KITTY HAWK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 1997, are unaudited
(except for the December 31, 1997 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 generally
accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. ACQUISITION OF THE KALITTA COMPANIES
On November 19, 1997, the Company acquired by merger all of the outstanding
common stock of American International Airways, Inc. ("AIA"), including a 60%
interest in American International Cargo ("AIC"), Kalitta Flying Service, Inc.
("KFS"), Flight One Logistics, Inc. ("FOL"), O.K. Turbines, Inc. ("OKT") and
American International Travel, Inc. ("AIT") (collectively, the "Kalitta
Companies") in exchange for 4,099,150 shares of the Company's common stock
(valued by an independent appraisal at approximately $60.3 million) and $20
million in cash. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase.
Concurrently with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company closed a
3,000,000 share common stock offering and a $340 million senior secured note
offering. Of the 3,000,000 shares sold in the common stock offering, the Company
sold 2,200,000 shares and certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling
Stockholders") sold 800,000 shares. Net proceeds to the Company from the common
stock offering were approximately $38.3 million. The Company did not receive any
of the net proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders.
3. ACQUISITION OF LONGHORN SOLUTIONS, INC.
During June 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Longhorn
Solutions, Inc. ("LSI") in exchange for 150,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, valued at $15 per share, which approximated market value at the date of
acquisition. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. LSI has developed
and markets an aircraft maintenance software package.
4. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, both
asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While
the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does
not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
("SFAS 130") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS
131"), both effective for years beginning
7
<PAGE> 8
after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial
statements. During the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 1998,
the Company's comprehensive income was equal to net income. SFAS 131 establishes
standards for the manner that public business enterprises report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports. Management has not completed its review of SFAS 131 and,
therefore, has not yet determined the impact, if any, this statement will have
on the Company's financial disclosures.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value. The Company is assessing the impact that the adoption
of SFAS 133 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
per share:

</TABLE>
7. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company has a $45 million outstanding balance on a revolving credit
facility ("the Credit Facility") and a $45.9 million outstanding term loan with
Wells Fargo Bank ("WFB") which are governed by a Credit Agreement ("the Credit
Agreement"). The balances outstanding under the Credit Agreement are subject to
certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 1998, the Company was not in
compliance with three financial covenants and has received a waiver from WFB.
The Company and WFB are in the process of renegotiating these financial
covenants and amending the Credit Agreement to provide greater current capacity
in the Credit Facility. Management believes that the Credit Agreement will be
amended and the financial covenants will be revised during the fourth quarter
of 1998. Accordingly, the balances outstanding under the Credit Agreement
remain classified as long-term liabilities as of September 30, 1998.
8. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
In November 1997, the Company sold $340 million of 9.95% Senior Secured
Notes due 2004 (the "Notes"). Each of the Company's subsidiaries, with the
exception of AIC, (collectively, the "Guarantors") have fully and
unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") on a
senior basis, the full and prompt performance of the Company's obligations under
the Notes. The Guarantees are limited to the largest amount that would not
render such Guarantees subject to avoidance under any applicable federal or
state fraudulent conveyance or similar law. The Guarantees rank senior in right
of payment to any subordinated indebtedness and, except with respect to
collateral, pari passu with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness
of the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Supplemental financial information is presented as of September 30, 1998 and
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998. The Company has
not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
Guarantors because the Company's management has determined that such information
is not material to investors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Acquisition of the Kalitta Companies. On November 19, 1997, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of American International Airways,
Inc., including a 60% interest in American International Cargo ("AIC"), Kalitta
Flying Service, Inc., Flight One Logistics, Inc., O.K. Turbines, Inc. and
American International Travel, Inc. (collectively, the "Kalitta Companies"). The
results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1998 include the results of operations of the Kalitta Companies. The pro forma
results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1997 include the results of the Kalitta Companies as if they had been acquired
as of January 1, 1997. The historical results of operations for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1997 do not include the results of
operations of the Kalitta Companies.
