NOTE 6 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
In June of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This statement, which the Company adopted in fiscal 1999,
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of financial statements. For the periods presented,
adjustments to derive comprehensive income were insignificant .
NOTE 7- LITIGATION:
In connection with the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing for Western
Pacific Airlines, Inc. ("WPAI") the Company received a letter, dated August 25,
1999, from the bankruptcy trustee's attorneys making a formal demand for
recovery of alleged preference payments of approximately $11.4 million. This
amount represents cash received for payment of fuel and sales during the 90 days
prior to WPAI's initial bankruptcy filing. The Company believes this claim is
without merit and the entire amount is defensible based on the transaction 1)
having been a substantially contemporaneous exchange for value, 2) being made in
the ordinary course of business, and 3) involving an exchange for new value.
Accordingly, the Company believes it will ultimately prevail and that no
provision is required.
In October, 1999, Mr. Rene Perez, formerly the president of
RPA, notified the Company of certain alleged violations of his employment
contract dated February 28, 1998 between the Company, RPA and Mr. Perez
asserting among other things constructive termination. The Company subsequently
filed a suit seeking declaratory relief regarding the employment contract in
United States District Court for the Northern California (San Francisco) in
November, 1999. The Company subsequently amended, on November 30, 1999, that
suit as a result of its investigation seeking damages against Mr. Perez. Mr.
Perez filed a lawsuit, which was filed in November and served in December, in
the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in Dade County, Florida seeking
damages in excess of the jurisdictional limit. At this time, the Company
believes that no provision is required.

NOTE 8 - SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE/EXTRAORDINARY ITEM:
On September 10, 1999, the Company issued, in a private
placement, $24,000,000 Senior Subordinated 12% Notes ("the Note") due 2006 with
detachable warrants to acquire 503,126 shares of the Company's common stock
exercisable at $6.50 per share for seven years. Proceeds of the Note were used
to redeem the Company's 7 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due February
1, 2006 at 104% of the principal amount plus accrued interest and pay expenses
of the transaction as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Principal balance of debentures redeemed $19,509,000
Redemption premium of 4% 780,000

Proceeds $24,000,000

</TABLE>
As a result of this transaction the Company recorded an
extraordinary charge of $979,000 net of a $625,000 tax benefit in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. The extraordinary charge includes the redemption premium
of $780,000 plus write off of related capitalized fees of $824,000.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998.
Revenue increased by 47.4% to $83.5 million in the current period from $56.7
million a year ago due to an increase in both the price of fuel and volume of
fuel sold. Gross margin increased 10.4% to $8.7 million in the current period
from $7.9 million a year ago due to an increase in gross margins from the cargo
operations.
Revenues from fuel sales and services represented 61.0% of total revenues in the
current period compared to 51.9% of total revenues a year ago. Revenues from
fuel sales and services increased 73.2% to $50.9 million from $29.4 million last
year. The increase in revenues from fuel sales and services was due to an
increase of 31.5% in the volume of fuel sold and an increase of 41.5% in the
price of fuel. Gross margin from fuel sales and service decreased by 38.6% to
$1.5 million in the current period from $2.4 million last year due to a loss of
$626,000 from RPA in the current period compared with gross margin of $522,000 a
year ago. Revenues and operating income from fuel sales and services include the
activities of Mercury's contract fueling business as well as revenues from RPA,
its airline information software company. Revenue from RPA was $818,000 in the
current period compared with $2.5 million a year ago. In January 2000, the
Company appointed a new Chief Executive Officer of RPA.
Revenues from FBOs increased by 32.9% in the current period to $17.7 million
from $13.3 million a year ago due to the addition of Tulsa, Charleston and
John's Island locations and higher fuel prices in the period. Gross margin
decreased 6.5% in the current period to $2.7 million from $2.9 million last
year. The decrease was attributable to an increase in the price of fuel, all of
which was not passed on to customers, and higher operating expenses at Burbank
since opening its new facility in February 1999.
Revenues from cargo operations in the current period increased 16.6% to $9.0
million from $7.7 million a year ago. This increase was due to an increase in
space brokerage and cargo handling revenues. Gross margin from cargo operations
in the current period increased 140.2% to $3.4 million from $1.4 million in the
year ago period primarily due to increased space brokerage, higher cargo
handling revenues and elimination of losses at the Miami cargo location, which
was sold in fiscal 1999.
Revenues from government contract services decreased 5.3% in the current period
to $5.9 million from $6.2 million in the year ago period. The decrease in
revenues from government contract services was due primarily to a reduction in
the number of Weather Data contracts. Gross margin from government contract
services was approximately $1.2 million in each period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period increased
13.2% to $1.8 million from $1.6 million in last year's period due primarily to
higher compensation expense and professional fees.
