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, 2006, are unaudited (except for the December 31, 2006 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
     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 RSUs 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 RSUs 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.
     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 recognizes the compensation 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.

5. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA
     As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s operations were comprised of three segments — a scheduled freight network, a ground transportation services company 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. The allocation of assets is primarily a result of intercompany charges for services between the 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.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
     In March 2003, the Company issued common stock 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 March 31, 2007, warrants to purchase 1,076,605 shares of common stock remain outstanding. These warrants expire in 2013.
     A reconciliation of the shares used in the per share computation are as follows:

7. ASSET ACQUISITION
     On June 22, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kitty Hawk Ground, acquired substantially all of the operating assets of 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.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” of the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for information on these agreements and relationships.
9. REVOLVING FACILITY
     On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Security Agreement and Secured Revolving Note, or the Revolving Facility, with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., or Laurus. This Revolving Facility replaced the prior $20 million credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association. The Revolving Facility provides for borrowings up to $25 million, subject to a borrowing base of up to 90% of eligible receivables. The Revolving Facility bears interest at prime plus 1.5%, subject to a floor of 9.0% and a cap of 11.0%. There are no financial performance covenants. The Revolving Facility contains non-financial covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things: engage in mergers, consolidations, or other reorganizations; create or permit liens on assets; dispose of certain assets; incur certain indebtedness; guarantee obligations; pay dividends or other distributions (other than dividends on its Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock); materially change the nature of its business; make certain investments; make certain loans or advances; prepay certain indebtedness (with the exception of Laurus or in the ordinary course of business); change its fiscal year or make changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices except as required by GAAP or the law; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; or form new subsidiaries. The Revolving Facility matures on September 30, 2010. The obligations under the Revolving Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the stock of its subsidiaries. The Company capitalized $1.4 million of debt issuance costs upon closing of the Revolving Facility, including $0.9 million of fees paid to Laurus, $0.3 million of fees paid to B. Riley & Company and $0.2 million of legal fees.
     In connection with the Revolving Facility, the Company also issued to Laurus a five year warrant to purchase up to 8,216,657 shares of its common stock, or the Warrant. The exercise price of the Warrant is $0.91 per share. The exercise price is not subject to adjustment or reset, other than to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, Laurus will not sell any shares for which it has exercised the Warrant prior to March 29, 2008. Laurus also will not sell shares for which it has exercised the Warrant during a 22-day trading period in a number that exceeds 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the 22-day trading period immediately preceding the sales. The issuance of the Warrant is similar to an up front fee paid to the lender for entering into the Revolving Facility. The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the Warrant to be approximately $4.2 million which was recorded as additional capital and debt issuance cost. Debt issuance cost is included in other long-term assets and other current assets and is amortized over the term of the Revolving Facility.

     The Company entered into a registration rights agreement whereby it agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the registration of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant within 90 days of the closing date of the Revolving Facility. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 180 days of the closing date of the Revolving Facility.
10. INCOME TAXES
     The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. The Company has analyzed all filing positions in federal and state tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. Major tax jurisdictions of the Company include the federal jurisdiction and the states of Texas, Indiana, California, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Tax years open to examination include 2003 through 2006 for the federal return. A federal audit for 2004 has been completed with no change to the Company’s tax liability. State tax returns are open to examination for years 2002 through 2005. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that all income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit. Accordingly, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded in the financial statements pursuant to FIN 48.
      Following the adoption of FIN 48, the Company will recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-Q complements the information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Please refer to the information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for additional information regarding our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations.
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.
     Scheduled Freight Network. We operate an independent primarily airport-to-airport scheduled freight network that provides two products for predominantly heavy weight and oversized freight, an expedited overnight and second-morning air product and a time-definite ground freight product. Our network operates between selected cities in North America, including the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and Puerto Rico. Most of our expedited air freight product 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 product is routed directly to its destination city or through regional hubs located in Los Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Newark, New Jersey and Fort Wayne, Indiana. As of May 11, 2007, our scheduled freight network offered an expedited overnight and second-morning air freight product to 59 business centers and an expedited time-definite ground freight product to 58 business centers. We have business alliances that allow us to provide freight services to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico.
     Our scheduled freight network business relies on customers who need expedited delivery on an as-needed basis for air or ground delivery. We generally 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, among other things.
     A significant portion of the freight transported in our network relates to the electronics, telecom and related infrastructure equipment, automotive, 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, as such, typically being the highest revenue quarters.
     In addition, the demand for our expedited air and ground freight products 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, our net loss was primarily a result of, among other things, reduced demand for our expedited air freight services. We believe the reduction in demand for our air product is attributable to our customers seeking less expensive transportation alternatives due to the continued high cost of fuel which we pass on to our customers in the form of our fuel surcharge. We also believe the reduction in demand for our air and ground product is attributable to weak economic conditions in the sectors that we serve. We believe other domestic

