KITTY HAWK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2005, are unaudited (except for the December 31, 2005 condensed consolidated balance sheet, which was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet included in the aforementioned Form 10-K), but have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
     The preparation of the 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 the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments and incorporates any changes in such estimates and judgments into the accounting records underlying the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     General Motors and Delphi Automotive were sued in Wayne County, Michigan by a number of air charter carriers in connection with air transportation services the Company arranged with them on behalf of General Motors and Delphi Automotive and for which the air charter carriers were not paid as a result of the Company’s bankruptcy. The air charter carriers are seeking to recover approximately $4.6 million from General Motors and Delphi Automotive. General Motors has named the Company as a third party defendant in the litigation and is seeking indemnification of up to $4.6 million against the Company. The parties agreed that the indemnification claim would be heard in the bankruptcy court in Fort Worth, Texas and that the Company would be dismissed from the litigation in Wayne County, Michigan. On November 3, 2004, the bankruptcy court granted the Company’s motion that General Motors’ claim for indemnification be denied in its entirety. General Motors appealed the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of its claim to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. On August 25, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, denied General Motors’ appeal. General Motors then filed a motion to reconsider with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, which was also denied. On January 31, 2006, General Motors filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, appealing the denial of its motion to reconsider. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of the appeal at this time, management believes this claim should have been discharged when the Company’s plan of reorganization was confirmed by the bankruptcy court. The Company will vigorously defend against General Motors’ appeal. No amounts have been accrued for this contingency.
     In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings and other claims. While the outcome of these proceedings and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe these matters will have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
     In September 2003, the Company’s stockholders approved the Kitty Hawk 2003 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan. The Plan, as amended in May 2006, provides for the issuance of up to 8,500,000 shares of

common stock either through grants of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or other awards. The options granted generally have an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the stock on the date of grant. The options and restricted stock units granted generally vest over periods of 12 to 48 months. The options expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier forfeiture provisions. The restricted stock units granted to the Company’s management are not convertible to common stock until the individual leaves the Company or there is a change of control as defined in the Plan. The restricted stock units granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not convertible to common stock until the earlier of the director’s termination of service, a change of control as defined in the Plan or four years from the date of grant.
     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock options and RSUs granted under the Plan under the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations and adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”
     Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), or SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation cost at fair value for all share-based payments, including stock options and RSUs. The Company used the modified prospective transition method which does not require restatement of previously issued financial statements. Under the modified prospective method, the Company will recognize the cost of new awards, awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after January 1, 2006, and the portion of awards for which the requisite service period has not been rendered (unvested awards) that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006.
     Stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 includes compensation expense as follows:
                 
    Three Months     Six Months  
    Ended     Ended  
    June 30, 2006     June 30, 2006  
    (in thousands)

General and administrative expense
    110       215  
 
           
Total compensation expense
  $ 195     $ 388  
 
           
     The fair value of options granted in 2006 was estimated using the lattice option pricing model using the assumptions in the table below. The risk free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury Strip rate posted at the date of grant having a term equal to the expected life of the options. An increase in the risk free interest rate will increase compensation expense. Expected life is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. Generally, the options have a maximum term of ten years. The Company examines actual stock options exercised to estimate the expected life of the options and expected forfeiture rate. An increase in the expected term will increase compensation expense. Volatility is based on changes in the market value of the Company’s stock. An increase in expected volatility will increase compensation expense. Dividend yield is the annual rate of dividend per share over the exercise price of the option. The Company does not intend to pay dividends, and historically has not paid dividends, on its common stock and is restricted from paying dividends on its common stock as a term of its revolving credit facility.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING
     As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s operations were comprised of two segments — a scheduled freight network and a cargo airline. Each segment’s respective financial performance is detailed below. Each segment is currently evaluated on financial performance at the operating income line.
     The column labeled “other” consists of corporate activities. Business assets are owned by or allocated to each of the business segments. Assets included in the column labeled “other” include cash, allowance for doubtful accounts and the leasehold estate related to the building occupied by the corporate offices. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those reported in Note 2 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     The change in segment assets from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006 was attributable to an increase in accounts receivable from external customers resulting from increased revenues, and the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of Air Container Transport, Inc., or ACT, a California corporation, in the scheduled freight network, the effects of depreciation and amortization of the assets of the cargo airline and an increase in the intercompany receivable balances from the other segments in the corporate segment due primarily to funding their operations.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
     In March 2003, the Company issued common shares and warrants to purchase 9,814,886 shares of common stock to its former creditors in accordance with its plan of reorganization under its May 2000 Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. These warrants are treated as outstanding shares of common stock for purposes of calculating earnings or loss per share because the $0.000001 per share exercise price of the warrants is nominal. As of June 30, 2006, warrants to purchase 1,076,605 shares of common stock remain outstanding. These warrants expire in 2013.