Revenues. The Company's revenues are derived from three related businesses:
(i) air freight carrier, (ii) air logistics and (iii) maintenance. Air freight
carrier revenues are derived substantially from aircraft, crew, maintenance, and
insurance ("ACMI") contracts and on-demand charters flown with the Company's
aircraft. In addition, revenues from the Company's scheduled overnight freight
service and passenger charter services are also included in air freight carrier
revenues. Air logistics revenues are derived substantially from on-demand air
freight charters arranged by the Company for its customers utilizing the flight
services of third party air freight carriers. With respect to on-demand charters
that are arranged by the Company and flown with its aircraft, charges to the
customer for air transportation are accounted for as air freight carrier
revenues and charges for ground handling and transportation are accounted for as
air logistics revenues. Maintenance revenues are generated through maintenance
performed on engines, airframes and other accessories owned by third parties.
The principal factors that have contributed to revenue growth over the past
several years have been (i) increases in the Company's fleet through purchases
of aircraft and the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies in November 1997, (ii)
the general U.S. economic expansion and (iii) increased global demand for time
sensitive air freight services.
Costs of Revenues. The principal components of the costs of revenues
attributable to the air freight carrier business consist of the costs for the
maintenance and operation of aircraft, including the salaries of pilots and
maintenance personnel, charges for fuel, insurance and maintenance and
depreciation of engines and airframes. Generally, charges for fuel are only
applicable for the on-demand charters flown by the air freight carrier because
fuel for ACMI contract charters is generally provided by the customer or billed
to the customer on a direct pass-through basis, although the Company bears the
cost of fuel in its scheduled freight operations. The principal components of
the costs of revenues attributable to air logistics consist of sub-charter costs
paid to third party air freight carriers and costs paid for ground handling and
transportation. With respect to on-demand charters that are flown on the
Company's aircraft, all related air transportation expenses are allocated to the
air freight carrier business and all related cargo ground handling and
transportation expenses are allocated to the air logistics business. The
principal components of the costs of revenues for maintenance consist of
maintenance personnel salaries and aircraft and engine parts and supplies.
The Company's gross margins have been substantially higher in its air
freight carrier business (which uses Company aircraft) than in its air logistics
business (which principally uses third party aircraft). In addition, the air
freight carrier business historically has provided a more predictable revenue
base. Accordingly, the Company is continuing to shift its aircraft from
on-demand service to ACMI contracts.
Pro Forma Results of Operations. The following sets forth the unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, giving effect to (i) the November 1997 acquisition of
the Kalitta Companies, (ii) the issuance of the Company's 9.95% Senior Secured
Notes due 2004 (the "Notes"), (iii) the incurrence of a $45.9 million term loan
and (iv) the September 1997 acquisition of 16 Boeing 727s from the Kalitta
Companies, each as if they occurred on January 1, 1997. This information is
presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to present the
results of operations of the Company had these transactions occurred on the
dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the consolidated results
of operations which may be expected to occur in the future.
13
<PAGE> 14
No pro forma adjustments have been applied to reflect (i) revenues or
operating costs expected to be generated from two Boeing 747s which were
purchased in February 1998 and modified with approximately $56 million of the
net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and other internally generated funds or
(ii) operating efficiencies or cost savings (other than approximately $1.5
million of insurance savings) resulting from the acquisition of the Kalitta
Companies. In addition, pro forma results have not been adjusted to eliminate
(i) abnormally high engine maintenance expenses previously incurred in response
to certain Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") Airworthiness Directives
("Directives"), (ii) costs previously incurred to add and maintain flight crews
in anticipation of increased air freight carrier business which had not yet
materialized in part due to delays in acquiring aircraft and (iii) start-up
costs previously incurred to establish the Company's wide-body passenger charter
business.

Due to the impact the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies and related
transactions have had on the financial statements and results of operations of
the Company, management has determined that the historical results of operations
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 lack meaningful
comparibility to the results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1998. As a result, the Company has provided a comparison of the
pro forma quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 to the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, which the Company believes provides the
most relevant and useful information to investors. Other than the information
provided above, no further comparison of the historical results of operations
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 to the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 is provided herein.
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
Revenues - Air Freight Carrier. Air freight carrier revenues increased $6.5
million, or 4.7%, to $145.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
from $138.6 million in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the jet aircraft fleet
from 74 aircraft at September 30, 1997 to 77 aircraft at September 30, 1998
which permitted an increase in ACMI contract charters. Air freight carrier
on-demand charters, ACMI contract charters and scheduled operations revenues
were $18.9 million, $82.1 million and $43.8 million, or 13%, 56.6% and 30.2%,
respectively, of total air freight carrier revenues for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to $20.9 million, $72.8 million and $43.9
million, or 15.1%, 52.6% and 31.7%, respectively, for the pro forma quarter
ended September 30, 1997. Revenues from on-demand charters flown by Company
aircraft for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 decreased 9.9% from the pro
forma prior year period due to aircraft being shifted from on-demand to ACMI
contract charter service, consistent with the Company's strategy of using more
of its fleet in ACMI business which produces relatively stable revenues. Revenue
from the Company's scheduled operations remained flat for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the pro forma quarter ended September 30,
1997. The Company has also implemented selective price increases for its ACMI
contract charters and for its scheduled freight services.