freight transportation companies are also experiencing similar weaker than historical demand during this period. In response to these developments, we are rationalizing our air and ground transportation schedules to better match capacity to demand and reducing our infrastructure costs, including staffing. We continue to experience weak demand for our air and ground products during the second quarter of 2007.
     Ground Transportation. With the June 2006 acquisition of the ACT assets, we expanded our ground transportation services company. These assets, along with owner operators and contracted dedicated trucks, are managed by Kitty Hawk Ground and provide dedicated ground transportation services for Kitty Hawk Cargo’s scheduled freight network. Kitty Hawk Ground provides exclusive use vehicles for the dedicated transportation of truckload freight, or EUVs, for a limited number of customers, including international and domestic airlines, which are not operated within the Kitty Hawk Cargo scheduled freight network. Additionally, we provide local transportation service for movement of freight to cities not included in our network. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, ground transportation service revenue was 5.9% of our total revenue. As of May 11, 2007, Kitty Hawk Ground managed 200 owner operators, owned and leased trucks and contracted trucks.
     Cargo Airline. Kitty Hawk Aircargo, our all-cargo airline, provides dedicated air transportation services for Kitty Hawk Cargo’s scheduled freight network. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, Kitty Hawk Aircargo flew 97.0% of its block hours in Kitty Hawk Cargo’s scheduled freight network. As of May 11, 2007, Kitty Hawk Aircargo operated seven Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft under operating leases, six owned Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft and one Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft available under an aircraft and engine use agreement. Kitty Hawk Aircargo also generates revenue from external customers through ACMI (air transportation service consisting of the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance on a contractual basis) and ad-hoc charter (transportation service consisting of the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance on an on-demand basis that may also include other costs to operate the aircraft, including aircraft fuel and aircraft handling charges) arrangements. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, approximately 1.3% of our revenue was from ACMI and ad-hoc charter 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 from our customers through increasing our prices and/or through fuel surcharges. 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 and/or price increases. 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 increase from current prices 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.
     Increases in the cost of aircraft fuel increases our working capital requirements because we pay for aircraft 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, our aircraft fuel averaged $1.97 per gallon as compared to $2.00 per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of 1.5%. Aircraft fuel cost per gallon includes the cost of aircraft fuel and the cost of all taxes, fees and surcharges necessary to deliver the aircraft fuel into the aircraft. The amount of aircraft fuel used in our network depends on the mix of aircraft employed in our network, the amount, origin and destination of freight shipped and the number of days the network is operated

13


Table of Contents

during each month. A change in aircraft fuel price will affect our total aircraft fuel expense as these factors fluctuate. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used between 1.5 million and 1.9 million gallons of aircraft fuel per month as compared to between 2.0 million and 2.4 million gallons for the three months ended March 31, 2006 in the scheduled freight network. 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 $200,000.
     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. Generally, we believe that the demand for expedited air service is susceptible to greater seasonal fluctuations than demand for the expedited, time-definite ground services.
     During 2006 and 2007, we believe our expedited air freight product has been negatively impacted by the rapidly changing and 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 product. Should the record high prices for fuel continue, 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 cash and collections of accounts receivable 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 next twelve months include, but are not limited to, projected capital expenditures of less than $2.0 million, including investments in information technology. 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.
     Capital Resources. At March 31, 2007, our net working capital was $7.7 million as compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in net working capital was primarily due to funding the estimated $11.3 million of seasonal losses.
     New Revolving Facility. On March 29, 2007, we entered into the Revolving Facility with Laurus. This Revolving Facility replaced the prior $20 million credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, or PNC.. The Revolving Facility provides for borrowings up to $25 million, subject to a borrowing base of up to 90% of eligible receivables. The Revolving Facility bears interest at prime plus 1.5%, subject to a floor of 9.0% and a cap of 11.0%. There are no financial performance covenants. The Revolving Facility contains non-financial covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things: engage in mergers, consolidations, or other reorganizations; create or permit liens on assets; dispose of certain assets; incur certain indebtedness; guarantee obligations; pay dividends or other distributions (other than dividends on our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock); materially change the nature of our business; make certain investments; make certain loans or advances; prepay certain indebtedness (with the exception of Laurus or in the ordinary course of business); change our fiscal year or make changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices except as required by GAAP or the law; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; or form new subsidiaries. The Revolving Facility matures on September 30, 2010. The obligations under the Revolving Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, including the stock of our subsidiaries. As of May 11, 2007, we had a borrowing base of $14.4 million, outstanding borrowings of $10.4 million and $4.0 million of availability.

14


Table of Contents

     Our outstanding borrowings include $3.9 million to cash collateralize our outstanding letters of credit.
     We also issued to Laurus a five year warrant to purchase up to 8,216,657 shares of our common stock, or the Warrant. The exercise price of the Warrant is $0.91 per share. The exercise price is not subject to adjustment or reset, other than to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, Laurus will not sell any shares for which it has exercised the Warrant prior to March 29, 2008. Laurus also will not sell shares for which it has exercised the Warrant during a 22 day trading period in a number that exceeds 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock for the 22 day trading period immediately preceding the sales. The issuance of the Warrant is similar to an up front fee paid to the lender for entering into the Revolving Facility. We determined the aggregate fair value of the Warrant to be approximately $4.2 million which was recorded as additional capital and debt issuance cost. Debt issuance cost is included in other long-term assets and other current assets and is amortized over the term of the Revolving Facility.
     In connection with the Warrant, we entered into a registration rights agreement whereby we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the registration of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant within 90 days of the closing date of the Revolving Facility. We agreed to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 180 days of the closing date of the Revolving Facility.
     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 Revolving Facility.
     At March 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents were $4.2 million as compared to $9.6 million at December 31, 2006, and we had $6.5 million of unused availability under the Laurus Revolving Facility compared to $13.6 million of unused availability under the prior credit facility with PNC, including a $2.0 million liquidity reserve, at December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million is a result of using $9.5 million to fund our operations and using $3.4 million in investing activities offset by $7.5 million provided by financing activities. Our investing activities generated $0.7 million of proceeds from the sale of our surplus assets offset by placing $3.9 million in restricted cash to secure our outstanding letters of credit and spending $0.2 million for capital expenditures. Our financing activities included net borrowings of $9.3 million on the Laurus Revolving Facility offset by spending $1.6 million in debt issuance costs related to the Laurus Revolving Facility. At May 11, 2007, we had $2.3 million of cash on hand and $4.0 million of unused availability under our Revolving Facility with Laurus.
     At May 11, 2007, based on current forecasts, we believe we have sufficient available cash and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility to fund our working capital needs over the next twelve months. However, there is no assurance that our forecasts will prove to be accurate, including our forecast that, because of our performance under a contract in 2006 with the United States Postal Service, or USPS, whereby we managed a daytime air and ground cargo network for the holiday season mail, or the C-NET network, we will be awarded the management of the 2007 C-NET network in the event that the USPS decides to operate it. If the demand for our expedited freight services continues to be negatively impacted by rising fuel prices or general weakness in demand for our air and ground freight products in 2007, or if our forecasts prove to be materially inaccurate, we may need to raise additional funds, supplement our current sources of liquidity during the next twelve months and/or seek material modifications to our Revolving Facility. Substantially all of our assets are encumbered under the Revolving Facility. If we are required to raise additional funds, supplement our existing sources of liquidity or make modifications to our Revolving Facility and are unable to do so either on economic terms or at all, our business may be materially adversely affected.