7. ASSET ACQUISITION
     On June 22, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kitty Hawk Ground, Inc., or Kitty Hawk Ground, acquired substantially all of the operating assets of privately held ACT, including: owned and leased trucks and trailers; owner operator agreements; leased facilities; trademarks and intellectual property; and customer and employee lists. At closing, Kitty Hawk Ground also assumed contracts relating to ACT’s leased trucks and trailers, leased operating facilities, other equipment leases and contracts with owner operators. Kitty Hawk Ground did not assume any pre-closing liabilities of ACT, except for limited liabilities expressly set forth in the asset purchase agreement.
     ACT’s transportation assets will be operated by Kitty Hawk Ground doing business as Air Container Transport. ACT operated an airport-to-airport expedited ground freight network primarily in California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Colorado, Utah, Illinois and Texas. The Company acquired these assets in order to further expand its recently launched expedited ground service and expand its operations on the West coast.
     The purchase price was $5.0 million, funded in a combination of $2.75 million of cash paid at closing, issuing 1,773,818 shares of unregistered Kitty Hawk common stock based on a 10-day volume weighted average price and deferred payments of $0.25 million and $0.5 million with interest, for six and twelve months after closing, respectively. These deferred payments are secured by letters of credit. In addition, Kitty Hawk Ground reimbursed ACT for its normal operating expenses from May 30, 2006 through the closing date and acquired the cash, accounts receivable and prepaid items generated from the operation of the acquired business in the ordinary course during the same period. The accompanying financial statements include the results of operating the ACT assets from June 22, 2006 to June 30, 2006.
     The Company has not completed its final purchase price allocation. The preliminary value of the acquired assets and identified intangibles from the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT, as presented below, are based upon management’s estimates and third party appraisals of fair value as of the date of the acquisition. However, the values assigned to goodwill and the intangibles have not been finalized. The final purchase price allocation will be completed within one year of the transaction and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The preliminary purchase price allocation of $5.2 million, including transaction costs, was allocated as follows:

     Approximately $3.2 million of the purchase price was allocated to the acquired intangible assets, including customer lists of $1.7 million (ten year life), non-compete agreements of $1.1 million (three year life), the ACT trade name of $0.2 million (three year life) and $0.2 million of goodwill. Approximately $1.9 million was allocated to the tangible assets including trucks and trailers of $1.8 million and $0.1 million of freight handling equipment and

     The Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of its common stock issued to ACT at closing within sixty days of the closing date. There is no material relationship, except in respect of this transaction, between ACT and the Company or any of its affiliates, or any director or executive officer of Kitty Hawk, or any associate of any such director or executive officer. The shareholders of ACT continue to own and operate businesses that now utilize the Company’s services.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     The Company has various agreements and relationships with beneficial owners of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” of the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for information on these agreements and relationships.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
     On July 19, 2006, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with PNC Bank, N.A., or PNC. The Credit Agreement provides for a $20.0 million revolving credit and letter of credit facility, or the Credit Facility, due as a balloon payment in 2009. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
     The Credit Facility replaces a $15.0 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc., or Wells Fargo. Proceeds from the Credit Facility were used to repay existing indebtedness to Wells Fargo and to pay approximately $0.2 million in fees and expenses related to the Credit Facility transaction. Availability under the Credit Facility will be used primarily for working capital needs.
     Availability under the Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of $20.0 million or 85% of eligible receivables. PNC may reject any receivable deemed ineligible in the exercise of its judgment. Additionally, the Credit Facility provides for letters of credit of up to $5.0 million. Letter of credit fees are computed at an annual rate of 2.5% of the average daily face amount of each outstanding letter of credit. At August 11, 2006, the Company had a borrowing base of $11.9 million, excluding $5.8 million of accounts receivable generated from operating the assets acquired from ACT, outstanding borrowings of $5.8 million and outstanding letters of credit of $2.6 million.
     Interest on outstanding advances under the Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) the base commercial lending rate of PNC and (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 50 basis points. The Credit Facility also allows the Company to borrow money based on a Eurodollar rate. Interest on Eurodollar rate advances is payable in arrears at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%.
     The Credit Facility provides for a facility fee of .375% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. This fee is payable monthly in arrears. Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay a termination fee of $200,000 if it terminates the Credit Agreement prior to July 19, 2007 and a termination fee of $100,000 if it terminates the Credit Agreement at any time after July 19, 2007 and before the final maturity date of July 19, 2009.
     The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: engage in mergers, consolidations, or other