Provision for bad debts increased 26.2% in the current period to $569,000 from
$451,000 in the year ago period due to higher sales in the current period and
greater exposure due to significantly higher fuel prices.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 29.2% in the current period to
$2.4 million from $ 1.9 million a year ago primarily due to the Burbank FBO
expansion during fiscal 1999, acquisitions of Jackson and Charleston FBO's in
fiscal 1999, acquisition of Tulsa FBO in October 1999 and various capital
expenditures.
Interest expense increased 48.4% in the current period to $1.5 million from $1.0
million a year ago due to higher interest rates and higher average outstanding
borrowings.
Income tax expense approximated 39.0% of pre-tax income in each period
reflecting the expected effective annual income tax rate.
In last year's three month period, extraordinary item of $34,000 consists of a
charge of $56,000 related to the cost of repurchasing convertible subordinated
debentures in excess of par value and related bond issuance costs, net of a tax
benefit of $22,000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998.
Revenues increased 44.8% to $158.2 million in the current period from $109.3
million a year ago. Gross margin increased 14.9% to $17.9 million in the current
period from $15.6 million a year ago due to an increase in gross margin from
cargo operations and were partially offset by lower gross margins from fuel
sales and services and FBO's.
Revenues from fuel sales and services represented 60.0% of total revenues in the
current period compared to 52.3% of total revenue a year ago. Revenues from fuel
sales and services increased 66.4% to $95.0 million from $57.1 million last
year. The increase in revenues from fuel sales and services was due to an
increase of 58% in the price of fuel and an increase of 10.5% in the volume of
fuel sold. Gross margin from fuel sales and services decreased 19.3% in the
current period to $3.5 million from $4.3 million a year ago. The decrease in
gross margin from fuel sales and services was due to a loss from RPA of $0.9
million in the current period compared to gross margin of $0.6 million last
year, due to lower revenues. Revenue from RPA was $1.9 million in the current
six month period compared to $3.7 million last year.
Revenue from FBOs increased 23.6% in the current period to $32.9 million from
$26.6 million a year ago due to higher fuel prices and the addition of Jackson
and Charleston in fiscal 1999 and Tulsa in October 1999. Gross margin decreased
10.1% to $5.4 million from $6.1 million in the year ago period due primarily to
an increase in the price of fuel , all of which was not passed on to customers,
resulting in lower per gallon margins.
Revenues from cargo operations in the current period increased 29.3% to $17.4
million from $13.4 million a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in space brokerage and cargo handling revenues. Gross margin from cargo
operations in the current period increased 140.4% to $6.3 million from $2.6
million in the year ago period primarily due to increased space brokerage,
higher cargo handling revenues and elimination of losses in its Miami cargo
handling operation which was sold in fiscal 1999.
Revenues from government contract services in the current period increased 6.5%
to $12.9 million from $12.1 million in the year ago period. The increase in
revenues from government contract services in the current period compared to
last year was primarily due to the addition of the Weather Data contracts as of
August 1, 1998. Gross margin from government contract services in the current
period increased 3.0% to $2.7 million from $2.6 million last year due to higher
revenues.
Selling general and administrative expenses in the current period increased 9.4%
to $3.7 million from $3.4 million in the year ago period. The increase was
primarily due to higher compensation expense and higher professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the current period increased 29.0% to
$4.8 million from $3.7 million a year ago. The increase in the current period is
primarily related to the Burbank FBO expansion during fiscal 1999, acquisitions
of Jackson and Charleston FBO's in fiscal 1999, acquisition of Tulsa FBO in
October 1999 and various capital expenditures.
Interest expense increased 38.1% in the current six months to $2.8 million from
$2.0 million a year ago due to higher interest rates and higher average
outstanding borrowings.
Income tax expense approximated 39.0% of pretax income in both periods
reflecting the expected effective annual tax rate.
Extraordinary item of $979,000 in the current six months consisted of charges
associated with the redemption of the company's 7 3/4% convertible subordinated
debentures in September 1999. The charge includes a $780,000 redemption premium
plus write off of capitalized fees of $824,000, less a tax benefit of $625,000.
12
<PAGE> 13
In last years six month period, extraordinary item of $187,000 consists of a
charge of $307,000 related to the cost of repurchasing convertible subordinated
debentures in excess of par value and related bond issuance costs, net of a tax
benefit of $120,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Mercury has historically financed its operations primarily through operating
cash flow, bank debt and various public and private placements of bonds and
subordinated debt. Mercury's cash balance at December 31, 1999 totaled
$2,225,000.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $6,222,000 during the six
month period ended December 31, 1999. During this period, the primary sources of
net cash provided by operating activities was net income and depreciation and
amortization totalling $7,344,000 and increase in accounts payable of
$10,561,000. The primary use of cash from operating activities was an increase
in accounts receivable of $10,956,000. Accounts receivable at December 31, 1999
increased to $60,162,000 from $50,134,000 at June 30, 1999 due to significantly
higher sales in the current six month period. Days sales outstanding were
approximately 65 at December 31, 1999 versus approximately 74 at June 30, 1999.