     Scheduled Freight Network. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the $1.2 million decrease in our scheduled freight network revenue was due to a 142.0% increase in our chargeable weight offset by a 57.3% decrease in our average yield as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Approximately $6.6 million of the increase was attributable to our expedited ground freight product which increased from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was offset by a $7.7 million decrease in revenue attributable to our expedited air freight product which decreased from $37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $29.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our chargeable weight increase was due to the expansion of our network through the acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT in June 2006. Our average yield decrease was primarily due to a change in the mix of our products as the expedited ground freight product has substantially higher volumes at lower yields than our expedited air freight product. The decrease in yield was partially offset by a higher fuel surcharge on our air freight product as we sought to recover the increases in our aircraft fuel costs.
     ACMI. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, our ACMI revenue was due to operating one aircraft under an ACMI contract.

     Flight Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, flight expense decreased $0.8 million, or 9.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily a result of lower aircraft lease expense, crew costs and aircraft insurance expense.
     Our aircraft lease expense decreased $0.4 million due to 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 1,354 less revenue block hours in the scheduled freight network, a decrease of 21.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 due primarily to reductions in our flight schedule and changes in routing of aircraft for operating efficiencies. Our aircraft flew a total of 152 revenue block hours related to our ACMI and ad-hoc charter transportation services for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to no revenue block hours in the three months ended March 31, 2006. Crew costs decreased $0.3 million due in part to less revenue block hours operated by the fleet. Our aircraft insurance expense decreased $0.1 million due in part to reduced premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006.
     Transportation Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, transportation expense increased $4.7 million, or 51.1%, from the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to an increase in our network trucking expense to provide our expedited ground freight product, including purchased transportation costs and owner operator expenses, due to the significant expansion to the network during 2006, including the June 2006 acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of ACT. Additionally, chartered aircraft expense increased $1.0 million due to 290 more block hours from a chartered aircraft operating in the scheduled freight network during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 120.9%.
     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 diesel fuel used in our owned and leased trucks operated in our scheduled freight network. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, fuel expense decreased $2.5 million, or 18.8%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006.
     Aircraft fuel expense decreased approximately $3.2 million resulting from a $3.0 million decrease in fuel consumption and a $0.2 million decrease in the average cost of aircraft fuel. Our average cost per gallon of aircraft fuel decreased $0.03, or 1.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The number of gallons used in our scheduled freight network decreased by approximately 1.5 million gallons, or 22.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in fuel consumption is primarily due to our fuel conservation efforts and less revenue hours flown in the network.

     Operating the trucks acquired from ACT in our network during June 2006 contributed $0.7 million to total fuel expense.
     Maintenance Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, maintenance expense decreased $0.1 million, or 2.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Of this change, maintenance expense related to our owned and leased trucks since their acquisition in June 2006 was $0.4 million and 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, increased $0.1 million due to more revenue block hours on these aircraft. These increases were offset by $0.3 million less maintenance expense related to operating the Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft due to a reduction in the number of aircraft flying resulting in lower external labor costs. We also incurred $0.1 million of lower parts issuance costs resulting from the lower of cost or market adjustment that was recorded in 2006.
     Freight Handling Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, freight handling expense increased $0.4 million, or 5.0%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in freight handling expense was primarily attributable to a 142.3% increase in chargeable weight. Freight handling expense per pound of chargeable weight decreased 56.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to volume discounts available under our freight handling contracts. In addition, freight handing expense per pound decreased due to handling an increased percentage of the system chargeable weight by our own employees at some of our regional hubs and outstations.
     Depreciation and Amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.1 million, or 17.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to depreciating the operating assets acquired from ACT and amortizing the intangible assets associated with the ACT transaction offset by some assets becoming fully depreciated prior to March 31, 2007 without incurring a significant amount of capital expenditures to replace or extend the life of those assets.
     Operating Overhead Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, operating overhead increased $1.6 million, or 53.7%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to the expansion of our network with the acquisition of the operating assets of ACT and operating our ground transportation services company. This activity resulted in increased outstation lease expense related to our new regional hubs and other service terminals, increased insurance costs and increased administrative wages for management, safety and customer service personnel. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in our allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to no bad debt expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
GROSS LOSS
     As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized a gross loss of $7.9 million compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
     General and administrative expense increased $1.2 million, or 52.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to incurring $0.2 million of fees related to terminating our bank agreement with PNC Bank when it was replaced by an agreement with Laurus and writing off $0.5 million of debt issuance costs that were capitalized related to the PNC agreement. We also incurred $0.4 million more in general and administrative wages related to operating the assets acquired from ACT and $0.1 million of higher professional fees related to strategic planning initiatives. Additionally, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was further increased by $0.1 million of fewer gains from the sale of assets compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006.

