The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 6 eResource Capital Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation These financial statements include the operations of eResource Capital Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). In October 2000, flightserv.com changed its name to eResource Capital Group, Inc. ("eRCG") to reflect its new business direction. eRCG is engaged in the operation of an Internet-based, private aviation travel services business, a leisure charter travel service business, a telecommunications call center business, and certain limited commercial real estate activities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal period presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2000 and of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial data at June 30, 2000 is derived from audited financial statements which are included in the Company's Form 10-KSB and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company classifies as cash equivalents any investments which can be readily converted to cash and have an original maturity of less than three months. At times cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash equivalents in major financial institutions. Real Estate Investments Real estate investments are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Development costs and real estate taxes are capitalized while development is in progress. Depreciation commences at the time the Company begins collecting rental income. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for improvements which extend the useful life or add value to the asset are capitalized. Sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the related cost and accumulated depreciation amounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in income. Net Loss Per Share The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which requires dual presentations of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Options and warrants to purchase 25,545,120 and 8,635,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Such options and warrants could potentially dilute EPS in the future but have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share in the reported periods as the impact would have been antidilutive. 6 7 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method as provided under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Accordingly, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2000 the Company had approximately $27,000,000 of net operating loss carry forwards (NOL's) for federal income tax purposes, which expire between 2019 and 2020. A deferred income tax asset valuation allowance has been established against all deferred income tax assets as management is not certain that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. In addition, due to substantial limitations placed on the utilization of new operating losses following a change in control, utilization of such NOL's could be limited. The Company's 1996 and one of its subsidiary's 1994 and 1995 tax returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service, but no reports have yet been issued. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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. NOTE 2. BUSINESS SEGMENTS Aviation Travel Services In fiscal 1999 and 2000 the Company developed its Private Seats(TM) program to provide, as agent, Internet access to private jet flight and related travel services. The Company commenced charter flight reservations in March 2000 and charter flights booked by the Company began operating on April 17, 2000. Due to limited capital availability, the Company did not actively pursue development of the Private Seats(TM) program in recent months and, as a result, did not realize any revenue from this business in the quarter ended September 30, 2000. On August 25, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Internet Aviation Services, Ltd. ("IASL") in accordance with a definitive purchase agreement dated August 11, 2000, which provided for the exchange of 1,750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for all of IASL's common stock. On August 11, 2000, the 1,750,000 shares of common stock issued for IASL had a market value of $984,375. Including direct acquisition costs, the aggregate purchase price for IASL was $1,176,905. The excess value of the purchase price over the fair value of IASL's net assets on the acquisition date aggregating $1,126,905 has been allocated to goodwill which will be amortized over five years. IASL is a new, leisure and business travel services company, which offers charter services. IASL has an agreement with a tour operator to provide air charter services between Charlotte, North Carolina and Cancun, Mexico for a 12-month period commencing December 21, 2000. IASL has an agreement with Southeast Airlines to operate the aircraft. Also, IASL has entered into a contract with Southeast Airlines to charter two additional DC-9-30 jet aircraft with charter service which commenced in October 2000 for the first aircraft and will commence in January, 2001 for the second. Additionally, IASL has signed a contract with Casino Express Airline to charter a 122 seat B-737-200 jet aircraft to provide air lift for casinos in Tunica, Mississippi and additional Cancun service for a major tour operator. Telecommunications Call Center On September 7, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of DM Marketing, Inc. ("DMM") in accordance with a definitive purchase agreement dated August 16, 2000 which provided for the exchange of 8,450,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for all of the common stock of DMM. On August 16, 2000, the 8,450,000 shares of common stock issued for DMM had a market value of $5,281,250. Including direct acquisition costs, the aggregate purchase price for DMM was $6,210,897. The excess value of the 7 8 purchase price over the fair value of DMM's net assets on the acquisition date aggregating $5,722,267 has been allocated to goodwill which will be amortized over five years. DMM operates a telecommunications call center providing telemarketing, help desk and other services for Internet related companies. DMM's call center operations may be used to provide back office support for eRCG's aviation travel services business. Commercial Real Estate Investments The Company owns two shopping center properties in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The mortgage financing on the shopping center properties includes additional interest agreements which provides that the lender receive 50% of the net cash flows on a quarterly basis and 50% of the excess of appraised value over the mortgage loan balance at the time of any sale of the property or maturity of the mortgage. The Company has recorded deferred debt discount and accrued interest payable to reflect the lenders allocations of excess cash flows and of the excess appraisal value over the loans. The deferred debt discount was fully amortized at September 30, 2000. In September 2000, the Company extended the balloon principal payments of these mortgage loans from October 2000 to October 2001. Stratos Inns Concept The Company owns PDK Properties, Inc. ("PDK") which holds a long-term ground lease at Dekalb-Peachtree Airport in Dekalb County, Georgia and owns Stratos Inns, a hotel and hospitality business concept. The lease provides for a 54 month development period and a 30 year lease term after a hotel is constructed and opened. The Company has completed a preliminary study for development of its first Stratos Inns hotel and is evaluating its options in connection with PDK. At September 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the Company's investment in predevelopment costs of PDK was $1,164,000. Information related to business segments is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK In August 2000, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of warrants with an exercise price of $0.50. Also in August 2000, the Company acquired IASL for 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock. Further, in August 2000, the Company sold 7,070,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.375 per share in a private placement transaction. After fees and expenses, the Company realized $2,409,000 from the private placement. In September 2000, the Company issued 8,450,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the DMM acquisition. NOTE 5. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS The Company has issued nonqualified stock options to purchase its Common Stock to certain officers and consultants. The following table summarizes the outstanding options and related exercise prices:
September 30, 2000 June 30, 2000 -------------------------- ------------------------ Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price ------ -------- ------ -------- 2,000,000 $ 0.04 -- $ -- 3,000,000 0.25 -- -- 400,000 0.44 1,800,000 0.44 --------- --------- 5,400,000 1,800,000 --------- ---------
All of the above options have a 10 year term and are exercisable. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's Chairman agreed to cancel his outstanding options to purchase 700,000 shares and the Company's former Chief Executive Officer agreed to cancel his outstanding options to purchase 700,000 shares. The options set forth above do not include approximately 5 million options to certain employees that were previously granted subject to shareholder approval which has not been obtained. 9 10 In connection with its aviation travel services business, the Company issued in fiscal 1999 and 2000 warrants to purchase its Common Stock in exchange for consulting and legal services and for strategic vendor alliances provided by outside third parties and in connection with the private placement of Common Stock.