14


Table of Contents

reorganizations; create or permit liens on assets; incur certain indebtedness, capitalized lease obligations, or guarantee obligations; pay dividends or other distributions (other than dividends on the Company’s Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock); change the nature of the Company’s business; make certain investments or capital expenditures; make certain loans or extensions of credit; change its fiscal year; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; or form new subsidiaries.
     The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain tangible net worth at December 31, 2006 equal to the sum of (i) tangible net worth reported on the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, plus (ii) the product of the net income of the Company for the period from July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 multiplied by 0.75 less (iii) any cash dividends permitted by the Credit Agreement. For fiscal years thereafter, the Company must maintain tangible net worth at the end of the fiscal year of not less than the sum of (i) tangible net worth as of the last day of the prior fiscal year plus (ii) the product of the net income of the Company for the fiscal year multiplied by 0.75 less (iii) any cash dividends permitted by the Credit Agreement.
     The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, measured at the end of the quarter ending (i) September 30, 2006 for the quarter then ended, (ii) December 31, 2006 for the two quarters then ended, (iii) March 31, 2007 for the three quarters then ended and (iv) thereafter for the four quarters then ended. The calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio will exclude aircraft maintenance capital expenditures unless undrawn availability under the Credit Facility is less than $5.0 million for thirty consecutive days.
     The Credit Facility also contains default clauses that permit the acceleration of all amounts due following an event of default at the discretion of the lenders, and lock box provisions that apply the Company’s cash collections to outstanding borrowings. Upon and after the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations bear interest at 2% over the applicable rate. Based on the terms of the Credit Facility and pursuant to EITF Issue No. 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations Involving Lock-Box Arrangements,” the Company classifies amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, if any, as current.

Executive Overview
     Kitty Hawk is a holding company providing corporate, planning and administrative services. We operate through our three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kitty Hawk Cargo, Kitty Hawk Ground and Kitty Hawk Aircargo. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we generated 98.6% of our revenue from our scheduled freight network, 1.1% of our revenue from our cargo airline and 0.3% of our revenue from non-network ground operations.
     Scheduled Freight Network. We operate an independent airport-to-airport scheduled freight network that provides expedited air and ground freight services of predominantly heavy weight and oversized freight. We provide our expedited freight services between selected cities in North America, including the continental U.S, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and Puerto Rico. Most of the expedited air freight in our network is transported from its city of origination to our hub and sorting facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana before being routed by aircraft or truck to its destination city. Our scheduled expedited ground freight is routed directly to its destination city or through regional hubs located in Los Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Newark, New Jersey and Fort Wayne, Indiana. As of August 11, 2006, our scheduled freight network offered expedited air freight services to 54 business centers and expedited ground freight services to 61 business centers. We have business alliances that allow us to provide freight services to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico. We also seek business alliances to expand our scheduled freight network beyond our current service areas.
     Our scheduled freight network provides marketing, sales, scheduling and hub operations coordination for our air and ground freight services, serving domestic and international freight forwarders, integrated freight companies, passenger and all-cargo airlines, logistic companies and other delivery companies.
     Our scheduled freight network business relies on customers who need expedited delivery on an as-needed basis for air or ground delivery. As the freight is shipped on an as-needed basis, we do not have long-term commitments from our customers. Without customer commitments, the overall demand for our freight services is primarily influenced by the health of the U.S. economy, which is cyclical in nature, the seasonality and economic health of the industries generating the freight we transport in our network and the availability, reliability and cost of alternative freight services. The amount of freight shipped in our scheduled freight network during any particular time period can fluctuate significantly due to the foregoing factors.
     A significant portion of the freight transported in our network relates to the automotive, electronics, telecom and related infrastructure equipment, other durable goods and equipment industries and apparel. The demand for the products produced by these industries and, in turn, the demand for our scheduled freight network services for the transportation of freight from these industries has historically trended in relationship to the strength of the U.S. and increasingly, world economies. Furthermore, these industries tend to be seasonal in nature and, as a result, our business is also seasonal with the third and fourth quarters historically having the strongest demand and being the highest revenue quarters.
     In addition, the demand for our expedited air and ground freight services is impacted by the availability, reliability and cost of other freight transportation alternatives including services provided by passenger airlines, integrated freight carriers and trucking networks. In general, our competitors are impacted by the same economic cyclicality and seasonality trends as we experience in our scheduled freight network. As a result, we believe we experience similar demand and supply relationships as our competitors. To the extent our customers can secure