OTHER INCOME
     Other income decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 primarily due to less interest income earned due to carrying a lower average cash balance.
INCOME TAXES
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, 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, 2006.
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 Principal 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 Principal 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 is 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.

Table of Contents

     We are currently undergoing a comprehensive effort to ensure compliance with the 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 of controls under the direction of senior management. In the course of its ongoing implementation, our management has identified certain areas requiring improvement, which we are addressing.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Relating to Our Business
     The as-needed nature of our scheduled freight business and the types of industries we serve subject our business to significant market fluctuations that are beyond our control, and a downward market fluctuation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     Our scheduled freight network relies on customers who need expedited or time-definite delivery on an as-needed basis for air freight and time-definite delivery on an as-needed basis for ground freight. As the freight is shipped on an as-needed basis, we do not have 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 including services from competitors who are larger than we are, serve more cities than we do and have more financial resources than we do. The amount of freight shipped in our scheduled freight network during any particular time period can fluctuate significantly due to the foregoing factors. A downward fluctuation in demand for our scheduled freight services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     Our inability to execute upon our plans to increase sales of our ground freight product, or to manage or to generate sufficient revenues from that line of business, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     We operate an independent primarily airport-to-airport scheduled freight network that provides two products for predominantly heavy weight and oversized freight, an expedited overnight and second-morning air product to 59 business centers and a time-definite ground freight product to 58 cities as of May 11, 2007. Our growth plans for our ground freight product will place significant demands on our management and operating personnel. If we are unable to manage the growth of our ground freight product effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Accordingly, our business and future operating results will depend on the ability of our management and operating personnel to expand our ground freight product as well as successfully and fully integrate the operations we acquired from ACT.
     Our inability to attract and retain sufficient business from customers at economical prices for our expedited air and deferred ground freight product could impair our ability to compete and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     The profitability of our network depends on our ability to carry sufficient freight to cover the fixed costs of our network, including, but not limited to, aircraft leases, pilots, maintenance and support infrastructure, facilities and trucking costs, working capital needs associated with operating and expanding our ground freight services and

23


Table of Contents

certain recurring fixed costs. If we are unable to attract and retain sufficient business from customers willing to pay rates sufficient to cover our costs and generate a profit, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
     We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers, and the loss of their business or payment defaults by one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     We have over 550 active freight forwarder, logistics company and international and domestic airline customers. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, our top 25 customers accounted for more than 51.3% of our total revenue and our top five customers accounted for more than 23.7% of our total revenue. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, our top three network customers, Pilot Air Freight, Inc., Eagle Global Logistics, Inc. and AIT Freight Systems, Inc., accounted for 8.6%, 4.8% and 4.1% of our total revenue, respectively. Additionally, our contracts with the USPS accounted for more than 14.7% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     We do not have material minimum shipping contracts with our customers, including our most significant customers. The loss of one or more of these customers, or a significant reduction in the use of our services by one or more of these customers, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     We have potential liquidity issues and further financing cannot be guaranteed.
     During 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, we generated significant losses due to, among other things, the on going startup of our ground freight product, acquiring substantially all of the operating assets of ACT, weakness in demand for our air freight product and high fuel expenses. While we believe we have sufficient available cash and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility to fund our working capital needs over the next twelve months, there is no assurance that our forecasts will prove to be accurate. If the demand for our expedited freight services continues to be negatively impacted by rising fuel prices or general industry weakness during the remainder of 2007, we may need to raise additional funds, supplement our current sources of liquidity during the next twelve months. Substantially all of our assets are encumbered under the Revolving Facility. If we are required to raise additional funds or supplement our existing sources of liquidity and are unable to do so either on economic terms or at all, our business may be materially adversely affected.
     The terms of our Revolving Facility could restrict our operations.
     Our Revolving Facility contains non-financial covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things: engage in mergers, consolidations, or other reorganizations; create or permit liens on assets; dispose of certain assets; incur certain indebtedness; guarantee obligations; pay dividends or other distributions (other than dividends on our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock); materially change the nature of our business; make certain investments; make certain loans or advances; prepay certain indebtedness (with the exception of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., or Laurus, or in the ordinary course of business); change our fiscal year or make changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices except as required by GAAP or the law; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; or form new subsidiaries. These restrictions may limit our ability to engage in activities which could improve our business, including obtaining future financing, making needed capital expenditures, or taking advantage of business opportunities such as strategic acquisitions and dispositions, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     Our failure to comply with certain covenants in the Revolving Facility could result in an event of default that could cause acceleration of the repayment of our indebtedness.
     As discussed above, the terms of the Revolving Facility require us to comply with certain non-financial covenants. Our failure to comply with the covenants and requirements contained in the Revolving Facility could cause an event of default. There can be no assurance that Laurus would waive any non-compliance. Further, the occurrence of an event of default (that is uncured or unwaived) could prohibit us from accessing additional borrowings and permit Laurus to declare the amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility to be immediately due and payable. In addition, pursuant to our lockbox arrangement with Laurus, upon an event of default, Laurus