The above warrants with an exercise price of $9.77 per share contain a variable pricing clause that permits the price to be reduced at the time of exercise based on the market price of the stock. All of the above warrants are exercisable, except for 25,000 with an exercise price of $0.50 that vest over one year and 5,556,377 with an exercise price of $0.04 that vest in stages over periods ranging from 6 to 30 months. The foregoing issuances of stock options and warrants were effected in reliance on the registration exemption provided for by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as sales by an issuer not involving a public offering. In addition, the private placement of 7,070,000 shares was effected in reliance on the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Company accounts for options issued to employees under APB No. 25 and options and warrants issued to nonemployees under FASB No. 123. The total compensation cost recognized during the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 for these awards was $3,328,000 and $7,731,000, respectively. NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company executed a definitive share exchange purchase agreement on October 20, 2000 and executed the first amendment to the agreement on November 8, 2000, with closing subject to certain conditions, for the acquisition of Avenel Ventures, Inc. for 10 million shares of Common Stock. On October 20, the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock was $1.15 per share. The Company anticipates closing the Avenel acquisition on or before January 31, 2001. Avenel Ventures provides investment services to technology companies, and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avenel Alliance, Inc. provides e-commerce, business development, and advisory services. Avenel Alliance provides services to clients implementing innovative strategies in e-commerce and Internet marketing. Michael Pruitt, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Director is an officer, director, and shareholder of Avenel Ventures, Inc. and was a shareholder, director and officer of DMM at the time it was acquired by the Company. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview In the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's continuing operations included development of an Internet-based, private aviation travel services business, limited commercial real estate operations, and other investments. In addition to these businesses, the Company acquired leisure and business travel services and telecommunication call center businesses in the three months ended September 30, 2000. 10 11 Results of Continuing Operations The Company's revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $275,000 compared to $273,000 in the September 30, 1999 quarter. A decline in shopping center revenue due to higher vacancies was offset by revenue of the newly acquired call center business. The Company did not generate any revenue from its aviation travel services business during the three months ended September 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $842,000 compared to $900,000 in the comparable 1999 period. Legal and consulting expenses were lower in the current period due to completion of the development phase of the Private Seats(TM) program. These savings were partially offset by higher systems and other costs related to implementing the aviation travel services business. In the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company recognized $3,328,000 and $7,731 000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to stock options to officers and directors and warrants to outside third parties. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $285,000 compared to $142,000 for the comparable 1999 period. The increase in the current quarter is due to amortization of costs related to the Company's Web site and amortization of the goodwill related to the Company's recent business acquisitions. Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $357,000 compared to $79,000 in the comparable 1999 period. The increase is due to amortization of debt discount related to the shopping center operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The net operating loss in the three months ended September 30, 2000 of $4,537,000 was offset by a $7,309,000 increase in stockholder's equity due to the stock purchases of DMM and IASL. Also, a $1,225,000 increase in paid-in capital related to the issuance of stock options and warrants with an exercise price below market and $2,659,000 from the sale of Common Stock and exercise of warrants resulted in a net increase in stockholders' equity of $6,656,000. In the three months ended September 30, 2000, continuing operations used $971,000 of cash and discontinued operations used $132,000 of cash. Including the net cash provided from business acquisitions and stock sales, the net increase in cash was $1,922,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The Company began generating revenue from its newly acquired leisure aviation travel service operations in November 2000. Management believes revenues will increase in subsequent periods as the Company expands this business, realizes additional revenues from current travel services contracts, expands its telecommunications call center operations and acquires additional businesses. However, the Company will continue to incur operating losses as it implements its new business acquisition strategy. The Company's current monthly cash usage rate will increase as the Company implements additional marketing and advertising programs for its existing businesses and adds employees to execute its new business strategy. The Company's cash balance at September 30, 2000 is $2,448,000 compared to $526,000 at June 30, 2000. The Company's need for additional debt or equity financing during the second half of fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, depends in large part on the rate at which the revenues generated from the Company's aviation travel services business increase and the magnitude of the costs the Company incurs in connection with growing its aviation services business. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders. If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company, these failures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of its then-current stockholders would be diluted. FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition are subject to many risks, including those set forth below. The following discussion highlights some of these risks and others are discussed elsewhere herein or in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, statements in this quarterly report relating to matters that are not 11 12 historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's belief and assumptions using currently available information. