, Inc. ("CIT") made a claim under
certain economic development insurance provided by the Ministry to the
former lessor, Mellon Financial Services Corporation #3 ("Mellon"),
when the Company entered into new lease agreements with CIT for the
Aircraft in December of 1994. The Ministry asserts that it has a right
to reimbursement in the amount of $16,996,995 but has proposed that the
Company agree to pay $6,000,000 secured by a pledge of an undetermined
number of shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company does not have an agreement with the Ministry regarding the
economic development insurance and has not acknowledged any obligation
to reimburse the Ministry for claims paid under the original leases at
the same time that the Company entered into new leases with CIT. The
Company has made certain proposals for future consideration to resolve
the Ministry's claim. It is uncertain whether the Company and the
Ministry will reach an agreement on future considerations. Based on
information presently available to CCAIR, management believes that the
ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material impact on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
The Company is subject to the regulatory authority of the Federal
Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation. These
agencies require compliance with their standards and conduct safety and
compliance audits. Violations, if any, of these regulations subject the
Company to fines or sanctions. The Company is also subject to other
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
management, the outcome of these matters would not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
12. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash flows include interest paid of approximately $723,000, $804,000
and $627,000 in the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Income taxes paid, net of refunds, totaled $97,000 in the
year ended June 30, 1997.

14. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
The Company sponsors an employee savings plan (the "Plan") which permits
participants to make contributions by tax deferred salary reductions pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. In accordance with the Plan
document and the Company's contract with its pilots, conditions have been met
for the 1997 fiscal year to provide matching contributions of 25% of
contributions made by the pilots. The Company has recorded the matching
contributions as a component of compensation expense and reflected the related
liability as accrued expenses as of June 30, 1997.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company and its advisors, Barlow Partners,
determined that the elimination of the Shorts aircraft from the fleet would
positively impact the operating results of the Company. Long-term savings would
be achieved in the areas of reduced spare parts inventories, reduced personnel
training expenses, and reduced lease rates per flight hour. The Company would
also realize improvements in performance measures such as on-time departures and
arrivals, denied boardings and flight cancellations.
To this end, the Company is currently in negotiations with the aircraft lessor
to terminate the Shorts leases and return the aircraft. In return, the Company
is proposing to issue a subordinated note, convertible to common stock. Under
the terms of the proposed transaction, principal payments on the note would be
paid in either cash or stock at the Company's discretion. Interest would begin
accruing from the date of the agreement, and although interest is required to be
paid in cash, the first interest payment under the note would not be due until
January, 1999. If the transaction is consummated, the face amount of the note is
projected to be approximately $8,000,000.
F-18

CCAIR, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
--------------------
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, CONTINUED
This amount would encompass approximately $1,800,000 of liabilities (accrued
leases and notes payable) currently recorded in the Company's financial
statements at June 30, 1997.
Under this proposed transaction, the Company anticipates having to meet certain
return conditions, which would entail performing two engine overhauls
(approximately $500,000 in the aggregate) in order to meet the requirements.
The Company is also currently negotiating with BAAM to return its entire
Jetstream 31 fleet and acquire Super 31 aircraft under lease. Under the terms of
the proposed transaction, in return for leasing 14 Super 31 aircraft through
December, 2004, the Company would be able to reduce its rental payments on
Jetstream by approximately $10,000 per month per aircraft. While both aircraft
have 19 seats, the Super 31 aircraft are approximately five years newer than the
Jetstream 31 aircraft, resulting in reduced maintenance expense. The Super 31
aircraft are also faster, more fuel efficient and operate with less weight
restrictions than their precursors. While the Jetstream 31 leases have return
conditions which must be satisfied, the Company's cash outlays related to these
return conditions are projected to be less than $20,000. The Company is also
attempting to acquire six additional Super 31 aircraft to meet short-term
operating needs. The leases on these six incremental aircraft are not
anticipated to exceed one year in duration from inception and are projected to
be at the same lease rate as the 14 aircraft described above.
The Company will record the effects of the above fleet restructuring when
consummated which will include a charge to operating expenses for the lease
termination of approximately $6.2 million. In addition, if all elements of the
restructuring are completed as planned, the Company will also write off
approximately $5.4 million of parts assemblies, capital overhauls and leasehold
improvements reflected in the accompanying June 30, 1997 balance sheet.

<PAGE>
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises
herein contained, and the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Borrower, BAH, JACO and Lender agree and do hereby amend the Loan
Documents and the Master Agreement as follows:
1. Increase in Revolving Loan Commitment; Amended and Restated
Note; No Novation. The Revolving Loan Commitment, as defined in the Loan
Agreement, is hereby increased to $4,000,000.00 subject to all of the terms and
provisions of the Loan Agreement including, without limitation, the Borrowing
Base. The Original Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set
forth in the Second Amended Note. Henceforth, all references in the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the "Note" or the "Revolving Note"
shall mean the Second Amended Note. The Second Amended Note is not intended to,
nor shall it, constitute a novation in any manner whatsoever.