24


Table of Contents

could apply all of the payments on our accounts receivable to repay the amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility. In that event, we would not have access to the cash flow generated by our accounts receivable until the amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility is first repaid in full. An event of default under our Revolving Facility, particularly if followed by an acceleration of any outstanding amount, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     At May 11, 2007, we had a borrowing base of $14.4 million and $10.4 million of outstanding borrowings, which includes $3.9 million to cash collateralize our outstanding letters of credit. In the event of an event of default, our assets or cash flow may not be sufficient to repay fully our borrowings under our Revolving Facility, and we may be unable to refinance or restructure the payments on the Revolving Facility on favorable terms or at all.
     The U.S. freight transportation industry is highly competitive and, if we cannot successfully compete, our results of operations and profitability may be materially adversely affected.
     The U.S. freight transportation industry is extremely large and encompasses a broad range of transportation modes and service levels. Freight is shipped on either an expedited or time-definite basis. Expedited freight transit times vary from a few hours to overnight to second morning. In contrast, time-definite freight includes scheduled freight transit times of up to five days. Both expedited and time-definite freight include freight of varying sizes and weights, from small envelopes to heavy weight or oversized freight requiring dedicated aircraft or trucks.
     Our scheduled freight network generally competes in the inter-city, heavy weight and oversized, next morning and second-day expedited and time-definite freight segments of the U.S. freight transportation industry. These segments are highly competitive and very fragmented. The ability to compete effectively depends on price, frequency of service, cargo capacity, ability to track freight, extent of geographic coverage and reliability. We generally compete with regional delivery firms, commercial passenger airlines that provide freight service on their scheduled flights, trucking companies for deliveries of less than 1,000 mile distances, regional and national expedited and less-than-truckload trucking companies and integrated freight transportation companies, such as FedEx and United Parcel Service. Many of our competitors have substantially larger freight networks, serve significantly more cities and have considerably more freight system capacity, capital and financial resources than we do.
     Our ability to attract and retain business also is affected by whether, and to what extent, our customers decide to coordinate their own transportation needs. Certain of our current customers maintain transportation departments that could be expanded to manage freight transportation in-house. If we cannot successfully compete against companies providing services similar to, or that are substitutes for, our own or if our customers begin to provide for themselves the services we currently provide to them, our business may be materially adversely affected.
     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. We experienced weak demand during the traditional peak season shipping pattern for 2006 and continue to experience weak demand during the first two quarters of 2007. We believe other domestic freight transportation companies may have also experienced similar weaker than historical demand during this period.
     We have experienced recent changes in senior management that could adversely affect the operation of our business.
     Robert W. Zoller, Jr., who served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer since November 2002, retired as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer effective April 30, 2007. Although he remains a member of our Board of Directors and is serving as a consultant to the Company, this is a substantial change for the Company and its management team. An Executive Committee comprised of two of current members of our Board of Directors, Melvin Keating and Joseph Ruffolo, has assumed Mr. Zoller’s responsibilities until a replacement is appointed, if any. This is a significant change in management and could create transitional

25


Table of Contents

challenges for us. We cannot be assured that a smooth transition to the management of the Executive Committee has occurred or that we have taken the necessary steps to effect an orderly continuation of our operations during this transitional period.
     ACT has been operated as a private company that is not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley Act regulations and, therefore, may lack the internal controls and procedures of a public company.
     The management of ACT was not required to establish and maintain an internal control infrastructure meeting the standards promulgated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result, there is no assurance that the business acquired from ACT does not have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting of the acquired business may cause significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and affect our ability to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
     Writedowns of the value of our aircraft parts and supplies inventory could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     When we emerged from bankruptcy in September 2002, we had a substantial amount of Boeing 727-200 aircraft parts and supplies inventory. The amount of aircraft parts and supplies inventory necessary to operate our Boeing 727-200 fleet is dependent upon the number of Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft that we operate as well as the number of hours they fly. To the extent we reduce the number of Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft that we operate in the future either through attrition or replacement with other aircraft types, including the Boeing 737-300SF cargo aircraft, we may need fewer Boeing 727-200 aircraft parts and supplies inventory to maintain our Boeing 727-200 fleet. If we conclude we have aircraft parts and supplies inventory in excess of our current or anticipated future needs and if we determine that the fair market value of our Boeing 727-200 aircraft parts and supplies inventory has declined from our current carrying value, we would writedown the value of our Boeing 727-200 aircraft parts and supplies inventory. We review this inventory periodically and value it at least annually.
     In conjunction with a review of our aircraft fleet composition plan and Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft parts and supplies at the end of 2006, we estimated that the recorded cost of a portion of our active inventory and aircraft supplies exceeded fair market value and recorded a $2.3 million lower of cost or market adjustment. As of December 31, 2006, we maintained a surplus inventory parts and supplies valuation reserve of $0.2 million. The carrying value of our inventory, including reserves, was approximately $2.2 million as of December 31, 2006. Any further writedowns could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     If we lose access to, or sustain damage to, our Fort Wayne, Indiana facilities, our business would be interrupted, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
     Our Fort Wayne, Indiana facilities act as the hub of our expedited scheduled air freight services. Most of the air freight we transport passes through our Fort Wayne facilities on the way to its final destination. If we are unable to access our Fort Wayne facilities because of security concerns, a natural disaster, a condemnation or otherwise or if these facilities are destroyed or materially damaged, our business would be materially adversely affected.
     Furthermore, any damage to our Fort Wayne facilities could damage some or all of the freight in the facilities. If freight is damaged, we may be liable to our customers for such damage and we may lose sales and customers as a result. Any material damages we must pay to customers, or material loss of sales or customers, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     We have a $10 million business interruption insurance policy to both offset the cost of, and compensate us for, certain events which interrupt our operations. However, the coverage may not be sufficient to compensate us for all potential losses and the conditions to the coverage may preclude us from obtaining reimbursement for some potential losses. While we have attempted to select our level of coverage based upon the most likely potential disasters and events that could interrupt our business, we may not have been able to foresee all the costs and implications of a disaster or other event and, therefore, the coverage may not be sufficient to reimburse us for our

