PART I
Item 1. Business
The Company
Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the
state of Utah on July 28, 1980. On September 18, 1990, the Company exchanged
80 percent of its common stock for 100 percent of the common stock of Sego
Tool, Inc., a Utah Corporation. This was in effect a reverse acquisition of
the Company by the owners of Sego Tool. The Company changed its name from New
Wave Energy to Groen Brothers Aviation on October 3, 1990. Prior to July 1,
1993 the Company's intent was to lease its technology to other entities to
develop the gyroplane, and the Company would receive royalties on its
technology. Effective July 1, 1993, the Company determined that it would be
best for the Company to complete development itself and then manufacture the
gyroplane. Because of this change in business focus, the Company became a
development stage business on July 1, 1993 under SFAS No. 7.
At present, the Company, through its now wholly-owned Subsidiary, Sego
Tool, is developing for manufacture the Hawk gyroplane. The Company's only
operations are through its wholly-owned subsidiary. Hereafter, "the Company"
will refer to the operations of Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. and its wholly-
owned subsidiary, Sego Tool, Inc.
The Product
The Company's product, the Hawk gyroplane (Hawk), flies on the same
principle as the gyroplane (or autogiro) of the 1930s, but with modern
aerospace design, materials and performance. The Hawk is a rotorcraft which
is a hybrid cross between the helicopter and the airplane, employing a free-
spinning rotor blade for lift and an engine driven propeller for thrust. It
is far easier to operate and maintain and it is quieter in flight than all
helicopters and many airplanes. The Hawk is capable of vertical takeoff and
landing, and yet is relatively inexpensive to operate.
Hawk Series
In January, the Company will be flight testing its H2X prototype from
which is being derived the Hawk III (3 seats). The H2X follows the successful
flight of the Hawk I, which was the Company's second prototype. The Company
is presently planning for and has built in mockup form, the Hawk V, a five
seat gyroplane. The FAA has issued the Company a research and development
airworthiness certificate, under which the Company runs its flight test
programs.
The Hawk III will be the basis of a subassembly package to be assembled
and sold in China, and will also be offered to the U.S. "public use" market in
2
<PAGE>
finished form. The Hawk III is the first of four planned gyroplane models to
be FAA type-certified for manufacture, including the Hawk III (3 seat), Hawk V
(5 seat), Night Hawk (tandem 2 seat), and Hawk VIII (8 seat).
The H2X
The H2X has a vertical takeoff and landing capability, employing the
Company's patented rotorhead technology. For vertical takeoff, a pre-rotator
spins the rotor to approximately 140 percent of flight operating rpm at flat
pitch. Adding pitch with the collective pitch control lifts the H2X into the
air using kinetic energy. No forward roll is necessary, and transition into
autorotative flight is immediate. Vertical landing is performed power-off,
with a flare and pitch pull, and no forward roll is required. The H2X has
been built to the FAR Part 27 standards for type-certification, but it is
being powered by a non-certified powerplant, a liquid-cooled automobile engine
modified for aviation. The Company is presently evaluating three alternative
powerplants, all of which are either certified or will soon be certified.
FAA Type-Certified Gyroplane Series
The backbone of the planned gyroplane series will be the Hawk V. The
Hawk V will seat two in front and three in back on a bench seat, similar to
helicopters of this size. All other models will be variants, using the same
basic rotor system. The fuselage of the Hawk III will be shortened and the
Hawk VIII will be stretched. The fuselage of the Nighthawk will be a narrow
version of the Hawk V used in air surveillance and crop spraying. A mockup of
the Hawk V now exists. It is designed to carry five people weighing 180
pounds each, and five bags weighing 35 pounds each, with a range of 550 miles.
Ramjets may be added to the tips of the rotor blades of the heavier
gyroplanes of the Hawk series to better facilitate vertical takeoff and
landing. The main powerplants on the Hawk series will be FAA certified
turboprop jet engines. In addition to the safety of a backup power source,
ramjets can provide a light-weight solution to the prerotation problem
associated with vertical takeoff. After an initial spin-up from a small
prerotator the ramjets take over to attain the higher rotational speeds. With
the rotor being powered at the tips of the rotor blades, there is no torque to
be counteracted, and therefore no need for an antitorque device such as a tail
rotor. The ramjet rotor is capable of sustaining flight for emergency
landings (or greatly extending the glide path), but because of high fuel
consumption, the ramjets will be used for very short periods, mainly during
takeoff.