Revenues - Air Logistics. Air logistics revenues increased $5 million, or
27%, to $23.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from $18.6
million for the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. The number of trips
managed increased from 4,000 in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997
to 4,290 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. While prices for the
Company's air logistics services remained relatively constant, there has been a
bias towards charters for larger aircraft which increases the average revenue
per charter
Revenues - Maintenance and Other. Maintenance and other revenues decreased
$2.5 million, or 28.1%, to $6.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
from $8.8 million in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. This
decrease was primarily due to the Company focusing its efforts on performing
maintenance on its own fleet and limiting third party maintenance work.
Costs of Revenues - Air Freight Carrier. Air freight carrier costs of
revenues increased $12.6 million, or 11.4%, to $123 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, from $110.5 million in the pro forma quarter ended September
30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to higher flight operations and
maintenance costs as well as the increased fleet size and completing deferred
maintenance to increase fleet reliability. The gross profit margin from the air
freight carrier decreased to 15.2% in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, from
a gross margin of 20.3% in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. This
decrease in gross margin was a result of the increased maintenance costs
incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the pro
forma quarter ended September 30, 1997 which were partially offset by lower
average fuel prices applicable to on-demand and scheduled freight service in the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1997.
Costs of Revenues - Air Logistics. Air logistics costs of revenues increased
$4.6 million, or 26.5%, to $21.8 million in the quarter ended September 30,
1998, from $17.2 million in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. The
gross profit margin from air logistics increased to 8.0% in the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 from 7.7% in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997.
The increase in gross margin is a result of directing a larger percentage of
on-demand charters to the Company's aircraft (including aircraft acquired from
the Kalitta Companies) rather than to third party aircraft, which results in a
higher gross margin to the Company.

Costs of Revenues - Maintenance and Other. Maintenance and other costs of
revenues decreased $2.1 million, or 30.8%, to $4.9 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, from $7 million in the pro forma quarter ended September 30,
1997, reflecting an decrease in third party maintenance revenues. The gross
profit margin from maintenance increased to 23.2% in the quarter ended September
30, 1998 from 20.1% in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997 as a
result of greater cost efficiencies from third party maintenance.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $0.4 million, or 4%, to $10.6 million in the quarter ended September
30, 1998, from $10.2 million in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in support functions and
administrative costs associated with the growth in the aircraft fleet and the
increased volume of business of the air freight carrier in the quarter ended
September 30, 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased slightly to 6% in the quarter ended September
30, 1998, as compared to 6.1% for the pro forma quarter ended September 30,
1997.
Operating Income. As a result of the above, operating income decreased $6.2
million to $14.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, from $20.7
million in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. Operating income
margin decreased to 8.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, from 12.4% in
the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income
taxes decreased to 38% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, as compared to
40% for the pro forma prior year period. This was due primarily to a reduction
of state income taxes resulting from a re-evaluation of certain state
apportionment factors.
Net Income. As a result of the above, the Company's net income decreased to
$2.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, compared to $4.9 million
in the pro forma quarter ended September 30, 1997. Net income as a percentage of
total revenues decreased to 1.5% in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, from
2.9% in the pro forma prior year period.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
Revenues - Air Freight Carrier. Air freight carrier revenues increased $48.1
million, or 13.6%, to $400.7 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1998, from $352.6 million in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the jet aircraft
fleet from 74 aircraft at September 30, 1997 to 77 aircraft at September 30,
1998 which permitted an increase in ACMI contract charters. Air freight carrier
on-demand charters, ACMI contract charters and scheduled operations revenues
were $48.6 million, $230.1 million and $120.5 million, or 12.1%, 57.4% and
30.1%, respectively, of total air freight carrier revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $60 million, $169.4 million and $120.7
million, or 17%, 48% and 34.2%, respectively, for the pro forma nine months
ended September 30, 1997. Revenues from on-demand charters flown by Company
aircraft for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased 19% from the pro
forma prior year period due to aircraft being shifted from on-demand to ACMI
contract charter service, consistent with the Company's strategy of using more
of its fleet in ACMI business which produces relatively stable revenues. Revenue
from the Company's scheduled operations remained flat for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the pro forma nine months ended September 30,
1997. The Company has also implemented selective price increases for its ACMI
contract charters and scheduled operations.