2. Termination Date. The Termination Date, as defined in the
Loan Agreement, is July 31, 1998. Lender may, in its sole discretion, extend
the Termination Date.
3. Change in Borrowing Base. The definition of "Borrowing
Base" in the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
(i) "Borrowing Base" means 70% of the Eligible
Receivables. The calculation of the Borrowing Base shall be
based upon the latest Monthly Market Pair Summary and the
latest interim Monthly Market Pair Summary, as applicable,
and, with respect to Non-Transportation Receivables,
Borrower's reasonable good faith estimate of these
Non-Transportation Receivables. In no event shall such
Non-Transportation Receivables in excess of $350,000
constitute any portion of the Eligible Receivables for
computation of the Borrowing Base in any given month. The
calculation of the Borrowing Base shall be subject to
adjustment by Lender at any time to reflect contrary
information contained in (a) the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.,
Settlement Statements Relating to Inter-Airline Accounts
Receivable delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(f) and/or (b)
any alternate source of information deemed appropriate by
Lender.
4. Mandatory Repayments. Section 1.06 of the Loan Agreement
is hereby amended by adding the following Subsection 1.06(d):
(d) Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal
balance of the Revolving Loan and all interest thereon, in
full, on each June 30 and December 31 hereafter. Amounts paid
under this Section 1.06(d) may be reborrowed after each June
30 and December 31 prior to the Termination Date, subject to
the provisions of this Loan Agreement.

<PAGE>
5. Special Undertakings with respect to Aircraft Rents. In the
event that the balance of the Special Account (as defined in the BNY
Disbursement Agreement) is insufficient to pay all of the due and payable
Creditor Obligations (as defined in the BNY Disbursement Agreement), Borrower
shall request an Advance pursuant to Section 1.02 of the Loan Agreement in the
amount equal to the difference of (a) all sums due and payable under the
Creditor Obligations minus (b) the proceeds available under Section 4.1 of the
BNY Disbursement Agreement for application against the Creditor Obligations.
Lender may, but is under no obligation to, waive any requirements of the Loan
Agreement with respect to the making or disbursing of the requested Advance.
Borrower shall request such Advances as soon as Borrower has reason to believe
that in any given month the Creditor Obligations for that month exceed the
proceeds available under Section 4.1 of the BNY Disbursement Agreement for
payment of Creditor Obligations with respect to that month. In the event that
Borrower fails to request such a disbursement, Lender may, but is under no
obligation to, unilaterally make an Advance in the amount equal to the
difference of (c) all sums due and payable under the Creditor Obligations for
any given month minus (d) the proceeds available under Section 4.1 of the BNY
Disbursement Agreement for application against the Creditor Obligations with
respect to that month.
6. Centura Loan. Lender acknowledges that the existence of the
existing $400,000 loan to Borrower from Centura Bank as set forth in the
Commitment Letter dated October 8, 1996 does not constitute a default of the
Loan Agreement provided, however, that any default under any current or future
document evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to this Centura loan shall
constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.
7. Modifications of Loan Documents; Terms Not Changed. Each of
the Loan Documents is hereby modified to reflect the terms of this Second
Amendment and the concurrent modification of the other Loan Documents. The term
"Loan Documents", as contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, shall expressly include without limitation the Loan Agreement, the
Second Amended Note, this Second Amendment, the First Amendment, the Master
Agreement, the JACO/BAH Promissory Note, the BNY Disbursement Agreement and all
other current and future documents (a) evidencing, securing or otherwise
relating to the Loan or (b) relating to the Loan Documents or the Master
Agreement. Unless expressly modified herein, each of the other provisions of the
Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Amendment to BNY Disbursement Agreement. Borrower shall
execute and deliver an amendment to the BNY Disbursement
3
<PAGE>
Agreement, in a form and content satisfactory to JACO, BAH and Lender.
9. Conditions Precedent; Further Assurances. The effectiveness
of this Second Amendment is expressly conditioned on the following conditions
precedent being satisfied to the satisfaction of BAH, JACO, Lender and their
counsel;
a. Execution and delivery by all parties of this Second
Amendment;
b. Execution and delivery of the Second Amended Note by
Borrower;
c. Delivery of an opinion of counsel to Borrower, in a form
and content satisfactory to Lender, addressing the
execution, delivery, authorization and enforceability of
this Second Amendment and the Second Amended Note, the
amendment of the BNY Disbursement Agreement, the
collateralization of the Second Amended Note, and such
other and further provisions as may be required by
Lender;
d. Payment by Borrower of the expenses, including without
limitation, reasonable legal fees, incurred by JACO, BAH
and/or Lender in connection with this Second Amendment;
and
e. Such other and further matters as may be reasonably
required by Lender, including, without limitation, UCC
searches, corporate material, and other material.