The Company presently has twenty-two employees. The Company employs ten
additional consultants for FAA airworthiness conformity and design
engineering, marketing and manufacturing.
Marketing
The projected market for gyroplanes can be broken into three general
categories, with their respective sub-categories as shown in the following
tabulation.

C. Sport Aviation
At present the U.S. and international market for rotorcraft described
above is largely not being served. Airplanes are not capable of vertical
takeoff and landing, which is a requirement of the above markets in many
cases, and helicopters are too expensive. A Bell 206 helicopter (5 seat) cost
more than $300 per flight hour, while it is estimated that the Hawk will cost
less than half of that of a helicopter. It is the Company's plan, with its
prototype gyroplanes, to deliver rotary wing (helicopter) performance at near
fixed-wing (airplane) prices.
While the Company is attempting to serve the U.S. market first, there
has been acute interest by foreign companies and governments, with attractive
monetary offers, for locating manufacturing facilities in those countries.
The Company is now negotiating with China, Portugal, and South Africa. The
Company has begun taking orders from China. The Company has signed a contract
with a private company in China, the Shanghai Energy and Chemical Company
(SECC), to supply 200 Hawk III gyroplanes, an order totaling more than $40
million. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not yet reflect
these pending orders as the sales process is not yet complete.
4
<PAGE>
The China Market
A key provision of the SECC contract is that the gyroplanes be certified
for the Chinese market. SECC supplies natural gas and propane to urban
housing, as well as fine chemicals to industry. The plan is to ship
subassemblies to Nanjing, China for final assembly by a Company wholly-owned
Chinese subsidiary. First deliveries are planned for 1998. It is common
practice for aircraft manufacturing companies to take orders up to two years
before delivery, especially on a new design such as the Hawk gyroplane. SECC
has entered the transportation business as a necessity in distributing its
energy and chemical products. As an extension of this business, SECC plans to
transport people in a regional air-taxi business, using the Hawk Gyroplane.
Provisions in the Contract between the Company and SECC will allow SECC to
substitute, at the higher cost, Hawk Vs for Hawk IIIs as they become
available.
The Company has a memorandum of understanding with a Chinese aviation
company that its subassemblies can be assembled in China and certified for the
China market. In 1994, the Company signed Letters of Intent to begin a Joint
Venture with two aviation entities in the People's Republic of China for the
production of the Hawk V, its five seat gyroplane. The first entity is the
Nanjing Light Aircraft Company, Inc. (NLAC), comprised of officers and
engineers who also hold positions at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and
Astronautics. The second entity is the Research Institute of Structural
Aeronautical Composites (RISAC) in Jinan City, Shandong Province.
Since then, the Company has decided to start with a simpler design, the
Hawk III, for use by companies, private individuals, and as special air-taxis.
The Company has changed the original plan, making the decision to create its
own production company, employing the above Chinese companies on a consultant
basis, which is now agreeable to all parties. Creating a company in China is
more difficult, initially, but it insures complete control by the Company.
The Hawk V and Hawk VIII will eventually be used in China primarily as air
taxis. The Chinese see further roles in private and government use.
China's economy is growing at a real rate of more than 10 percent per
year on a very large economic base, and the population of 1.2 billion is
showing signs of stabilizing. The transportation sector which serves an area
as large as the U.S., but with no comparable highway system, is falling behind
due to increased demand for personal travel and the movement of goods. All
forms of transport will remain heavily oversubscribed for years to come. The
air taxi service eventually will fill an important market niche serving high
government officials, wealthy Chinese, and foreign residents who cannot afford
to spend the distressingly long time it takes to travel by train or bus to
cities that are not served by airlines. The Hawk V will be able to take off
and land vertically, eliminating the need for runways. The Company believes
the Hawk will be much safer than a helicopter and will operate at a fraction
of the cost. The taxi service will be most profitable at distances up to 350
miles, but could reach 550 miles on one fueling.