26


Table of Contents

losses or the impact the potential loss of business would have on our future operations. Any material losses for which we are unable to obtain reimbursement may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     Increases in the cost, or a reduction in the availability, of airframe or aircraft engine maintenance may result in increased costs.
     To keep our owned and leased aircraft in airworthy condition, we hire third parties to perform scheduled heavy airframe and aircraft engine maintenance on them. An increase in the cost of airframe or aircraft engine maintenance would increase our maintenance expenses. In addition, a reduction in the availability of airframe or aircraft engine maintenance services could result in delays in getting airframes or aircraft engines serviced and result in increased maintenance expenses and lost revenue. Any increase in maintenance expenses or loss of revenue due to delays in obtaining maintenance services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     Increases in the cost, or decreases in the supply, of aircraft and/or diesel fuel could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     One of our most significant and variable costs is aircraft fuel. Aircraft fuel cost per gallon includes the cost of aircraft fuel and the cost of all taxes, fees and surcharges necessary to deliver the aircraft fuel into the aircraft. The amount of aircraft fuel used in our network depends on the mix of aircraft employed in our network, the amount, origin and destination of freight shipped and the number of days the network is operated during each month. A change in aircraft fuel price will affect our total aircraft fuel expense as these factors fluctuate. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used between 1.5 million and 1.9 million gallons of aircraft fuel per month in our scheduled freight network as compared to between 2.0 million and 2.4 million gallons for the three months ended March 31, 2006. 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 $200,000.
     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.
     With respect to our ground freight services, we operate through a combination of owner operators, company drivers and truck load carriers from whom we contract dedicated trucks. The owner operators and truck load carriers from whom we contract dedicated trucks pass the increased cost of diesel fuel to us through the use of fuel surcharges.
     We periodically increase our prices or implement fuel surcharges. Our goal is to offset all of our increased fuel costs, as our scheduled freight network bears the cost of increases in aircraft and diesel fuel prices. If we are unable due to competitive pressures or other reasons to raise our fuel surcharges or prices, we may be forced to absorb increases in aircraft and/or diesel fuel costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, as we attempt to recapture the increase in aircraft and/or diesel fuel costs through increasing our prices to our customers and/or through temporary fuel surcharges, our customers may seek lower cost freight transportation alternatives to our scheduled freight network, which could negatively affect our results of operation.
     A rise in the 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.
     Additionally, if we were unable to acquire sufficient quantities of aircraft fuel at a price we deem appropriate to fly our aircraft, we would be required to curtail our operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

     Increases in the cost, or decreases in the supply, of ground handling and storage services could significantly disrupt our business.
     We contract with third parties to provide ground handling and storage services at all of the cities we serve, with the exception of Fort Wayne, Indiana; Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colorado; and Salt Lake City, Utah, which are operated by our employees. We also contract with third parties to provide ground transportation at other cities at which we receive and deliver freight at scheduled times. The impact of an increase in the cost or the decrease in the availability of ground handling and storage services could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     The unavailability of aircraft due to unscheduled maintenance, accidents and other events may result in the loss of revenue and customers.
     Our revenues depend on having aircraft available for revenue service. From time to time, we may experience unscheduled maintenance due to equipment failures and accidental damage that makes our aircraft unavailable for revenue service. These problems can be compounded by the fact that spare or replacement parts and components as well as third party maintenance contractors may not be readily available in the marketplace. Failure to obtain necessary parts or components in a timely manner or at favorable prices could ground some of our fleet and result in significantly lower revenues. In the event one or more of our aircraft are out of service for an extended period of time, whether due to unscheduled maintenance, accidents or otherwise, we may be forced to lease replacement aircraft and may be unable to fully operate our business. Further, suitable replacement aircraft may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Loss of revenue from any business interruption or costs to replace airlift could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     The unavailability of trucks, drivers and owner operators, or increases in the cost of trucking services, may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
     Our ground freight services depend on having trucks available for service. We own some of the trucks used to provide our ground freight services. We also have agreements with owner operators and contract for dedicated freight hauling capacity under agreements that are terminable on 30 days notice by either party. Failure to have sufficient owner operators or dedicated freight hauling capacity, at contractually determined prices, could result in significantly lower revenues and could make it difficult for us to offer our ground freight product.
     Financial costs and operating limitations imposed by the unionization of our workforce could create material labor problems for our business.
     The pilots of our cargo airline are represented by ALPA, a national union representing airline pilots. We have a Collective Bargaining Agreement with ALPA. The agreement covers all flight crew members of our cargo airline with respect to compensation, benefits, scheduling, grievances, seniority, and furlough and expires December 1, 2013. On February 9, 2007, we began renegotiations with ALPA as permitted under the Collective Bargaining Agreement on crew member compensation and our matching contributions to our 401(k) plan. Because a settlement was not reached by April 9, 2007, both parties submitted their best and final position to a final offer, or “baseball” style arbitration. We cannot determine if the outcome of the arbitration will have a material adverse effect on our costs or operations.
     Although our Collective Bargaining Agreement with our flight crew members prohibits strikes, labor disputes with them could still result in a material adverse effect on our operations. Further, if additional segments of our workforce become unionized, we may be subject to work interruptions or stoppages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     A failure of our computer systems could significantly disrupt our business.
     We utilize a number of computer systems to schedule flights and personnel, track aircraft and freight, bill customers, pay expenses and monitor a variety of our activities, ranging from maintenance and safety compliance to