Revenues - Air Logistics. Air logistics revenues increased $6.7 million, or
14.7%, to $52.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from $45.9
million in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was
primarily due to increased demand for charters that require large aircraft,
which generate greater revenues. The number of trips managed decreased slightly
from 10,640 in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997 to 10,363 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Prices for the Company's air logistics
services remained relatively constant.
Revenues - Maintenance and Other. Maintenance and other revenues increased
$1.7 million, or 7.2% to $25 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1998, from $23.3 million in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily due to increased third party engine maintenance
revenue and to additional revenues from heavy maintenance performed for a third
party.

<PAGE> 18
Costs of Revenues - Air Freight Carrier. Air freight carrier costs of
revenues increased $31.5 million, or 10.1%, to $343.5 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, from $312.1 million in the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to increased fleet size and
operating additional ACMI contract charters. The gross profit margin from the
air freight carrier increased to 14.3% in the nine months ended September 30,
1998, from a gross margin of 11.5% in the pro forma nine months ended September
30, 1997. This increase in gross margin was a primarily a result of lower
average fuel prices applicable to on-demand and scheduled freight service in the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.
Costs of Revenues - Air Logistics. Air logistics costs of revenues increased
$5 million, or 11.8%, to $47 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1998, from $42 million in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997,
reflecting an increased volume of business. The gross profit margin from air
logistics increased to 10.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from
8.4% in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in
gross margin is a result of directing a larger percentage of on-demand charters
to the Company's aircraft (including aircraft acquired from the Kalitta
Companies) rather than to third party aircraft, which results in a higher gross
margin to the Company.
Costs of Revenues - Maintenance and Other. Maintenance and other costs of
revenues increased $1.2 million, or 7.1% to $18.5 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, from $17.2 million in the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1997, reflecting an increase in third party maintenance. The gross
profit margin from maintenance remained flat at approximately 26% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and the pro forma nine months ended September
30, 1997.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $2.8 million, or 10.2%, to $29.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, from $27 million in the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to an increase in support
functions and administrative costs associated with the growth in the aircraft
fleet and the increased volume of business of the air freight carrier in the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, general
and administrative expenses decreased to 6.2% in the nine months ended September
30, 1998, as compared to 6.4% for the pro forma nine months ended September 30,
1997.
Operating Income. As a result of the above, operating income increased $16.3
million to $38.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from $22.2
million in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997. Operating income
margin increased to 8.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from 5.3%
in the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income
taxes increased to 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared
to an income tax benefit of 36% for the pro forma prior year period. The
increase was primarily due to the pro forma results not reflecting the full tax
benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards of the Kalitta Companies due to
the uncertainty of the Kalitta Companies' future ability to realize such net
operating loss carry forwards prior to the Company's acquisition of the Kalitta
Companies.
Net Income. As a result of the above, the Company's reported net income
increased to $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as
compared to a net loss of $6 million in the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1997. Net income as a percentage of total revenues increased to
1.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from a loss margin of 1.4% in
the pro forma prior year period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capital requirements are primarily for the acquisition and
modification of aircraft, working capital and the expansion and improvement of
maintenance and support facilities. In addition, the Company has, and will
continue to have, capital requirements for the requisite periodic and major
overhaul maintenance checks for its fleet and for debt service. The Company also
has seasonal working capital needs, because it generates higher revenue and cash
flow in the fourth calendar quarter and lower revenue and cash flow in the first
calendar quarter.
18
<PAGE> 19
The Company's cash requirements for maintenance and working capital
(particularly its seasonal requirements) have increased substantially due to the
acquisition of the Kalitta Companies. Funding requirements have historically
been met through internally generated funds, bank borrowings and aircraft sales
and from public and private offerings of equity and debt securities. From time
to time, the Company has entered into sale/leaseback transactions to acquire
aircraft and may do so in the future.
