AIR TRANSPORTATION HOLDING COM AIR TRANSPORTATION HOLDING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) A. Financial Statements The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared by Air Transportation Holding Company, Inc. (the Company) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of December 31, 1995, and for prior periods presented, have been made. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995. The results of operations for the period ended December 31 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. B. Income Taxes The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", as of the beginning of fiscal 1994. The tax effect of temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards that gave rise to the Company's deferred tax asset is broken down between current and noncurrent amounts in the accompanying December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance in order to reduce its deferred tax asset to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance, related to future utilization of net operating losses, reduced the provision for income taxes by $99,000 and $83,000, respectively, during the nine months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Of the valuation allowance of approximately $254,000, approximately $220,000 relates to potential benefits from pre-acquisition carryforwards. Benefits derived from these carryforwards, amounting to $209,000 and $237,000, respectively, during the nine months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, have been credited directly to goodwill. 6
B. Income Taxes (cont'd) The income tax provisions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 differ from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state income taxes and reductions in the valuation allowance. The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards available for tax return purposes of approximately $1,100,000. These carryforwards expire in varying amounts from 1996 to 1997. The potential utilization of certain of these carryforwards is subject to the separate return limitation rules pursuant to Treasury regulations. These carryforwards, to the extent realized, will result in a reduction of goodwill, until goodwill is reduced to zero. C. Net Earnings Per Share Primary earnings per share has been compiled by dividing net earnings by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. There was no difference between primary and fully diluted earnings per share. Shares issuable under employee stock options are considered common share equivalents and were included in the weighted average common shares as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. 7
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations The Company's revenue is generated through its air cargo subsidiaries, Mountain Air Cargo, Inc. (MAC) and CSA Air, Inc. (CSA), which are short-haul express air freight carriers flying nightly under contracts with a major express delivery company out of 60 cities, principally located in 28 states in the eastern half of the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the Virgin Islands. In 1993, the Company organized Mountain Aircraft Services, LLC (MAS) to engage in the sale of commercial aircraft parts and provide aircraft engine overhaul management and component repair services. Revenues from this operation contributed approximately $2,743,000 (10.6%) and $803,000 (3.3%), respectively, to the Company's revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Under the terms of its dry-lease service contracts (which currently cover approximately 97% of the revenue aircraft operated), the Company passes through to its customer certain cost components of its air freight operations without markup. The cost of fuel, landing fees, outside maintenance, aircraft certification and conversion, parts and certain other direct operating costs are included in operating expenses and billed to the customer, as cargo and maintenance revenue. Consolidated revenue increased $1,566,000 (6.5%) to $25,820,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995 and $640,000 (7.9%) for the three- month period ended December 31, 1995 compared to their equivalent 1994 periods. The change in revenue primarily resulted from increases in cargo revenue generated by an increase in the number of customer-owned aircraft operated and increased utilization of company-owned aircraft and other revenue related to the expansion of MAS, partially offset by decreases in cargo maintenance billing. Operating expenses increased $1,808,000 (8.1%) to $24,104,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995 and $590,000 (7.9%) for the three- month period ended December 31, 1995 compared to their equivalent 1994 periods. The increase in operating expenses for the nine-month period consisted of the following changes: cost of flight operations increased $70,000 (0.8%) primarily due to increase in pilots; maintenance expense increased $1,398,000 (13.4%), primarily as a result of increases in cost of sales related to aircraft parts sold by MAS; depreciation decreased $2,000 (0.4%); general and administrative expense increased $341,000 (13.3%) as a result of increased staffing at MAS, cost associated with the Company's future relocation of maintenance operations and increased employee benefits and salary and wage rates. 8
Results of Operations (cont'd) The $263,000 increase, for the nine-month period December 31, 1995, in non-operating income reflects a gain on disposal of Company-owned aircraft. Pretax earnings increased $21,000 and $50,000 respectively, for the nine and three-month periods ended December 31, 1995 compared to 1994. The increases were due to the gain on disposal of Company-owned aircraft and increased earnings by MAS, partially offset by increased administration cost and decreased cargo aircraft maintenance revenue. The provision for income taxes for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995 increased $95,000, and $81,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1995 compared to their respective fiscal 1995 periods. Both periods experienced increased effective tax rates due to the complete utilization of certain net operating loss carryforwards during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 (see Note B. Income Taxes). Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1995 the Company's working capital amounted to $5,492,000, an increase of $1,015,000 compared to March 31, 1995. The net increase, primarily resulted from profitable operations and disposal of aircraft, as reflected by a $831,000 increase in cash, a $1,606,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a $1,291,000 decrease in accounts receivable. In January 1995 the Company obtained an accounts receivable and inventory financing line from a new bank lender. The line, which provides credit, at the lender's prime rate, in the aggregate of up to $2,250,000, extends to July 1996. Substantially all of the Company's non-aircraft assets have been pledged as collateral under this financing and other loan arrangements. As of December 31, 1995, the Company was in a net investment position against its credit line and had $530,000 available to borrow. Management believes that funds anticipated from operations and existing credit facilities will provide adequate cash flow to meet the Company's future financial needs. The respective nine-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 resulted in the following changes in cash flow: operating activities provided $1,701,000 and $2,107,000, investing activities provided $79,000 and used $549,000 and financing activities used $950,000 and $661,000. Net cash increased $831,000 and $897,000 for the respective nine-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. 9
Liquidity and Capital Resources (cont'd) Cash provided by operating activities was $407,000 less for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the similar 1994 period. This was primarily due to reductions in accounts payable. Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 was approximately $628,000 more than the comparable period in 1994, principally due to the acquisition of two aircraft in fiscal 1995 and the disposal of two aircraft in fiscal 1996. Cash used in financing activities was $287,000 more in the 1995 nine month period due to the repurchase of common stock. During the nine months ended December 31, 1995 the Company repurchased 109,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $745,000. Pursuant to its previously announced stock repurchase program, $84,000 remains available for repurchase of common stock. There are currently no commitments for significant capital expenditures and none are anticipated during the current fiscal year. The Company paid a $.07 per share cash dividend in May 1995; no determination has been made whether additional dividends will be paid in the future. Impact of Inflation The Company believes the impact of inflation and changing prices on its revenues and earnings is not material since the major cost components of its operations, consisting principally of fuel, aircraft, crew and certain maintenance costs are passed thru to its customer under current contract terms. 10
