EXHIBIT A
During the six months ended August 31, 1996 net income is expected to be
approximately $2.5 million compared to $43.5 million during the six months
ended August 31, 1995. The primary reason for the significant change in net
income was extraordinary gains realized from the sale of the Company's
all-cargo China route in August 1995 and the sale of two DC8-73 aircraft in
March 1995, representing a total of $85.5 million in before tax income during
the 1995 reporting period.