In connection with the acquisition of the Kalitta Companies, the Company
sold 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company
of approximately $38.3 million. In addition, the Company issued the Notes,
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $329.1 million. Of the
approximately $367.4 million of net proceeds, the Company used approximately
$249.8 million to pay off substantially all of the Kalitta Companies'
pre-acquisition indebtedness, $33 million to refinance Kitty Hawk's
indebtedness, $39.6 million to acquire two Boeing 747s, $20 million to pay the
cash portion of the consideration for the Kalitta Companies, $16.4 million to
fund a portion of the costs to modify two Boeing 747s from passenger to cargo
configuration, $6 million for working capital purposes and $2.6 million to pay
expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, a new credit facility and
a new term loan.
The Notes provide for semi-annual interest payments of approximately $16.9
million on each May 15 and November 15 and mature in November 2004. The Notes
are secured by a fleet of 30 aircraft, including nine Boeing 747s, eight
Lockheed L-1011s and thirteen Boeing 727s. The Notes are guaranteed by all of
the Company's subsidiaries, other than AIC.
The Company has a $45.9 million outstanding Term Loan. The Term Loan is due
in quarterly installments of $2.25 million commencing in March 1999, with the
balance of $12.15 million due upon maturity in September 2002. Interest on the
Term Loan accrues at LIBOR plus 3% or a Base Rate plus 1.5%, subject to
reduction. The Base Rate is the higher of the Prime Rate of Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. ("WFB") or the Federal Funds Rate plus .5%. As of September 30, 1998, the
interest rate was 8.19%. The Term Loan is secured by accounts receivable, all
spare parts (including rotables), inventory, intangibles and contract rights,
cash, 16 Boeing 727s and related engines, and the stock of each of the Company's
subsidiaries, not including the Company's 60% interest in AIC. The Term Loan is
guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries, other than AIC.
In addition, to fund ongoing capital requirements, including possible
acquisitions, the Company has entered into a Credit Facility with WFB,
individually and as agent for various lenders. The Credit Facility provides the
Company with up to $100 million in revolving loans (subject to a current
borrowing base limitation of approximately $67.7 million) and is secured by the
same collateral as the Term Loan. The Credit Facility initially bears interest
at LIBOR plus 2.75% or a Base Rate plus 1.25%, subject to adjustment. The Base
Rate is the higher of WFB's Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .5%.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to borrowing base limitations
based on eligible inventory and accounts receivable. The Credit Facility matures
in November 2002. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had a balance of $41
million outstanding under the Credit Facility bearing interest at 9.5% and
available borrowings under the Credit Facility of approximately $21.4 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan are subject to certain
financial covenants. As of September 30, 1998, the Company was not in compliance
with three financial covenants of the Credit Facility and has received a waiver
from WFB. The Company and WFB are in the process of renegotiating these
financial covenants and amending the credit agreement to provide greater current
capacity in the Credit Facility. Management believes that the Credit Facility
will be amended and the financial covenants will be revised during the fourth
quarter of 1998. Accordingly, the balances outstanding under the Credit Facility
remain classified as long-term liabilities as of September 30, 1998.
Capital expenditures were $161.9 million and $99.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Capital expenditures for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were primarily for (i) the purchase of
two Boeing 747s, (ii) cargo modifications to two Boeing 747s acquired in 1998
and one acquired in late 1997 and one Boeing 727, (iii) heavy maintenance checks
on three Boeing 727s, (iv) noise abatement modifications for ten Boeing 727s and
one DC-9-15F aircraft, (v) purchase of 6 JT8D engines, three JT9D engines, one
JT3D engine and five GE CJ 610-6 engines, (vi) engine overhauls, (vii)
improvements to new office space at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and
(viii) the purchase of rotable aircraft parts. Capital expenditures for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 were primarily for (i) the purchase of eighteen
Boeing 727 aircraft, (ii) cargo and noise abatement modifications for two Boeing
727 aircraft and one DC9-15F aircraft, (iii) the purchase of ten reconditioned
JT8D jet engines, (iv) leasehold improvements to Boeing 727-200 aircraft, (v)
the lease of the Company's 40,000 square foot headquarters facility, (vi) major
maintenance checks, (vii) the purchase of ground service equipment, and (viii)
the overhaul of several JT8D-7 engines.