<PAGE>
Over the past twelve months, the Company has traveled twice to China to
negotiate with SECC, and to begin the registration process of its planned
Chinese subsidiary. The Company is represented by a Chinese associate, Albury
Overseas Corporation, which has office and factory space reserved for the
Company.
United States Public Use-Market
The Company has begun to respond to demands from the public-use market
for its gyroplanes. The public-use market includes all civil government use
of aircraft, primarily law enforcement. Under pubic-use law, government
entities may fly aircraft that have not been certified by the FAA, because
these entities do not fall under the jurisdiction of the FAA. Although the
Company is building its aircraft to FAA specifications (FAR Part 27), and will
in the future achieve an FAA type certificate, it has an opportunity to enter
the commercial market early through public-use.
In recent months, the Company has received over four hundred direct
inquiries from Sheriff and Police Departments from numerous states. The
company is now mailing out a law enforcement brochure to explain the
advantages of the Hawk and to give a tentative production schedule.
Manufacturing
In 1996, the Company continued to refine its manufacturing plan. The
plan provides guidelines and procedures for all materials management, floor
plan, FAA quality control, and assembly. Having completed the manufacturing
plan, the Company is prepared to utilize capital to produce gyroplanes in
commercial quantities. The Company still plans to build a full manufacturing
facility in the city of Tooele, but as an interim expansion, the Company plans
to lease and move to a new facility with five times the floor space of its
present facility. The Company will have the ability to begin producing
gyroplanes at this new, interim facility.
Portugal
After an initial approach by the Portuguese government in 1994, the
Company has continued negotiations for government grants and loans to build a
new manufacturing facility in Portugal. A Portuguese manufacturing plant
would mainly serve the European market. To qualify for the grants and loans,
and to meet the application requirements, the Company has formed a Portuguese
subsidiary company called Groen Brothers Aviation Portuguesa Aeronaves.
The Company traveled to Portugal once in the last six months for
discussions. The Company had filed all documents, including business plan,
marketing plan, and financial records required by the Portuguese government
prior to signing a contract for grants and loans. Because of a lapse in time,
caused by the election of a new national government, the Company has had to
write an addendum to its original application, which expected to be completed
and filed by the end of December. The Company then expects to finalize a
contract with the Portuguese government during the first quarter the 1997
calender year.

South Africa
The Company's Memorandum of Understanding with Simera Aviation, a South
African aircraft manufacturer, is no longer in effect. Simera has merged with
its sister company Atlas Aviation, is now under new management, and is now
called Denel Aviation. The Company is in communication with Denel, and the
Company is still in hopes of using South Africa as a significant supplier.
Item 2. Properties
The Company leases its present facility, occupying approximately 5,500
square feet, within which it is constructing its prototype gyroplanes. This
development facility is located at 1784 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT
84104.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is a plaintiff in litigation in Germany. Pursuant to a loan
agreement with a German citizen and two European banks, the Company delivered
four million shares of common stock as collateral, in July of 1993. A loan
was never received on the collateral and in December of 1993 the Company filed
criminal charges and retained a law firm in Germany to commence civil
litigation there. The Company has obtained injunctions preventing the
transfer and/or sale of the collateral. The four million shares are shown as
issued, but they remain the property of the Company. The Company won its
civil suit in May of 1996, obtaining a judgement against the defendants. The
case is now on appeal. The criminal trial is nearing completion.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Two matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the four
quarters of the fiscal year covered by this report, and both matters were
sustained.
1. The security holders authorized the Board of Directors to
effectuate up to a 1 for 10 reverse split in the Company's common
stock within the next year. If within the next year the board
determines that a reverse split will improve the marketability of
the Company's Common Stock, the exact amount of the reverse, if
any, will be set by the Board at the time of the reverse.