acceptable freight services at a lower cost than the freight services provided by our scheduled freight network, the demand for our scheduled freight network can be materially adversely affected.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, a majority of our net loss was attributed to the continued investment in and expansion of our expedited ground freight service, including the June 2006 acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of Air Container Transport, Inc., or ACT, under an asset purchase agreement.
     Ground Transportation. With the acquisition of the ACT assets, we expanded our ground transportation services. These assets, along with contracted dedicated trucks, including owner operators, are managed by Kitty Hawk Ground and provide dedicated ground transportation services for Kitty Hawk Cargo’s scheduled freight network. Kitty Hawk Ground also generates revenue from external customers, including providing full-truckload, contracted service and local pick up and delivery service. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, this external revenue was 0.3% of our total revenue. As of August 11, 2006, Kitty Hawk Ground managed 81 owned trucks, 48 contracted trucks and 69 owner operators.
     Cargo Airline. Kitty Hawk Aircargo, our all-cargo airline, provides dedicated air transportation services for Kitty Hawk Cargo’s scheduled freight network. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, Kitty Hawk Aircargo flew 97.2% of its block hours in Kitty Hawk Cargo’s scheduled freight network. As of August 11, 2006, Kitty Hawk Aircargo operated seven Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft under operating leases, six owned Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft and five Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft available under an aircraft and engine use agreement. Kitty Hawk Aircargo also generates revenue from external customers through ACMI and ad-hoc charter arrangements. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately 1.1% of our revenue was from ACMI arrangements.
     Fuel Costs. One of our most significant and variable costs is fuel. Our scheduled freight network bears all aircraft and diesel fuel costs for aircraft and trucks operated in the network. Fuel for ground transportation is either paid as part of the cost for purchased transportation, including owner operators, and included in transportation expense or at the point of sale for owned trucks and included in fuel expense.
     We seek to recapture the increase in aircraft and diesel fuel costs through increasing our prices to our customers and/or through fuel surcharges charged to our customers. We include these fuel surcharges in our scheduled freight revenue. Historically, we have been able to largely offset the rising costs of fuel through these fuel surcharges charged to our customers and/or by raising our prices to our customers. However, if due to competitive pressures or other reasons, we are unable to raise our fuel surcharge and/or our prices, we may be forced to absorb increases in fuel costs. As we attempt to recapture the increase in fuel costs, our customers may seek lower cost freight transportation alternatives to our expedited scheduled freight network. If aircraft and diesel fuel prices remain at historically high levels for an extended period or continue to increase and we are unable to continue to maintain or raise our fuel surcharge and/or our prices sufficiently and/or customers seek lower cost freight transportation alternatives, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
     The rising cost of aircraft fuel increases our working capital requirements because we pay for fuel in advance of providing air freight transportation services and typically do not collect payment for our services until 30 to 45 days after the services are performed. We purchase aircraft fuel from various suppliers at current market prices. We do not currently have any long-term contracts for aircraft fuel, nor do we currently have any agreements to hedge against increases in the price of aircraft fuel. On a regular basis, we review the price and availability of aircraft fuel. If we have the opportunity and ability to execute individual purchases at favorable prices or terms, enter into long-term supply contracts for aircraft fuel or make arrangements to hedge against changes in aircraft fuel prices, we may enter into such agreements or arrangements.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our aircraft fuel averaged $2.12 per gallon as compared to $1.66 per gallon for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 27.7%. Aircraft fuel cost per gallon include the cost of aircraft fuel and the cost of all taxes, fees and surcharges necessary to deliver the aircraft fuel into the aircraft. Depending on the mix of aircraft employed in our network and the amount, origin and destination of freight shipped and the number of days the network operated during each month, the amount of aircraft fuel used in our network will fluctuate causing aircraft fuel price changes to affect our aircraft fuel expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we used between 1.9 million and 2.4 million gallons of aircraft fuel per month as compared to between 2.2 million and 2.8 million gallons for the six months ended June 30, 2005. At current levels of operations

in our scheduled freight network, each $0.01 change in the price per gallon of aircraft fuel results in a change in our annual fuel cost of approximately $260,000.
     Seasonality. Our business is seasonal in nature. In a typical year, demand for our freight service is highest in the third and fourth quarters of the year and weakest in the first and second quarters.
     During 2005 and 2006, we believe our expedited air freight service has been negatively impacted by the rapidly changing and record high cost of aircraft fuel which has resulted in us charging our customers higher total prices as we increased the existing fuel surcharge and raised our prices to offset these costs. We believe this continues to contribute to lower customer demand for our expedited air freight service as compared to 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2005 and again in the first quarter of 2006, we expanded our scheduled freight network to include our expedited ground freight service. Should the current record high price for fuel continue for an extended period of time, we believe our customers could continue to be cautious, selectively purchase, or in some cases, limit their reliance on expedited freight services.
     Fixed Costs. We have significant fixed costs which cannot be materially reduced in the short term. Operating the scheduled freight network requires the operation of network hubs and a certain minimum amount of aircraft and trucking operations for each day that we operate. Once chargeable weight and corresponding revenue reaches the break-even point, each additional dollar of revenue contributes a relatively high percentage to operating income. However, if chargeable weight and corresponding revenue do not reach the break-even point, the operations will sustain losses which could be significant depending on the amount of the deficit. Therefore, we typically have seasonal working capital needs in the second and third quarters of the year to the extent that our revenues do not allow us to cover our costs. Since our scheduled freight business is both seasonal and tied to the economic trends of the U.S. economy, we may also incur additional working capital needs during the first and fourth quarters of the year.
Capital Requirements, Capital Resources and Liquidity
     Capital Requirements. In addition to our normal working capital requirements, we believe our cash requirements for the remainder of 2006 include, but are not limited to, projected capital expenditures of $3.8 million, including investments in information technology and the acquisition and lease of 25 replacement trucks to be operated by Kitty Hawk Ground. Our working capital is also affected by the rising cost of aircraft fuel because we pay for fuel in advance of providing air freight transportation services and typically do not recover these increases through our fuel surcharge or higher prices charged to our customers until the billing for the air freight transportation service is collected, which is usually between 30 to 45 days after the service is performed. Further, our working capital requirements for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were higher than normal due to funding the working capital of operating the assets acquired from ACT since May 2006. Because we did not acquire any of ACT’s accounts receivable, we have funded, and will continue to fund, these working capital requirements until we begin collecting sufficient accounts receivable to fund these operations. Historically, accounts receivable generated by the ACT operations are collected between 50 and 55 days.
     Capital Resources. At June 30, 2006, our net working capital was $12.3 million as compared to $32.6 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in net working capital was primarily due to funding the expansion of our expedited ground service and continued high aircraft fuel costs along with seasonal losses, all of which contributed to a $15.3 million loss before depreciation and amortization expense generated during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our net working capital was also affected by $4.2 million spent related to the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT and the capital expenditures for the scheduled freight network and the cargo airline. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, we paid $0.4 million in dividends related to our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock.
     Credit Facility. On July 19, 2006, we entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with PNC Bank, N.A. or PNC. The Credit Agreement provides for a $20.0 million revolving credit and letter of credit facility, or the Credit Facility, due as a balloon payment in 2009. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
     The Credit Facility replaces a $15.0 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc., or Wells Fargo. Proceeds from the Credit Facility were used to repay existing indebtedness to Wells Fargo and to pay