19
<PAGE> 20
During the remainder of 1998, the Company estimates that capital
expenditures will aggregate approximately $36.6 million and that it will make
substantial capital expenditures thereafter. The Company has acquired two Boeing
747s for approximately $39.6 million (net of deposits) and began modifying these
aircraft to cargo configuration and having other work performed at an aggregate
cost of approximately $33.8 million, of which $22.6 million has been spent as of
September 30, 1998. The acquisition of the Boeing 747s was funded with
approximately $39.6 million of the net proceeds from the Company's November 1997
Note offering. The cargo conversions are being funded with approximately $16.4
million of the net proceeds from the Note offering and approximately $17.4
million of internally generated funds or borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The Company took delivery of one of the Boeing 747s during September 1998 and
placed it into revenue service in October 1998. The remaining Boeing 747 in
conversion at The Boeing Company is expected to be placed into revenue service
in December 1998. Additionally, during July 1998 the Company completed the
conversion of one Boeing 747 aircraft and one Boeing 727 aircraft from passenger
to freighter configuration at costs of approximately $14.8 and $3.7 million,
respectively, including noise abatement modifications for the Boeing 727.
During the remainder of 1998, the Company anticipates capital expenditures
of approximately $1.4 million for noise abatement modifications to one Boeing
727 aircraft currently owned. To bring the remainder of the Company's existing
fleet of owned and leased aircraft into Stage III noise control compliance by
the year 2000, the Company estimates that total capital expenditures of
approximately $20 million would be required. The entire fleet must be Stage III
compliant by the year 2000. In the event more aircraft are acquired, anticipated
capital expenditures for noise abatement modifications could materially
increase. These estimates do not include 13 Douglas DC-8 aircraft which the
Company does not currently expect to modify because the anticipated cost of
approximately $3.5 million per aircraft (not including aircraft downtime)
exceeds the economic benefits of such modifications. The Company expects to
replace up to 13 of these Douglas DC-8-50 and DC-8-60 series aircraft in 1999
with Boeing 727 freighters it intends to acquire through operating leases which
fund the costs of freighter conversions, transition maintenance and noise
abatement modifications. The Company is currently negotiating such a program and
believes sufficient and satisfactory aircraft are or will be available for such
a program. Three Boeing 727 aircraft acquired through leases and placed into
revenue service during August 1998 currently operate under assigned contracts
through early 1999 and then become available to satisfy the Company's Douglas
DC-8 replacement requirements.
All of the Company's aircraft are subject to Service Bulletins and
Directives issued under the FAA's "Aging Aircraft" program or issued on an ad
hoc basis. These Service Bulletins and Directives could cause certain of these
aircraft to be subject to extensive aircraft examinations and require certain of
these aircraft to undergo structural inspections and modifications to address
problems of corrosion, structural fatigue, or other issues at specified times.
It is possible that additional Service Bulletins or Directives applicable to the
types of aircraft included in the Company's fleet could be issued in the future
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The cost of
compliance with such Service Bulletins and Directives cannot currently be
estimated, but could be substantial.
The Company operates a fleet of 32 Boeing 727s, all of which were previously
converted from passenger configuration to cargo configuration by the
installation of a large cargo door and numerous interior modifications related
to the installation of cargo container handling systems. The FAA has issued a
proposed Directive, which if adopted, would limit the cargo capacity of 31 of
these Boeing 727s until certain modifications are made. The costs to make such
modifications and the amount of revenue that could be lost cannot currently be
estimated. However, the Company believes this Directive will not have a material
adverse effect of the Company.
In late July 1998, the FAA approved the cargo conversion of a Boeing 747-200
aircraft (the "Modified Aircraft") that American International Airways, Inc.
("AIA") purchased from Middle East Airlines ("MEA") in September 1997 and
modified to cargo configuration at AIA's Oscoda, Michigan maintenance facility.
The FAA, however, limited the maximum payload of the Modified Aircraft to
200,000 pounds rather than the 240,000-pound maximum payload that the Company
anticipated because the FAA determined that the wingbox structure of the
Modified Aircraft required changes that were not included in the Supplemental
Type Certificate used by AIA in the conversion process. The payload limit may
decrease the hourly revenue rate for the Modified Aircraft by as much as 6% from
the amount previously anticipated by the Company. The FAA also has recently
asked whether the Company would voluntarily reduce the maximum payload of two
other Boeing 747-200s that AIA had earlier converted, which appear to have a
similar issue. Former management of AIA did not disclose the wingbox issue to
the Company's current management, who did not know of the issue until the FAA
raised it. The Company is now evaluating the feasibility of further modifying
all three aircraft, but is not yet able to predict the cost and time required
for further modification.
