AIRNET SYSTEMS, INC.

   

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.               Basis of Presentation

 

AirNet Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“AirNet” or the “Company”) operate a fully integrated national air transportation network which provides delivery service for time-critical shipments for customers in the U.S. banking industry and other industries requiring the express delivery of packages.  AirNet also offers passenger charter services and retail aviation fuel sales and related ground services.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AirNet Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  These financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in AirNet Systems, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the quarterly and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

 

The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods.

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes thereto.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the presentation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004.

 

2 .                Stock Plans and Awards

 

SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure , requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

 

The Company accounts for its employee and director stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.  No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant.  Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share, as required by SFAS No. 148, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

5.               Discontinued Operations

 

On August 11, 2003, AirNet Systems, Inc. completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Mercury Business Services unit to Mercury Business Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation owned by a group that include the original owners of the Mercury business.

 

The sales price of the transaction was approximately $1.1 million.  Mercury Business Services, Inc. paid approximately $455,000 of the sales price through the issuance of a ninety day promissory note secured by the assets being sold and guaranteed by each of the shareholders of Mercury Business Services, Inc.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, approximately $536,000 of the purchase price was paid with AirNet Systems, Inc. common shares owned by the shareholders of Mercury Business Services, Inc., including 56,000 common shares tendered to AirNet Systems, Inc. prior to closing at $4.30 per share (the closing price of the AirNet Systems, Inc. common shares on the NYSE on July 25, 2003) and 68,494 common shares tendered to AirNet Systems, Inc. on the closing date at $4.31 per share (the average closing price of the AirNet Systems, Inc. common shares on the NYSE on August 4-6, 2003).  The balance of the sales price was paid in cash.

 

AirNet accounted for these operations as discontinued operations.

 

The Mercury Business Services unit had revenues for of $2,487,000 and $4,919,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

 

Pre-tax profit for AirNet’s Mercury Business Services unit was $64,000 and $28,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and for the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

 

6.               Bank Financing Matters

 

In June 2004, AirNet entered into an amended and restated term loan and revolving loan facility (collectively, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with its banks. The Amended Credit Agreement provides AirNet with a secured revolving credit facility with up to $35.0 million available and a secured term loan in the aggregate amount of $14.0 million.  The amount of revolving loans available under the Amended Credit Agreement is further limited to a borrowing base equal to the aggregate of 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 50% of eligible inventory, plus 70% of the market value of certain fixed assets, reduced by the aggregate amount of AirNet’s outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2004, $22.8 million and $13.0 million were outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility and secured term loan, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, AirNet had approximately $10.7 million available to borrow on its secured revolving loan facility.

 

The revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement expires on September 30, 2005 and the secured term loan matures on September 30, 2007.  Quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million are required for the secured term loan beginning in June 2004 and continuing through September 30, 2007. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien on all of the property of AirNet and its subsidiaries, other than any interest in real estate and certain excluded fixed assets.  The Amended Credit Agreement permits AirNet and its subsidiaries to incur other indebtedness for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing aircraft and related tangible fixed assets, subject to certain annual limitations.  AirNet has also pledged the interests in its subsidiaries, and each of AirNet’s subsidiaries has guaranteed AirNet’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement.  The Amended Credit Agreement contains limitations on operating leases, indebtedness, significant corporate changes including mergers and sales of assets, investments in subsidiaries and acquisitions, liens, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, sales of accounts receivable, sale and leaseback transactions and other off-balance sheet liabilities, contingent obligations and hedging transactions.  The Amended Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require AirNet to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and to not exceed fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios specified in the Amended Credit Agreement.  As of June 30, 2004, AirNet was in compliance with these covenants. The Amended Credit Agreement bears interest, at AirNet’s option, at (a) a fixed rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, or (b) a floating rate based on the greater of the sum of (i) the prime rate established by The Huntington National Bank from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio and (ii) the sum of 0.5% plus the federal funds rate in effect from time to time.  After the effective date of the Amended Credit Agreement, AirNet paid off its three five-year term loans totaling approximately $3.4 million incurred during first quarter 2002.

