ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

     (c)  EXHIBITS.

     3.1  Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
     3.2  Certificate of Designations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

ITEM 9.   SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S.

     As of March 6, 1997, AVIC Group International, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company") issued 150 shares (the "Series D Preferred Shares") of the
Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
("Series D Preferred Stock"), in consideration of an aggregate purchase price of
$1,500,000, or at a per share purchase price of $10,000.

     The 150 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were issued to a single investor
pursuant to exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company did not pay any brokerage fees
or commissions in connection with the transaction.

     The Series D Preferred Shares will be convertible, at the option of the
holder thereof, into the number of shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") which may be purchased at the lowest
trading price of the Common Stock during the thirty (30) business days
immediately preceding each conversion date (the "Conversion Date") for the
Series D Preferred Shares ("Average Stock Price").

     Under certain circumstances, the holder of the Series D Preferred Shares
may be obligated to purchase additional shares ("Additional Shares") of Common
Stock for cash.

     In the event that the Company issues or sells any shares of its Common
Stock or any of its securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for
its Common Stock (other than shares or options issued or which may be issued
pursuant to the Company's stock option plans or otherwise currently issued and
outstanding) at an effective purchase price per share of Common Stock which is
less than $5.00, then at the time the Series D Preferred Stock is submitted for
conversion, upon such conversion, the Company shall issue to the holder such
number of shares of Common Stock as will cause the effective market price on the
Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock to be equal to the lesser of (i)
the Average Stock Price, and (ii) the effective issuance price at which such
equity securities are issued.


                                        2



     If the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
available to satisfy the Company's obligations to a holder of Series D Preferred
Shares upon receipt of a conversion notice, or otherwise fails or refuses to
perfect conversion of any Series D Preferred Stock, with respect to the Series D
Preferred Stock, as to which conversion is not perfected by the Company through
the delivery of certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion (including Additional Shares, if any) (a "Conversion
Default") the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to put
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the Company at a price which shall be
equal to 125% of the purchase price, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

     Holders of Series D Preferred Shares may not convert any of the Series D
Preferred Shares within the first 60 calendar days following March 6, 1997, the
date of issuance (the "Closing Date") of the Series D Preferred Shares.
Thereafter, holders of Series D Preferred Stock may convert the Series D
Preferred Shares after the Closing Date in an aggregate number, as follows: (i)
30 shares after 61 days, (ii) 60 shares after 91 days, (iii) 90 shares after 121
days, (iv) 120 shares after 151 days, and (v) 150 shares after 181 days.

     The holders of the Series D Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive
cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 8% PER ANNUM per share, payable
quarterly (i) in shares of Common Stock at the time of conversion, or (ii) in
cash in connection with any payment pursuant to a Conversion Default.

     The number of shares of Common Stock which may be issuable upon conversion
of the Series D Preferred Stock may be adjustable upon certain events, including
recapitalizations, reclassifications, splits, reorganizations, dividends or
distributions with respect to the Company's Common Stock.

     The Series D Preferred Shares will have certain preferential rights over
the holders of Common Stock in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company or of a disposition of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets.

     The Series D Preferred Shares will have no voting rights, except with
respect to certain matters which affect the rights of the Series D Preferred
Shares.

     The purchaser of the Series D Preferred Shares will have certain
registration rights in the event that the purchaser's ability to resell the
underlying shares of Common Stock without registration is called into question
by applicable law.

     Further, the purchaser will have certain rights to participate in exempt
equity offerings by the Company in the two (2) year period following the Closing
Date.