Net cash used in investing activities was $8,424,000 during the current six
month period. The primary use of cash from investing activities included
additions to property, equipment and leaseholds of $4,417,000, acquisition of
businesses of $3,100,000 and addition to other assets of $1,823,000.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $370,000 during the current six
month period. The primary use of cash from financing activities in the current
six month period was the reduction in convertible subordinated debentures of
$19,534,000, reduction of long term debt totaling $6,722,000 and repurchase of
common stock totalling $1,456,000. The primary source of cash from financing
activities was proceeds from senior subordinated note of $24,000,000 and
proceeds from long-term debt of $3,288,000.
The Company's Senior secured bank credit facility consists of a $40,000,000
Revolver, a term loan with an outstanding balance of $22,000,000 at December 31,
1999 and a $15,000,000 acquisition facility with an outstanding balance of
$2,898,000 at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, there was $3,000,000
outstanding under the Revolver and $19.0 million in letters of credit issued.
Principal installments are due quarterly on the term loan over a five year
period maturing in March 2004. Balances owed under the Revolver and acquisition
facility are due in March 2004.
On September 10, 1999, the Company redeemed $19,509,000 principal balance of
convertible subordinated debentures plus a redemption premium of 4% totalling
$780,000. Financing of the redemption was accomplished by issuing a $24,000,000
Senior Subordinate Note due in September 2006. The Note pays interest quarterly
at the per annum rate of 12%. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 503,126 shares of common stock exerciseable
at $6.50 per share.
Absent a major prolonged surge in oil prices or a capital intensive acquisition,
the Company believes its operating cash flow, revolver, vendor credit and cash
balance will provide it with sufficient liquidity during the next twelve months.
In the event that fuel prices increase significantly for an extended period of
time, the Company's liquidity could be adversely affected unless the Company is
able to increase vendor credit or increase lending limits under its revolving
credit facility. The Company believes, however, its revolver and vendor credit
should provide it with sufficient liquidity in the event of a major temporary
surge in oil prices. Since June 1999, fuel prices rose approximately 30% through
December 31, 1999 and have subsequently risen higher. Significantly higher fuel
prices for an extended period of time have a negative impact on the aviation
industry as it increases the airlines operating expenses. Smaller, less well
capitalized airlines may be more seriously impacted. As a result, Mercury has
increased its charge to bad debt expense in this quarter to $569,000 from
$359,000 in the September 1999 quarter. Future periods may also be impacted as
the allowance for bad debt requirement may increase due to higher sales based on
higher fuel prices and will depend upon actual experience. The Company has a
note receivable
13
<PAGE> 14
of approximately $850,000 from a former fuel customer, Saeta, an Ecuadorian
Airline. Due to political and financial crisis in Ecuador, Saeta has defaulted
on its January 1, 2000 payment obligation of approximately $48,000. While they
have requested another ninety days, the Company has initiated legal action and
has obtained a default judgement against individual guarantors in the U.S. and
is proceeding against Saeta in Ecuador. While no assurance can be given, the
Company believes the note will ultimately be collected. Bad debt reserves will
include an assessment of the Saeta note in future periods.
The Company has the following significant contracts or commitments for the
purchase of equipment or installation of facilities. On October 22, 1999, the
Company acquired certain assets of an FBO in Tulsa, Oklahoma for $2.4 million
cash funded from its acquisition line. In a second step to this transaction, the
Company will acquire the leasehold and buildings for $3.8 million within
eighteen months of the first closing. The Company expects to fund this from its
acquisition line. The Company began construction of a 30,000 square foot hangar
at its Bedford Massachusetts FBO in this fiscal period at an estimated cost of
$3.8 million. Approximately $450,000 has been spent to date and is being funded
under the company's acquisition line.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
During the past two years the Company established a year 2000 compliance plan
which involved information technology, facilities and equipment and major
suppliers.
The Company's year 2000 compliance efforts included assessment of at risk
systems and technology as well as remediation and testing of affected systems.
Remediation and testing of all systems and technology used by the Company was
completed in November 1999. We are not aware of any adverse effects of year 2000
issues on the Company, including its systems and operations.
Additionally, the Company's major suppliers and third parties were included in a
year 2000 survey which was completed in December 1999. We have no information
that indicated that a significant vendor may be unable to sell to the Company; a
significant customer or client may be unable to purchase from the Company, or a
significant service provider may be unable to provide services to the Company,
in each case because of year 2000 compliance problems.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company has incurred approximately $100,000 on
reprogramming and software and hardware upgrades relating to year 2000
remediation. As of February 2, 2000, the Company has not experienced any
significant disruptions due to year 2000, although we can not predict whether
disruptions will be experience in the future.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In October, 1999, Mr. Rene Perez, formerly the president of
RPA, notified the Company of certain alleged violations of his employment
contract dated February 28, 1998 between the Company, RPA and Mr. Perez
asserting among other things constructive termination. The Company subsequently
filed a suit seeking declaratory relief regarding the employment contract in
United States District Court for the Northern California (San Francisco) in
November, 1999. The Company subsequently amended, on November 30, 1999, that