2. The security holders authorized amending of the Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares
from 50 million to 100 million shares and create four classes of
preferred stock. The rights, privileges, terms and conditions of
the Preferred Shares shall be set by the Board of Directors when
appropriate.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Revenue
Based on current factors, the Company anticipates that it will earn
initial revenue from the sales of gyroplane in 1997.
During 1996, total revenue increased by 206 percent compared to 1995
because there was an increase in interest income. Although the percentage
increase is large, the base for comparison was small. Revenue in 1996
consisted of interest income.
During 1995, total revenue decreased by more than 600 percent compared
8
<PAGE>
to 1994 because there was less interest income. Capital balances in 1995 were
smaller than in 1994. Although the percentage decrease was large, the base
for comparison was small. Revenue in 1995 consisted of interest income and
the sale of Hawk gyroplane information packets.
Research and Development Costs
During 1996, development costs increased 220 percent from the 1995
level. The increase was large, reflecting a new, high level of activity
within the Company to finish the Hawk III development phase and to transition
into FAA certification and production.
During 1995, development costs increased 2.2 percent over 1994. This
was due primarily to increased flight testing on the Hawk I, and increased
work on the H2X.
General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative costs in 1996 increased by 2 percent compared
to 1995. The increase was not significant, indicating that the administrative
structure was adequate for supporting the large increase in R & D personnel.
General and administrative costs in 1995 increased by 83 percent
compared to 1994. Material expenditures increased during the year as did
labor costs.
Net Earnings
During 1996 and 1995 the Company continued to record losses as it
conducted flight tests, built new models, and continued to move toward full
marketing and manufacturing of the Hawk gyroplane.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company estimates that at a minimum, capital resources and liquidity
requirements will continue at approximately the same levels over the next
year. However, the company will probably expand its budget substantially as
it moves closer to production. The schedule of this expansion will depend
upon the Company's ability to attract capital.
The capital necessary to move the Company into full scale manufacturing
within two years is approximately $20 million. The Company is presently
pursuing a combination of grants and loans from the Portuguese government
totaling $20 million. In addition, the Company is pursuing an equity
investment of up to $20 million from an investment banking source.
Over the next six months the Company plans to fund its operations with
up to $1 million equity investment from accredited investors. The Company
anticipates that by June 1997, sales of gyroplanes will provide an additional
source of capital in the form of cash from down payments. After it begins
demonstration flights of the H2X, in early 1997, the Company will begin to
take orders, requiring a down payment of ten percent of the aircraft retail
price. It is common practice in the aircraft industry to take down payments
to establish delivery positions on new aircraft which may not be delivered for
two years or more. The Company continues to receive widespread interest, both
foreign and domestic, in its products.

Management does not anticipate that revenues or expenses will be
materially affected by inflation over the next twelve months.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Groen
Brothers Aviation, Inc. and subsidiary, (the Company), a development stage
company, as of June 30, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholder's (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended June 30, 1996 and cumulative amounts since July
1, 1993 (date of commencement of development stage). These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. and subsidiary, as of June 30, 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended June 30, 1996, and cumulative amounts since July 1,
1993 (date of commencement of development stage), in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring losses and has a net capital deficiency that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 9.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1996
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The financial statements include those of Groen Brothers
Aviation, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary Sego Tool, Inc.
(Company).
The primary business purpose of the Company is the
manufacturing and marketing of the "gyroplane."
Development Stage Company
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company is considered a development
stage Company as defined in SFAS No.7. The Company has, at the
present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be
paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the
Company and other relevant factors.
Machinery and Equipment
Machinery and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed under the accelerated method
based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The
useful life of machinery, equipment and furniture is seven years.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and
any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period.
The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred;
significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes based on the
provisions of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." The asset and
liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liability
and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other
assets and liabilities.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and labilities and disclosure of contingent assets and labilities 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.
Concentration of Credit
The Company is in the business of developing and manufacturing
the gyroplane. Substantially all operations relate to the business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue is recognized when earned.
(2) Note Receivable
The Company has a short-term, unsecured note receivable from
owners with principal and accumulated interest at 10% due on January

agency. The royalties will be 3% of the monthly revenues until a
total of $150,000 has been paid. No royalties have been earned or
paid as of June 30, 1996.