fees and expenses related to the Credit Facility transaction. Availability under the Credit Facility will be used primarily for working capital needs.
     Availability under the Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of $20.0 million or 85% of eligible receivables. PNC may reject any receivable deemed ineligible in the exercise of its judgment. Additionally, the Credit Facility provides for letters of credit of up to $5.0 million. Letter of credit fees are computed at an annual rate of 2.5% of the average daily face amount of each outstanding letter of credit. At August 11, 2006, we had a borrowing base of $11.9 million, excluding $5.8 million of accounts receivable generated from operating the assets acquired from ACT, outstanding borrowings of $5.8 million and outstanding letters of credit of $2.6 million.
     Interest on outstanding advances under the Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) the base commercial lending rate of PNC and (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 50 basis points. The Credit Facility also allows us to borrow money based on a Eurodollar rate. Interest on Eurodollar rate advances is payable in arrears at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%.
     The Credit Facility provides for a facility fee of .375% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. This fee is payable monthly in arrears. Additionally, we are obligated to pay a termination fee of $200,000 if we terminate the Credit Agreement prior to July 19, 2007 and a termination fee of $100,000 if we terminate the Credit Agreement at any time after July 19, 2007 and before the final maturity date of July 19, 2009.
     The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that restrict our ability and that of our subsidiaries to: engage in mergers, consolidations, or other reorganizations; create or permit liens on assets; incur certain indebtedness, capitalized lease obligations, or guarantee obligations; pay dividends or other distributions (other than dividends on our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock); change the nature of our business; make certain investments or capital expenditures; make certain loans or extensions of credit; change its fiscal year; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; or form new subsidiaries.
     The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain tangible net worth at December 31, 2006 equal to the sum of (i) tangible net worth reported on our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, plus (ii) the product of our net income for the period from July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 multiplied by 0.75 less (iii) any cash dividends permitted by the Credit Agreement. For fiscal years thereafter, we must maintain tangible net worth at the end of the fiscal year of not less than the sum of (i) tangible net worth as of the last day of the prior fiscal year plus (ii) the product of our net income for the fiscal year multiplied by 0.75 less (iii) any cash dividends permitted by the Credit Agreement.
     The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, measured at the end of the quarter ending (i) September 30, 2006 for the quarter then ended, (ii) December 31, 2006 for the two quarters then ended, (iii) March 31, 2007 for the three quarters then ended and (iv) thereafter for the four quarters then ended. The calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio will exclude aircraft maintenance capital expenditures unless undrawn availability under the Credit Facility is less than $5.0 million for thirty consecutive days.
     The Credit Facility also contains default clauses that permit the acceleration of all amounts due following an event of default at the discretion of the lenders, and lock box provisions that apply our cash collections to outstanding borrowings. Upon and after the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations bear interest at 2% over the applicable rate. Based on the terms of the Credit Facility and pursuant to EITF Issue No. 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations Involving Lock-Box Arrangements,” the Company classifies amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, if any, as current.
     Liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations. In addition, we supplement our liquidity by utilizing our credit facility.
     At June 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $7.2 million as compared to $26.6 million at December 31, 2005, and we had $8.2 million of unused availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility compared to $6.7 million