financial performance. The failure of the hardware or software that support these computer systems, or the loss of data contained in any of them, could significantly disrupt our operations.
     Aircraft or truck accidents and the resulting repercussions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     We are vulnerable to potential losses that may be incurred in the event of an aircraft or truck accident. Any such accident could involve not only repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft or truck and its consequent temporary or permanent loss from revenue service, but also potential claims involving injury to persons or property. We are required by the Department of Transportation, or DOT, to carry liability insurance on each of our aircraft and trucks. Although we believe our current insurance coverage is adequate and consistent with current industry practice, including our substantial deductibles, we cannot be assured that our coverage or premiums will not be changed or that we will not suffer substantial losses and lost revenues from accidents. Moreover, any aircraft accident, even if fully insured, could result in Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, directives or investigations or could cause a perception that some of our aircraft are less safe or reliable than other aircraft, which could result in costly compliance requirements, the grounding of some of our fleet and the loss of customers. Any accident and the repercussion thereof could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks Relating to Government Regulation
     If we lose our authority to conduct flight operations, we will be unable to run our air freight business.
     We are subject to Title 49 of the United States Code, formerly the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, under which the DOT and the FAA exercise regulatory authority over air carriers. The DOT and the FAA have the authority to modify, amend, suspend or revoke the authority and licenses issued to us for failure to comply with the provisions of law or applicable regulations. In addition, the DOT and the FAA may impose civil or criminal penalties for violations of applicable rules and regulations. In addition, we are subject to regulation by various other federal, state, local and foreign authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security, through the Transportation Security Administration, the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA. In order to maintain authority to conduct flight operations, we must comply with statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any new rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future. Without the necessary authority to conduct flight operations, we will be unable to run our air freight business.
     FAA safety, training and maintenance regulations may hinder our ability to conduct operations or may result in fines or increased costs.
     Virtually every aspect of our cargo airline is subject to extensive regulation by the FAA, including the areas of safety, training and maintenance. To ensure compliance with FAA rules and regulations, the FAA routinely inspects air carrier operations and aircraft and can impose civil monetary penalties in the event of non-compliance. Periodically, the FAA focuses on particular aspects of air carrier operations occasioned as a result of a major incident. These types of inspections and regulations often impose additional burdens on air carriers and increase their operating costs. We cannot predict when we will be subject to such inspections or regulations, nor the impact of such inspections or regulations. Other regulations promulgated by state and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administrations, dealing with the health and safety of our employees, impact our operations.
     In addition, all of our aircraft are subject to FAA directives issued at any time, including directives issued under the FAA’s “Aging Aircraft” program, or directives issued on an ad hoc basis. These directives can cause us to conduct extensive examinations and structural inspections of our aircraft, engines and components and to make modifications to them to address or prevent problems of corrosion, structural fatigue or additional maintenance requirements. In addition, the FAA may mandate installation of additional equipment on our aircraft, the cost of which may be substantial. Apart from these aircraft related regulations, the FAA may adopt regulations involving other aspects of our air carrier operations, such as training, cargo loading, ground facilities and communications. This extensive regulatory framework, coupled with federal, state and local environmental laws, imposes significant compliance burdens and risks that substantially affect our costs.

     Our trucking operations are highly regulated, and increased direct and indirect costs of compliance with, or liability for violation of, existing or future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     The DOT and various state, local and quasi governmental agencies exercise broad powers over our trucking operations, generally governing matters including authorization to engage in motor carrier service, equipment operation and safety reporting. We expect periodic audits by the DOT to ensure that we are in compliance with various safety, hours-of-service and other rules and regulations. In addition, our drivers must comply with the safety and fitness regulations of the DOT, including those relating to drug and alcohol testing and hours-of-service. If we are found to be out of compliance with those rules or regulations, the DOT could restrict or otherwise negatively impact our operations. We also may become subject to new or more restrictive regulations relating to fuel emissions, drivers’ hours-of-service, ergonomics and other matters affecting safety or operating methods. Any fines, remedial actions or compliance costs could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     Effective October 1, 2002, the EPA required that most newly manufactured heavy-duty truck engines comply with certain new emission standards. We are operating 34 trucks with these 2002 rule-compliant engines. In addition to higher initial purchase prices, these trucks also generally have lower fuel efficiency. Effective with model-year 2007 trucks, the EPA has mandated even lower emission standards for newly manufactured heavy-duty truck engines, which may increase the cost and reduce the fuel efficiency of new engines. The increased cost of complying with such regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     If we improperly ship hazardous materials or contraband, we could incur substantial fines or damages.
     Several federal agencies, including the FAA and DOT, exercise regulatory jurisdiction over transporting hazardous materials and contraband. We frequently transport articles that are subject to these regulations. Shippers of hazardous materials share responsibility with the air and ground carrier for compliance with these regulations and are primarily responsible for proper packaging and labeling. Although required to do so, customers may fail to inform us about hazardous or illegal cargo. If we fail to discover any undisclosed weapons, explosives, illegal drugs or other hazardous or illegal cargo or mislabel or otherwise improperly ship hazardous materials, we may suffer possible aircraft or truck damage or liability, as well as fines, penalties or flight bans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial fines or penalties.
     We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations dealing with, among other things, the hauling and handling of hazardous materials, air emissions from our aircraft, vehicles and facilities and noise pollution. Our operations involve the risks of fuel spillage or seepage, environmental damage, and hazardous waste disposal, among others. We may be liable whether or not we are aware of or caused the release of hazardous or toxic substances. In part because of the highly industrialized nature of many of the locations at which we operate, there can be no assurance that we have discovered environmental contamination for which we may be responsible. The costs of defending against claims of liability or remediating contaminated property and the cost of complying with environmental laws could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
     If we are involved in a spill or other accident involving hazardous substances, if there are releases of hazardous substances we transport, or if we are found to be in violation of applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations. If we should fail to comply with applicable environmental regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or penalties and to civil and criminal liability.
     Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration regulations may result in unanticipated costs.
     As a result of the passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, the U.S. Congress created the Transportation Security Administration, or the TSA. By law, the TSA is directed to adopt regulations for the screening of cargo transported on cargo aircraft. The TSA has implemented various regulations involving the