 

During the second quarter 2004, AirNet entered into four seven-year term loans totaling $22.5 million with fixed interest rates of approximately 6.7%. Each of the term loans is secured by aircraft used in the Passenger Charter fleet.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Safe Harbor Statement

 

Except for the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, the matters discussed, including, but not limited to, information regarding future economic performance and plans and objectives of AirNet’s management, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, the words “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “project” and similar expressions are intended to be among statements that identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement: potential regulatory changes by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), which could increase the regulation of AirNet’s business, or potential regulatory changes by the Federal Reserve which could change the competitive environment of transporting cancelled checks; changes in check processing and shipment patterns of bank customers; adverse weather conditions; potential declines in the values of aircraft in AirNet’s fleet and any related asset impairment charges; the ability to successfully market the passenger charter business in light of global changes in the commercial airline industry; potential changes in locally and federally mandated security requirements; increases in aviation fuel costs not fully offset by AirNet’s fuel surcharge program; potential cost overruns associated with the construction of a new facility at Rickenbacker International Airport; acts of war and terrorist activities; the acceptance of AirNet’s time-critical service offerings within targeted Express markets; technological advances and increases in the use of electronic funds transfers; as well as other economic, competitive and domestic and foreign governmental factors affecting AirNet’s markets, prices and other facets of its operations.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.  Please refer to the sections captioned “Forward-looking statements” and “Risk Factors” in Item 7 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 of AirNet Systems, Inc.

General

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. AirNet maintains a thorough process to review the application of its accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates; however, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information.

 

Management has discussed the development and selection of AirNet’s critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of AirNet Systems, Inc.’s Board of Directors and with its independent auditors.  AirNet’s critical accounting policies have not changed significantly from the policies disclosed in Item 7 of AirNet Systems, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

 

AirNet’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, included in Item 8 of AirNet Systems, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, contain additional disclosures regarding AirNet’s significant accounting policies and Item 7 of that Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a summary of AirNet’s critical accounting policies. The information appearing therein may be useful when reading this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

AirNet has experienced overall net revenue growth for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 over the same periods of the prior year.  This can be attributed to several factors including increased Express shipment volume and growth in Passenger Charter services as well as additional fuel surcharge revenues.

Bank weekday and weekend revenues held constant for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same periods of the prior year.  Increased fuel prices in the quarter of 2004  resulted in significantly higher fuel surcharge revenues compared to the same quarter of 2003.  AirNet believes that lower check delivery volume as a result of historically low interest rates,  the declining use of checks, and the Check 21 Act which becomes effective in October 2004, will contribute to a reduction in bank revenues in future periods, as will increased competitive factors from regional carriers and transportation cost reduction initiatives by AirNet’s Bank customers.  AirNet is unable to predict the ultimate impact of these factors on future periods.

Express services revenues continue to increase as a percentage of total revenues, increasing from 24% to 29% of total revenues for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same periods of the prior year.  Shipments using AirNet’s air transportation network were up 9% and 5% for the quarter and year to date, respectively. Shipments sent via commercial airlines and point to point surface shipments were up over 50% and 40% for the quarter and year to date, respectively.   Commercial air and point to point surface shipments incur higher courier costs compared to shipments using AirNet’s airline.  The increase in shipments sent via commercial

airlines is principally due to an increase in shipments outside the AirNet airline’s scheduled delivery times and locations, which generally results in lower gross margins per shipment than shipments carried on AirNet’s airline.

Passenger Charter services revenues continue to grow as a percentage of total revenues, as AirNet invests in additional aircraft to support additional passenger charter demand.  Revenues increased from 4.9% to 8.6% of total revenue for the quarter and from 4.4% to 8.8% year to date compared to the same periods of the prior year.  AirNet increased the number of passenger charter aircraft it operates from seven aircraft (two Learjet 60’s and five Learjet 35’s) at June 30, 2003 to fourteen (nine Learjet 60’s and five Learjet 35’s) at June 30, 2004.