Table of Contents

at December 31, 2005. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $19.4 million is a result of using $15.9 million to fund our operations and spending $3.2 million in investing activities and $0.4 million in financing activities. Our investing activities included $3.0 million for the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT, $1.2 million for the acquisition of other operating assets offset by $1.0 million of proceeds from the sale of our surplus assets. Our financing activities included the payment of $0.4 million of preferred stock dividends and $0.1 million payments on current debt, which were offset by the exercise of outstanding stock options to acquire stock in the first six months of 2006. At August 11, 2006, we had $4.1 million of cash and availability. Because PNC has not yet performed their required audit of the accounts receivable generated from operating the assets acquired from ACT, $5.8 million of these receivables are not yet included in the borrowing base. We are currently working with PNC to have receivables generated from these assets be deemed eligible receivables under the Credit Facility. Our cash and availability is comprised of $0.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 million of unused availability under our PNC Credit Facility. Additionally, we have $0.9 million of restricted cash held by Wells Fargo to secure previously issued letters of credit. We intend to replace these letters of credit with letters of credit issued by PNC.
     We believe that our cash flow from operations, availability under our Credit Facility and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months. However, if the demand for our expedited freight services continues to be negatively impacted by rising fuel prices, if our forecasts prove to be materially inaccurate or if the receivables generated from the former ACT assets are not included in the PNC Credit Facility borrowing base, we may need to supplement our current sources of liquidity during the next 12 months and/or we may need to seek material modifications to our Credit Facility. All of our assets beside aircraft and aircraft parts are encumbered under the Credit Facility, and our owned aircraft and aircraft parts have limited value and marketability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to supplement our existing sources of liquidity or make modifications to our Credit Facility if such actions become necessary.

     Scheduled Freight Network. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the $8.8 million increase in our scheduled freight network revenue was due to a 101.8% increase in our chargeable weight offset by a 37.3% decrease in our average yield as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Our chargeable weight increase was due to providing expedited ground freight service within our scheduled freight network beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the expansion of our network through the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT. Our average

yield decrease was primarily due to a change in the mix of our service as the expedited ground freight service has substantially lower yields than our expedited air freight service. The decrease in yield was partially offset by a higher yield related to our fuel surcharge on our air freight service as we sought to recover the increases in our aircraft fuel costs.
     ACMI. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we flew a dedicated Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft for approximately seven weeks under an ACMI contract as compared to minimal ACMI activity for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
     Miscellaneous. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, our miscellaneous revenue resulted from flying ad-hoc charter services for several customers which generated $1.0 million of revenue. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, our miscellaneous revenue resulted from providing full-truckload, contracted service to our customers outside of our network.

     Flight Expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, flight expense increased $1.5 million, or 22.7%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily a result of higher aircraft lease expense, crew costs and aircraft insurance expense.
     Our aircraft lease expense increased $1.1 million due to the lease expense associated with the operation of the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft for the time period each aircraft was in service offset by lower utilization on the Boeing 727-200 cargo airframes and aircraft engines operated under an aircraft and engine use agreement. Our aircraft flew a total of 3.9%, or 208, more revenue block hours in the scheduled freight network for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005 due primarily to commencing service to an additional airport in August 2005 and other changes in routing of aircraft for operating efficiencies. Our aircraft flew a total of 257%, or 239, more revenue hours related to our ACMI and ad-hoc charter transportation services for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Crew costs increased $0.3 million due in part to more hours flown, longevity pay increases for crew members, and higher travel costs. Our aircraft insurance expense increased $0.2 million due to the addition of the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft which were phased in between March 2005 and September 2005.
     Transportation Expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, transportation expense increased $8.8 million, or 224.4%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase is primarily due to a $8.4 million increase related to our network trucking expense, including purchased transportation costs and owner operator expenses, due to providing the expedited ground service, higher fuel surcharges charged by the truck carriers and costs to operate the assets acquired from ACT from June 22, 2006 to June 30, 2006. Additionally, chartered aircraft expense increased $0.5 million due to 138 more hours from a chartered aircraft operating in the scheduled freight network during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