20
<PAGE> 21
Two additional Boeing 747-200 aircraft were purchased by the Company from
MEA in 1998. One has been converted to cargo configuration by The Boeing Company
and was approved to operate at maximum payload capacity. That aircraft is now in
revenue service. The second aircraft is expected to be approved to operate at
maximum payload capacity when completed in December 1998.
The Company believes that available funds, bank borrowings and cash flows
expected to be generated by operations and asset sales will be sufficient to
meet its anticipated cash needs for working capital, debt service and capital
expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if cash generated by
operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the
Company may sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional
credit facilities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to sell any additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional
credit facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities at
any time and is presently negotiating with its bank group for expansion of its
borrowing base beyond its current limits.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded
chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions or engage in normal business activities.
Based on recent assessments, the Company determined that it will be required
to modify or replace significant portions of its software so that those systems
will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Company presently
believes that with modifications or replacements of existing software the Year
2000 Issue can be mitigated. However, if such modifications and replacements are
not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material
impact on the operations of the Company.
The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 Issue involves the following
four phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. To date, the
Company has nearly completed its assessment of all systems that could be
significantly affected by the Year 2000. The assessment completed to date
indicates that most of the Company's significant information technology systems
could be affected. The Company has determined that most of the services it has
sold and will continue to sell do not require remediation to be Year 2000
compliant. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that the Year 2000 presents
a material exposure as it relates to the Company's services In addition, the
Company has plans to gather information about the Year 2000 compliance status of
its significant suppliers and subcontractors and will continue to monitor their
compliance.
For its information technology exposures, to date the Company is
approximately 70% complete on the assessment phase and expects to complete
software reprogramming and replacement no later than March 31, 1999. Once
software is reprogrammed or replaced for a system, the Company will begin
testing and implementation. These phases will run concurrently for different
systems. Completion of the testing phase for all significant systems is expected
by July 31, 1999, with all remediated systems fully tested and implemented by
August 31, 1999, with 100% completion targeted for September 30, 1999.
The Company is in the process of working with third party vendors to ensure
that any of the Company's systems that interface directly with third parties are
Year 2000 compliant by March 31, 1999.
The Company has developed plans to query its significant suppliers and
subcontractors that do not share information systems with the Company (external
agents). To date, the Company is not aware of any external agent with a Year
2000 issue that would materially impact the Company's results of operations,
liquidity, or capital resources although the Company understands that certain
fuel refiners may be particulary susceptible to disruption caused by
non-compliant embedded chips, and that certain electrical power suppliers may be
similarly affected. The Company has no means of ensuring that external agents
will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of certain external agents, such as the
FAA, fuel refiners and suppliers
21
<PAGE> 22
generally, and electrical power suppliers, to complete their Year 2000
resolution process in a timely fashion could materially impact the Company. The
effect of non-compliance by external agents is not determinable.
The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram
or replace, test, and implement the software and operating equipment for Year
2000 modifications. The total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated at less
than $0.5 million and is being funded through operating cash flows. To date, the
Company has incurred approximately $50,000 related to all phases of the Year
2000 project. The remaining project costs relate to repair of hardware and
software and will be expensed as incurred.
Management of the Company believes it has an effective program in place to
resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. As noted above, the Company has
not yet completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. Disruptions in
the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues could materially adversely
affect the Company. The amount of potential liability and lost revenue cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time.
The Company currently has no contingency plans in place in the event it
does not complete all phases of the Year 2000 program. The Company plans to
evaluate the status of completion in March 1999 and determine whether such a
plan is necessary.
SEASONALITY
Certain of the Company's customers engage in seasonal businesses, especially
the U.S. Postal Service and customers in the automotive industry. As a result,
the Company's air freight charter logistics business has typically experienced
its highest quarterly revenues and profitability during the fourth quarter of
the calendar year due to the peak Christmas season activity of the U.S. Postal
Service and during the period from June 1 to November 30 when production
schedules of the automotive industry typically increase. Consequently, the
Company experiences its lowest quarterly revenue and profitability during the
first quarter of the calendar year.