Also, as conditions to obtain financing from a government
sponsored organization, the Company has agreed to assume a royalty
agreement of a company related by common ownership, previously
licensed with the autogyro technology. The terms of the agreement
state that the Company must, in effect, pay monthly royalties of 3%
of its gross revenues up to a total of $149,100.

(8) Commitments-Continued
The Company leases its office and production space on a
month-to-month basis for $1,650 per month. The total lease payments
for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $19,602 and $18,315,
respectively.
Effective September 1, 1990, the Company entered into employment
agreements with several officers of the Company. The employment
agreements can be terminated at any time. Upon termination, the
Company retains all rights to the gyroplane and the relating
technology and the officers have a covenant not to compete for a
period of three years. Royalty payments of 1% of the gross sales
price of the gyroplane are to be paid to the majority shareholders.
During the year ended June 30, 1993, the Company entered into
noncancellable operating leases of office equipment. The total amount
paid for the years ending June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $3,554 and
$3,554, respectively. Future minimum lease payments total $70 for the
year ended June 30, 1997.
(9) Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. Because of
significant operating losses, the excess of current liabilities over
current assets, and a stockholders' deficit, the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on attaining future
profitable operations, restructuring its financing arrangements, and
obtaining additional outside financing and/or capital. Management of
the Company is currently following a plan to obtain additional working
capital through a capital infusion and/or governmental and corporate
borrowing. As part of the plan, the Company has been given a fifteen
acre parcel of real estate by a governmental unit in which to
construct a manufacturing facility. It is not possible to predict the
outcome of future operations or whether the necessary alternative
financing or additional capital may be arranged. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
(10) Unasserted Claim
In 1990, the Company was informed that an action may be brought
against the Company as a result of the termination of the agreement to
develop and manufacture the gyroplane. Management is unable to
determine the financial impact, if any, of the proposed action against
the Company and no amounts have been reflected in the financial
statements. As of the date of the financial statements, no claim has
been made.

(11) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes under SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the liability approach
to account for the effects of income taxes.
The (provision) benefit for income taxes differs from the amount
computed at the federal statutory rate as follows:
1996 1995
---- ----
Income tax benefit at federal statutory
rates $355,000 242,000
Valuation allowance (355,000) (242,000)
-------- --------
Total current income taxes $ - -
======== ========
At June 30, 1996, the Company had incurred net operating losses
totaling approximately $4,106,000. These losses will be carried
forward to offset taxable income in future periods. This operating
loss carryforward begins to expire in 2006. The consolidated taxable
loss of GBA includes the operations of GBA for the six years ended
June 30, 1996, and the operations of Sego Tool, Inc., for the period
from September 18, 1990, to June 30, 1996. The deferred tax asset at
June 30, 1996 is as follows:
Tax benefit of net operating loss carryforward $ 1,395,400
Valuation allowance (1,395,400)
-----------
Net tax benefit $ -
===========
Due to uncertainties surrounding the utilization of the net
operating loss carryforwards, a valuation allowance has been
established to offset a deferred income tax benefit of such net
operating loss carryforwards.
(12) Stock Options
Options
The Company's has outstanding stock options to certain directors
and employees of the Company and to another individuals. These
options are exercisable for 36 to 60 months from issue date. The
total amount of shares under option is 6,302,933 with 1,000,000 shares
at a price of $.25 per share which expires March 1999; 300,000 shares

During the year ended June 30, 1996, 12,174 option shares were
exercised at $.125 per share.
On April 19, 1994, options for 2,000,000 shares given at $0.25
to a private company were rescinded.
(13) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
None of the Company's financial instruments are held for trading
purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial
instruments at June 30, 1996, does not differ materially from the
aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the
accompanying balance sheet. The estimated fair value amounts have been
determined by the company using available market information and
appropriate valuating methodologies. Considerable judgement is
necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates
of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily
indicative of the amount that the Company could realize in a current
market exchange.