     Fuel Expense. Fuel expense is comprised of aircraft fuel used in our owned and leased aircraft and aircraft chartered into the scheduled freight network and fuel purchased by us for use in our owned and leased trucks operated in our scheduled freight network. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, fuel expense increased $0.9 million, or 6.8%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
     Aircraft fuel expense increased approximately $1.0 million resulting from an increase in the average cost of aircraft fuel amounting to a $2.9 million increase in fuel expense which was partially offset by a decrease in fuel consumption amounting to a $1.9 million decrease in fuel expense. Our average cost per gallon of aircraft fuel increased $0.48, or 27.1%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The number of gallons used for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 decreased by approximately 1.1 million gallons, or 15.3%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in fuel consumption is primarily due to the substitution of seven fuel efficient Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft into the scheduled freight network and our fuel conservation efforts offset by the additional revenue hours flown in the network.
     Operating the trucks acquired from ACT in our network during the second quarter of 2006 contributed $0.1 million to the total increase in fuel expense.
     Maintenance Expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, maintenance expense increased $1.4 million, or 54.8%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Of this increase, $1.2 million is due to maintenance expense related to the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft under a third-party maintenance agreement, which provides for “power-by-the-hour” payments and fixed monthly costs, subject to annual escalations, $0.1 million of higher outsourced outstation maintenance and contract labor and $0.2 million of engineering fees related to upgrading our flight, maintenance and operation manuals and procedures. Maintenance expense related to our owned and leased trucks contributed to $0.1 million of the increase in maintenance expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. These increases were offset by $0.1 million of decreased maintenance costs on the Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft due to 39.7% fewer block hours flown as we grounded these aircraft by either parking the aircraft or returning them to the lessor as they come due for heavy maintenance.
     Freight Handling Expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, freight handling expense increased $2.4 million, or 36.8%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase in freight handling expense was due to a 101.8% increase in chargeable weight. Freight handling expense decreased 32.2% on a chargeable weight basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005 due to renegotiating the majority of our freight handling contracts due to the expansion of our expedited ground service and handling of the chargeable weight by our own employees at some of our regional hubs.
     Depreciation and Amortization. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.2 million, or 22.6%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is due to assets becoming fully depreciated prior to June 30, 2006 without incurring a significant amount of capital expenditures to replace or extend the life of these assets.
     Operating Overhead Expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, operating overhead increased $0.4 million, or 14.8%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. We incurred increases in our ground operations and cargo administrative wages and increased travel expense as we marketed our new expedited ground service. We also incurred increased outstation lease expense related to our new regional hubs as well as additional contract labor costs and advertising costs to support the new expedited ground service. During the second quarter of 2006, we increased our allowance for doubtful accounts by $0.1 million compared to a second quarter 2005 benefit of $0.5 million for bad debt expense due to the recovery of a previously reserved receivable. Offsetting these increases was a reduction of $1.1 million of expenses related to the induction of the Boeing 737- 300SF cargo aircraft for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to June 30, 2005. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a $0.4 million refund related to retroactive adjustments for our workers compensation insurance as claims for June 2003 to May 2005 were less than anticipated.

     Gross Loss
     As a result of the foregoing, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a gross loss of $6.5 million compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
     General and Administrative Expense
     General and administrative expense increased $0.4 million, or 22.6%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to incurring $0.2 million in higher compensation expense related to the accounting for stock options under SFAS 123R. Additionally, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was further reduced by $0.2 million of gains from the sale of assets compared to $0.4 million of gains from the sale of assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
     Other Income
     Other income increased $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income related to our short-term cash investments.
     Income Taxes
     For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized no tax benefit associated with our operating losses because we continue to provide a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

     Scheduled Freight Network. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the $16.0 million increase in our scheduled freight network revenue was due to a 73.1% increase in our chargeable weight offset by a 29.6% decrease in our average yield as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Our chargeable weight increase was primarily due to providing expedited ground freight service within our scheduled freight network beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the expansion of our network through the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT in the second quarter of 2006. Our average yield decrease was primarily due to a change in the mix of our service as the expedited ground freight service has substantially lower yields than our expedited air freight service. The decrease in yield was partially offset by a higher yield related to our fuel surcharge on our air freight service as we sought to recover the increases in our aircraft fuel costs.
     ACMI. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we flew a dedicated Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft for seven weeks under an ACMI contract as compared to minimal ACMI activity for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
     Miscellaneous. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our miscellaneous revenue resulted from flying ad-hoc charter services for several customers which generated $1.0 million of revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our miscellaneous revenue resulted from providing full-truckload, contracted service to our customers outside of our network.

     Flight Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, flight expense increased $3.5 million, or 26.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily a result of higher aircraft lease expense, crew costs and aircraft insurance expense.
     Our aircraft lease expense increased $2.5 million due to the lease expense associated with the operation of the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft for the time period each aircraft was in service offset by lower utilization on the Boeing 727-200 cargo airframes and aircraft engines operated under an aircraft and engine use agreement. Our aircraft flew a total of 5.4%, or 602, more revenue block hours in the scheduled freight network for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 due primarily to commencing service to an additional air city in August 2005 and other aircraft routing changes to gain operational efficiencies. Our aircraft flew a total of 11.1%, or 33, more revenue hours related to our ACMI and ad-hoc charter transportation services for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Crew costs increased $0.5 million due in part to higher training costs related to the Boeing 737-300SF as these costs were included in operating overhead expense during the first six months of 2005 as part of the induction costs, additional hours flown, longevity pay increases for crew members, and higher travel costs. Our aircraft insurance expense increased $0.4 million due to the addition of the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft which were phased in between March 2005 and September 2005.
     Transportation Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, transportation expense increased $15.0 million, or 218.7%, from the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase is primarily due to a $13.9 million increase related to our network trucking expense, including owner-operator costs, due to the launch of our expedited ground service, higher fuel surcharges charged by the truck carriers and costs to operate the assets acquired from ACT from June 22, 2006 to June 30, 2006. Additionally, chartered aircraft expense increased $1.3 million due to 377 more hours from a chartered aircraft operating in the scheduled freight network during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. These increases were offset by a $0.2 million decrease in aircraft ground operating costs, including lower deicing expense.
     Fuel Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, fuel expense increased $2.2 million, or 8.6%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005.
     Aircraft fuel expense increased approximately $2.1 million resulting from an increase in the average cost of aircraft fuel amounting to a $5.8 million increase in fuel expense which was partially offset by a decrease in fuel consumption amounting to a $3.7 million decrease in fuel expense. Our average cost per gallon of aircraft fuel increased $0.46, or 27.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The number of gallons used for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by approximately 2.2 million gallons, or 14.4%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in fuel consumption is primarily due to the substitution of seven fuel efficient Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft to the scheduled freight network and our fuel conservation efforts offset by more revenue block hours flown in the network.
     Operating the trucks acquired from ACT in our network during the six months ended June 30, 2006 contributed $0.1 million to the total increase in fuel expense.
     Maintenance Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, maintenance expense increased $2.6 million, or 50.7%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Of this increase, $2.6 million is due to maintenance expense related to the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft under a third-party maintenance agreement, which provides for “power-by-the-hour” payments and fixed monthly costs, subject to annual escalations, $0.3 million of higher outsourced outstation maintenance and contract labor and $0.3 million of engineering fees related to upgrading our flight, maintenance and operation manuals and procedures. Maintenance expense related to the assets acquired from ACT contributed to $0.1 million of the increase in maintenance expense. These increases were offset by $0.5 million of decreased maintenance costs on the Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft due to 44.1% fewer block hours flown as we grounded these aircraft by either parking the aircraft or returning them to the lessor as they come due for heavy maintenance.
     Freight Handling Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, freight handling expense increased $4.2 million, or 32.4%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in freight handling expense was due to a 73.1% increase in chargeable weight. Freight handling expense decreased 23.5% on a chargeable weight