Borrower further agrees to execute and deliver such other instruments
and material as may be requested by BAH, JACO or Lender to consummate the
intentions of the parties with respect to this Second Amendment including,
without limitation, the creation, attachment and perfection of the security
interest intended to secure the Second Amended Note.
10. General. This Second Amendment may be executed in more than
one counterpart, each of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
This Second Amendment shall be governed by the laws of North Carolina. The
invalidity of any provision contained in this Second Amendment shall not effect
the validity of any of the other provisions. A default by Lender under the Loan
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (other than the Master Agreement)
shall not constitute a default under the Master Agreement or give rise to any
claims, rights or set off thereunder. A default by Lender, JACO or BAH under the
Master Agreement shall not be a default under the other Loan Documents or give
rise to any claims, rights or set off thereunder. BORROWER REPRESENTS AND
WARRANTS TO BAH, JACO AND LENDER THAT BORROWER HAS NO CLAIMS, AGAINST BAH, JACO

Exhibit 10.42
CCAIR, INC.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose. The Directors' Compensation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of
CCAIR, Inc. (the "Company") is adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on
November 14, 1996. The Plan is designed to compensate the Directors of the
Company for their service as members of the Board of Directors and of committees
in lieu of cash compensation.
2. Nonqualified Stock Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be
granted an nonqualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code").
3. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors
of the Company. No member of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be
liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or to any option granted thereunder. In addition, directors shall be
eligible for indemnification from the Company, pursuant to the Company's Bylaws,
for any expenses, judgments or other costs incurred as a result of a lawsuit
filed against them or any of them claiming any rights or remedies due to their
participation in the administration of the Plan.
4. Formula Grant. Each member of the Board of Directors of the Company upon
the adoption of this Plan shall receive options to purchase 20,000 shares of
Common Stock. Any person becoming a director after the effective date of this
Plan shall receive, on the date of such person's election, options to purchase
shares of Common Stock in accordance with the following formula:
number of whole months
prior to the next November x 20,000 = number of shares
twelve (rounded to the
nearest 100)
As an example, a director is elected to serve on February 10,
1997, the formula would be calculated as follows:
8 (March - October) x 20,000 = 13,333.33 (13,300).
----
12
Upon the date of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company
as established by the bylaws of the Company, each member of the
Board of Directors then serving shall receive options to purchase
20, 000 shares of common stock.
5. Shares Subject to the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock available pursuant to the Plan, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 8 shall be 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share ("Common
<PAGE>
Stock"). Shares subject to options may be authorized and unissued shares or
previously issued shares which have been acquired by the Company and are held in
its treasury. Shares subject to options that terminate or expire prior to
exercise shall be available for further option grant hereunder.
6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Stock options granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by agreements in such form as the Board of Directors may from
time to time approve, which agreements shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions as applicable:
(a) Number of Shares. Each option shall state the
number of shares to which it pertains.
(b) Option Price. Each option shall state the option
price, which shall not be less than the fair market value (as
hereinafter defined) per share of the Common Stock at the time
the option is granted. Fair market value shall be determined
by the Board of Directors on the basis of such factors as it
deems appropriate; provided, however, that fair market value
shall be determined without regard to any restriction other
than a restriction which, by its terms, will never lapse, and
further provided, however, that if at the time the
determination of fair market value is made, the Common Stock
is admitted to trading on a national securities exchange for
which sales prices are regularly reported, fair market value
shall not be less than the mean of the high and low asked or
closing sales prices reported for the Common Stock on that
exchange on the day (or most recent trading day preceding the
day on which the option is granted). For purposes of this
Plan, the term "national securities exchange" shall include
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation System and the over-the-counter market.
(c) Exercise of Options. Each option shall be
exercisable in one or more installments during its term, and
the right to exercise may be cumulative. At least one hundred
shares may be purchased at any one time unless the number
purchased is the total number that may be purchased under the
option at that time. No option may be exercised for any
fraction of a share of Common Stock.
(d) Written Notice and Payment Required. An option
granted pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall be exercised
when written notice of that exercise has been received by the
Company at its principal office from the person entitled to
exercise the option and full payment for the shares with
respect to which the option is exercised has been received by
the Company. The purchase price of any shares purchased shall
be paid in full in cash or by certified or cashier's check
payable to the order of the Company or, unless prohibited by
-2-
<PAGE>
the applicable option agreement, by shares of Common Stock or
by a combination of cash, check, and (unless prohibited by the
applicable option agreement) shares of Common Stock. If any
portion of the purchase price is paid in shares of Common
Stock, those shares shall be tendered at their then fair
market value as determined in accordance with Section 6(b).