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below. General eRCG's business plan is to acquire substantial interests in, operate, and enhance the value of technology companies. eRCG's strategic focus is in five technology industry segments: e-commerce, Internet infrastructure, technology professional services, enabling technology, and data/communication systems. In addition, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, eRCG plans to continue its efforts to grow its aviation travel services business. The Company has just recently begun implementing its expanded business strategy. As a result, there is only limited history upon which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects. eRCG's chances of financial and operating success should be evaluated in view of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with starting a new business and, in particular, a business using new and unproven business models. There is no assurance that eRCG will be successful in the development and goodwill of its business segments. eRCG Expects To Incur Operating Losses And There Can Be No Assurance That It Will Achieve Or Sustain Profitability In the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company generated no revenue from its aviation services business. The Company incurred operating losses in fiscal 1999 and 2000 and expects to incur operating losses in fiscal 2001 as a result of substantial marketing and promotion costs, systems costs, and other costs associated with developing its businesses. As a result of these costs and uncertain revenue growth, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. eRCG's Aviation Businesses Have No Operating History While its management has significant experience in the leisure charter travel services business, eRCG's aviation businesses have no operating history. The success of these businesses depends on eRCG's ability to both contract with charter operators to operate charter jet flights and to generate sufficient passenger revenue to cover the costs associated with operating such charter flights. eRCG intends to satisfy this demand through agreements with tour operators and direct efforts but there can be no assurance that eRCG will be able to generate sufficient passengers to operate profitably in the future. eRCG May Face Difficulties Managing its Growth eRCG expects that anticipated growth in connection with its current businesses and future acquisitions will place significant demands on its management, operation and financial resources. To manage this future growth, eRCG needs to improve its operational systems and expand, train and manage a growing employee base. eRCG will also need to maintain and expand its relationships with service providers. If eRCG is unable to manage its growth effectively, its business and financial condition will be adversely affected. Loss Of Key Management Personnel Could Adversely Affect the Business eRCG's success depends primarily on the skills of its management team. Several of its officers have joined the Company recently and many of its key personnel have worked together for a relatively short time. The loss of one or more of its key management personnel may adversely affect eRCG's business and financial condition. eRCG Faces Significant Competition Significant competition exists in the technology industry segments in which the Company operates or plans to operate. Many competitors have greater financial resources than the Company. Government Regulation of the Travel Industry or the Internet Could Impact eRCG's Operations Certain segments of the travel industry are regulated by the United States Government and certain services offered by the Company are affected by such regulation. Aircraft operators, which eRCG depends on, and the Company as an indirect charter operator, are subject 12 13 to vigorous and continuous certification requirements by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). Changes in the regulatory framework for private aviation travel could adversely affect eRCG's business, operations and financial condition. In addition, while there are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to Internet commerce, the increase in Internet commerce could result in new laws or regulations on such commerce including laws or regulations regarding privacy, pricing and state or local taxation. Any such change could adversely affect eRCG's business, operations and financial condition. eRCG Maybe Unable to Meet Its Future Capital Requirements Based on its current operating plans, eRCG may need to raise additional working capital in the second half of fiscal year 2001. eRCG currently does not have any binding commitments for additional financing and cannot be certain that additional financing will be available when and to the extent required or that, if available, it will be on acceptable terms. In addition, future financings may be affected by the market price of its Common Stock which has been volatile. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, eRCG may not be able to continue to fund its expansion or take other steps necessary to enhance its business. Volatility of Stock Price/Potential for Future Sales of Restricted Securities The market price of the Company's Common Stock is highly volatile and is likely to continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors, including the announcement by the Company of business acquisitions, partnership agreements or other corporate developments, and limited number of freely tradable shares in public hands and the timing. Additionally, in recent years many companies with Internet related businesses have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unexplained by the operating performance of such companies. The Company's stock price could also be negatively effected by the future sale of shares of restricted Common Stock, including shares of restricted Common Stock underlying options and warrants that have been issued by the Company. Approximately 34,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are believed to be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Rule 144 provides generally that restricted securities must be held for one year prior to resale and provides certain additional limitations on the volume of such shares that a beneficial owner may sell in any three month period. In addition, certain holders of restricted shares have registration rights and to the extent any shares of restricted stock are included in a registration statement filed by the Company, these shares will become freely tradable on the effective date of such registration statement. Generally, non-affiliated owners may sell restricted shares that have been held for at least two years without volume limitations. In addition, the Company has issued warrants and options which, if exercised, could result in up to an additional 22,545,120 shares of the Company's Common Stock. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