basis for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to renegotiating the majority of our freight handling contracts due to the expansion of our expedited ground service and handling of the chargeable weight by our own employees at some of our regional hubs.
     Depreciation and Amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.3 million, or 16.2%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is due to assets becoming fully depreciated prior to June 30, 2006 without incurring a significant amount of capital expenditures to replace or extend the life of these assets.
     Operating Overhead Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, operating overhead increased $0.5 million, or 8.5%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. We incurred increases of $0.4 million in our ground operations and administrative wages and $0.2 million in travel expense as we marketed our new expedited ground service. We also incurred increased outstation lease expense related to our new regional hubs as well as additional contract labor costs and advertising costs to support the new expedited ground service. We incurred $0.2 million in professional fees related to the replacement of one of our information technology systems. During the first six months of 2006, we increased our allowance for doubtful accounts by $0.1 million compared to the first six months of 2005 benefit of $0.6 million for bad debt expense due to the recovery of a previously reserved receivable. Offsetting these increases was the reduction of $1.5 million of expenses related to the induction of the Boeing 737- 300SF cargo aircraft for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to June 30, 2005. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a $0.4 million refund related to retroactive adjustments for our workers compensation insurance as claims for June 2003 to May 2005 were less than anticipated.
     Gross Loss
     As a result of the foregoing, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a gross loss of $12.8 million compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
     General and Administrative Expense
     General and administrative expense increased $0.5 million, or 12.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to incurring $0.4 million in higher compensation expense related to the accounting for stock options under SFAS 123R and $0.2 million in higher administrative wages for additional personnel. Additionally, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was further reduced by $0.6 million of gains from the sale of assets compared to $0.5 million of gains from the sale of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
     Other Income
     Other income increased $0.2 million, or 29.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due an increase in interest income related to our short-term cash investments.
     Income Taxes
     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized no tax benefit associated with our operating losses because we continue to provide a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We have not experienced any significant changes in our market risk since the disclosures made in “Item 1A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
     Changes in Internal Controls. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed. There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
     We are currently undergoing a comprehensive effort to ensure compliance with the new regulations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that take effect for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, including an evaluation of the internal controls related to the operations of the assets acquired from ACT. This effort includes internal control documentation and review under the direction of senior management. In the course of its ongoing evaluation, our management has identified certain areas requiring improvement, which we are addressing.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     General Motors. General Motors and Delphi Automotive were sued in Wayne County, Michigan by a number of air charter carriers in connection with air transportation services we arranged with them on behalf of General Motors and Delphi Automotive and for which the air charter carriers were not paid as a result of our bankruptcy.

30


Table of Contents

     The air charter carriers are seeking to recover approximately $4.6 million from General Motors and Delphi Automotive. General Motors named us as a third party defendant in the litigation seeking indemnification of up to $4.6 million against us. The parties agreed that the indemnification claim would be heard in the bankruptcy court in Fort Worth, Texas and we were dismissed from the litigation in Wayne County, Michigan. On November 3, 2004, the bankruptcy court granted our motion that General Motors’ claim for indemnification be denied in its entirety. General Motors appealed the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of its claim to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. On August 25, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, denied General Motors’ appeal. General Motors then filed a motion to reconsider with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, which was also denied. On January 31, 2006, General Motors filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, appealing the denial of its motion to reconsider. While we cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time, we believe this claim should have been discharged when our plan of reorganization was confirmed by the bankruptcy court. We will vigorously defend against General Motors’ claim. No amounts have been accrued for this contingency.
     Other. We are also subject to various legal proceedings and other claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such legal proceedings and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, our management does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business.
