Exhibit          Description
- -------------   ----------------------------------------------------------

A                Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 10, 1997






<PAGE>
                                                                  EXHIBIT A
                STOCK PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT



     THIS STOCK PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT is made as of February 10, 1997,
by and among CFT Management, a Nevada corporation ("CFT"), Ballard Investment,
a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Utah
("Ballard") and William A. Fresh, Trustee of the William A. and Reva Luana
Fresh Charitable Remainder Trust dated November 25, 1996 (the "Trust"),
Ballard and Trust are sometimes herein referred to individually as a
"Purchaser" and collectively as "Purchasers."

     THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE as follows:   

     1.   Purchase and Sale.  

          1.1  Sale and Issuance of Common Stock.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Purchasers agree to purchase and CFT agrees to
sell to Purchasers 200,000 shares of the Common Stock ("Shares") of Magellan
Technology, Inc. ("Magellan") at a purchase price of $.375 per Share.  Of the
200,000 Shares to be purchased, each of the Purchasers will purchase 25,000
Shares on each of February 10, 1997, May 1, 1997, August 1, 1997 and November
1, 1997.  

          1.2  Closings.  The initial purchase and sale of the Shares shall
take place at the offices of Kimball, Parr, Waddoups, Brown & Gee on February
10, 1997, or at such other time and place as CFT and the Purchasers mutually
agree upon (the initial purchase and sale and each subsequent purchase and
sale are designed as a "Closing").  At the initial Closing and at each
subsequent Closing, CFT shall deliver to Purchasers certificates representing
the number of Shares which each Purchaser is purchasing against delivery to
CFT by Purchasers of cash or a certified bank cashier's or other check
reasonably acceptable to CFT for the purchase price then due.  

          1.3  Option.  To further induce Ballard to purchase the Shares
being purchased by Ballard, CFT hereby grants to Ballard an option,
exercisable in full or part, at anytime prior to midnight on November 30,
1997, to purchase an additional 100,000 Shares at an exercise price of $.375
per Share.  The option may be exercised by Ballard at anytime and from time to
time by delivery of a notice of exercise, together with cash or certified
check in payment for the Shares being purchased.  

     2.   Representations and Warranties of the Company.   CFT hereby
represents and warrants to Purchasers that:  

          2.1  Incorporation.  CFT is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing, is in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada
and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  

          2.2  Authorization.  All corporate action on the part of CFT and
its officers and directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization,
execution, delivery and performance of all obligations of CFT under this
Agreement and for the authorization, issuance and delivery of the Shares being
sold hereunder has been or shall be taken prior to the Closings, and this
Agreement, when executed and delivered, shall constitute a valid and legally
binding obligation of CFT. 

          2.3  No liens.  All of the Shares are owned solely by CFT and
have not been pledged, hypothecated or otherwise subjected to any claim, lien,
<PAGE>
encumbrance or security interest in favor of any person.  When sold and
transferred as provided in this Agreement, Purchasers will acquire good and
marketable title to the Shares free of any such lien, claim or encumbrance
whatsoever.  

          2.4  Value of Shares.  CFT acknowledges, agrees and represents
that it, through its President, Donald P. Cox, is fully informed with respect
to the business, financial condition and business prospects of Magellan, of
which Donald P. Cox is a director, including without limitation, the business,
financial condition and business prospects of SkyHook Technologies, Inc.
("SkyHook"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan of which Donald P. Cox has
served as an officer and director.  CFT further acknowledges, agrees and
represents that the decision to sell the Shares is a result of an unexpected
change in the employment and personal circumstances of Donald P. Cox and is
not based upon any solicitation or representation by Purchasers or any other
person.  CFT also acknowledges, agrees and represents that the price to be
paid by Purchasers for the Shares is based upon arms length negotiations
between CFT and the Purchasers which were initiated by CFT.  Finally, CFT
acknowledges that the Shares may in the future increase substantially in value
based upon projected increases in sales, revenue and income of Magellan,
attributable in part to projected sales, revenues and income of SkyHook and
has, nevertheless, determined to complete the sale of the Shares to
Purchasers. 

     3.   Representations and Warranties of Purchasers.  Purchasers
represent and warrant to CFT as follows:  

          3.1  Authorization.  This Agreement has been authorized by each
of Purchasers and, when executed and delivered by Purchasers, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of each Purchaser.  

          3.2  Accredited Status.  Each of Purchasers is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act").  

     4.   Securities Act of 1933.  

          4.1  Investment Representation.  

               (a)  This Agreement is made with Purchasers in reliance
upon Purchasers' representations to Magellan, which by its acceptance hereof,
each Purchaser hereby confirms (and authorizes Magellan to rely upon) that the
Shares to be received will be acquired for investment for an indefinite period
for its own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any
part thereof, and that it has no present intention of selling or otherwise
distributing the same, but subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law
that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control. 
By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents it does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell or transfer to such person any of the Shares.  

               (b)  Purchasers understand that the Shares are not and may
never be registered under the Act on the ground that the sale provided for in
this Agreement and the transfer of the Shares is exempt pursuant to the Act
and that Magellan's reliance on such exemption is predicated on Purchasers'
representations set forth herein.  

               (c)  Each Purchaser agrees that in no event will it make a
disposition of any of the Shares unless the Shares shall have been registered
under the Act or until (i) it shall have notified Magellan with a statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (ii) it shall have
furnished Magellan with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Magellan to the effect that (A) such disposition will not require registration

                                       2 
<PAGE>
of such Shares under the Act, and (B) that appropriate action necessary for
compliance with the Act has been taken.

               (d)  Each Purchaser represents that it is able to fend for
itself in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, has the ability to bear the
economic risks of his investment and has been furnished with and has had
access to such information as would be made available in the form of a
registration statement together with such additional information as is
necessary to verify the accuracy of the information supplied and to have all
questions which have been asked, answered.  

               (e)  Each Purchaser understands that if a registration
statement covering the Shares under the Act is not in effect when it desires
to sell any of the Shares, it may be required to hold such Shares for an
indeterminate period.  Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it understands
that any sale of the Shares which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule
144 under the Act may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the
terms and conditions of that Rule.  

          4.2  Legends.  All certificates for the Shares shall bear
substantially the following legend:  

          "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND
          HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES. 
          SAID SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) THEY
          HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT, OR (B) THE COMPANY'S
          TRANSFER AGENT IS PRESENTED WITH EITHER A WRITTEN OPINION
          SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY OR A 'NO-ACTION' OR
          INTERPRETIVE LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
          COMMISSION TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
          REQUIRED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER."