(e) Compliance With Securities Laws. The options
granted under the Plan and the shares issuable pursuant to the
Plan may, at the option of the Company, be registered under
applicable federal and state securities laws, but the Company
shall have no obligation to undertake any such registrations.
Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued with respect to any
option granted under the Plan unless the exercise of that
option and the issuance and delivery of those shares pursuant
to that exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of
state and federal law including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall
be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company
with respect to such compliance. The Board of Directors may
also require an optionee to furnish evidence satisfactory to
the Company, including a written and signed representation
letter and consent to be bound by any transfer restriction
imposed by law, legend, condition, or otherwise, that the
shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute the shares in
violation of any state or federal law, rule, or regulation.
Further, each optionee shall consent to the imposition of a
legend on the shares of Common Stock subject to his or her
option restricting their transferability as required by law or
by this Plan.
(f) Options Are Transferable. Options granted pursuant
to this Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or
transferred in any manner otherwise than in accordance with
this paragraph. Options may be transferred by gift, by will
or the laws of descent or distribution to family members or to
charitable organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of
the Code.
(g) Duration of Options. Each option and all rights
thereunder granted pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall
expire on the date specified in the applicable option
agreement, but in no event shall any option expire later than
10 years from the date on which the option is granted. In
addition, each option shall be subject to early termination as
provided in the Plan or applicable option agreement.
(h) Termination of Services as a Director. Except as
otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, if an
-3-
<PAGE>
optionee ceases to serve as a Director of the Company for any
reason other than retirement, disability or death, any options
granted within six months preceding the date that service as
a Director ceases shall terminate on such date. All other
options shall be unaffected and shall remain in full force and
effect.
(i) Rights as a Stockholder. An optionee or a permitted
transferee of an option shall have no rights as a stockholder
with respect to any shares issuable or deliverable pursuant to
this Plan until the date of the issuance of a stock
certificate to him for such shares. No adjustment shall be
made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in
cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date such
stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 8.
(j) Option Agreements. The option agreements
authorized under the Plan may differ from one another and
shall contain such other provisions not inconsistent with the
Plan as applicable as the Board of Directors may in its
discretion deem advisable from time to time.
7. Tax Withholding. The exercise of any option granted under the Plan is
subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine, in its
discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding
liabilities under any state or federal law is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in any connection with, such exercise or the delivery or
purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in such event, the exercise of the
option shall not be effective unless such withholding tax or other withholding
liabilities shall have been satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Company.
8. Changes in Stock. In the event of a stock dividend, split-up or
combination of shares, recapitalization or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation or other similar capital change, an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number and kind of shares
as to which options may be granted under the Plan. A corresponding adjustment
changing the number or kind of shares allocated to unexercised options granted
prior to such change shall likewise be made. Any adjustment in outstanding
options shall be made without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable
to the unexercised portion of the option, but with a corresponding adjustment in
the price for each share covered by the option. In making any adjustment
pursuant to this section, any fractional shares shall be disregarded. In the
event of a consolidation or a merger in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, or any other merger in which the stockholders of the Company
exchange their shares of stock in the Company for stock of another corporation,
or in the event of complete liquidation of the Company, or in the case of a
-4-
<PAGE>
tender offer accepted by the Board of Directors, all outstanding options shall
thereupon terminate, provided that the Board may, prior to the effective date of
any such consolidation or merger, either (i) make all outstanding options
immediately exercisable, or (ii) authorize a payment to each optionee that
approximates the economic benefit he or she would have realized if his option
were exercised immediately before such effective date, or (iii) arrange to have
the surviving corporation grant to the optionees replacement options on terms
which the Board shall determine to be fair and reasonable.
9. Effective Date of Plan. This Plan became effective on November 14, 1996,
when it was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and shall continue to be
effective only so long as there remain outstanding, and only with respect to,
unexercised, nonqualified options issued under the Plan, which are not
surrendered for issuance of replacement nonqualified options under the Plan.
10. Termination and Amendment of Plan. The Plan may be terminated at any
time by the Board of Directors. Unless sooner terminated the Plan shall
terminate no later than November 14, 1999. No options shall be granted under the
Plan after that date. Subject to the limitation contained in Section 11, the
Board of Directors may at any time amend or revise the terms of the Plan,
including the form and substance of the option agreements to be used hereunder.
11. Prior Rights and Obligations. No amendment, suspension, or termination
of the Plan shall, without the consent of the optionee, alter or impair any of
that optionee's rights or obligations under any option granted under the Plan
prior to such amendment, suspension, or termination.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Directors' Compensation Stock Option
Plan is executed on behalf of the Company as of November 14, 1996.