30


Table of Contents

security screening of cargo. At this time, the implementation of these regulations has not materially adversely affected our ability to process cargo or materially increased our operating costs.
     However, the TSA could adopt additional security and screening requirements that could have an impact on the ability to efficiently process cargo or otherwise materially increase our operating costs. The Department of Homeland Security has also taken over many departments and functions that regulate various aspects of our business, such as the U.S. Customs Service, and has formed a Border and Transportation Directorate. The Department of Homeland Security’s management of these combined operations and functions may affect us in ways that cannot be predicted at this time.
     The interests of our principal stockholders may be inconsistent with the interests of our other equity holders and may have an adverse effect on our stock price.
     As of May 11, 2007, our 5% or greater stockholders and their affiliates beneficially owned more than 67.0% of our common stock. These stockholders and their affiliates have substantial influence on and may control the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transactions. These stockholders and their affiliates may also delay or prevent a change of control of our company, even if such a change of control would benefit our other stockholders. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
     Stock ownership by non-U.S. citizens could prevent us from operating our business.
     We believe that some of our stockholders are non-U.S. citizens. Under current federal law, our cargo airline could cease to be eligible to operate as a cargo airline if more than 25% of our voting stock were owned or controlled by non-U.S. citizens. Moreover, in order to hold an air carrier certificate, our president and two-thirds of our directors and officers must be U.S. citizens. All of our directors and officers are U.S. citizens. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, or the Certificate, limits the aggregate voting power of non-U.S. persons to 22.5% of the votes voting on or consenting to any matter, and our second amended and restated bylaws, or the Bylaws, do not permit non-U.S. citizens to serve as directors or officers.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
     The market price for our common stock may be volatile.
     The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others:
    our performance and prospects;
 
    the performance and prospects of our major customers;
 
    the limited depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;
 
    investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
 
    general financial and other market conditions;
 
    the cost and supply of fuel; and
 
    domestic and international economic conditions.
     In recent years, the public stock markets have experienced price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons that may or may not be related to their operating performance. If the public stock markets continue to experience price and trading volume volatility in the future, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, although our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange, due to the low trading price of our common stock, small changes in the price per share could result in a large percentage change in the price per share.

     Other companies may have difficulty acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders.
     Provisions in our Certificate, Bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the terms of our stockholder rights plan and Revolving Facility could make it more difficult for other companies to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. Our Certificate and Bylaws contain the following provisions, among others, which may discourage or prevent another company from acquiring us:
    a limitation on who may call stockholder meetings;
 
    a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent; and
 
    advance notification procedures for matters to be brought before stockholder meetings.
     In addition, we are subject to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law that prohibit us from engaging in a business combination with any “interested stockholder.” These provisions generally mean that a stockholder who owns more than 15% of our voting stock cannot acquire us for a period of three years from the date that the stockholder became an “interested stockholder,” unless various conditions are met, such as approval of the transaction by our board of directors. In addition, the terms of our Revolving Facility contain provisions that restrict our ability to merge or consolidate with a potential acquirer. Finally, we have a stockholder rights plan that limits the ability of a person to acquire 15% or more of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our board of directors, except that the beneficial ownership threshold applicable under the stockholder rights plan to Lloyd I. Miller III and his affiliates is 23.5%. Any of the foregoing could impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer to acquire our common stock, which, under certain circumstances, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
     We do not anticipate paying cash dividends to our common stockholders in the foreseeable future.
     We intend to retain our earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future. Further, covenants contained in our Revolving Facility restrict our ability to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock and in some cases on our shares of our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
     In March 2007, our Board of Directors declared a dividend for the three months ended March 31, 2007 on our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock in the amount of $27.61 for each share of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on March 27, 2007. The Company gave the holders of our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock the option of receiving shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash to settle the dividend. Certain of our 5% or greater stockholders and their affiliates accepted common stock in lieu of cash, and, in April 2007, the Company issued 375,167 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.85 per share to certain of our holders of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, equal to approximately $318,892 in cash. No commissions or underwriting fees were paid in connection with the issuance of these securities. This issuance was made in reliance on exemptions from registration contained in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
