NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2004
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — General

Business

Mercury Air Group, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was organized in 1956 and provides a broad range of services to the aviation industry through three principal operating units which are all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company: MercFuel, Inc. (“MercFuel”), a Delaware corporation, Mercury Air Cargo, Inc. (“Air Cargo”), a California corporation, and Maytag Aircraft Corporation (“Maytag”), a Colorado corporation. MercFuel’s operations consist of the sale and delivery of fuel, primarily aviation fuel, to domestic and international commercial airlines, fractional jet ownership companies, corporate aviation fleets and air cargo companies. Air Cargo’s operations consist of cargo handling, the sale of cargo capacity on other airlines (“Cargo Space Logistics”), and general cargo sales agent services. Maytag is a provider of governmental contract services performing aircraft refueling and fuel storage operations, base operations support (“BOS”) services, air terminal and ground handling services and weather observation and forecasting services primarily for agencies of the government of the United States of America.

Through April 12, 2004, the Company operated a fourth operating unit, Mercury Air Centers, Inc. (“Air Centers”). Air Centers’ operations consisted of aviation fuel sales, aircraft refueling operations (“into-plane”), aircraft ground support services, aircraft hangar services, aircraft parking (“aircraft tie-down services”) and aircraft maintenance at certain Air Center locations, known as Fixed Based Operations (“FBO’s”). On April 12, 2004 (the “FBO Sale Closing Date”), following stockholder approval, the Company sold all of Air Centers outstanding common stock to Allied Capital Corporation (“Allied”) for $76,349 thousand subject to adjustments for, among other things, Air Centers’ net working capital as of the FBO Sale Closing Date and the distribution of funds from an escrow account established at closing associated with the Air Centers’ Hartsfield International Airport FBO (the “Hartsfield FBO”). The assets sold through the sale of the stock of Air Centers (the “FBO Sale”) consist of all of the assets of the Company’s FBO business excluding the Company’s FBO at the Long Beach Airport which the Company has retained and continues to operate.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “Company” or “Mercury” refers to Mercury Air Group, Inc. and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 5456 McConnell Avenue, Los Angeles, California, 90066 and its telephone number is (310) 827-2737.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference in it includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to our industry are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may”, “will”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect” or “intend” and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We cannot promise you that our expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out correct. Factors that impact such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, quarterly fluctuations in results; the management of growth; fluctuations in world oil prices, interest rates or foreign currency; changes in political, economic, regulatory or environmental conditions; the loss of key customers, suppliers or members of senior management; uninsured losses; competition; credit risk associated with accounts receivable; and other risks detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Risks and Uncertainties

Accounts receivable is comprised primarily of trade receivables from customers and is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s credit risk is based in part on the following: 1) substantially all receivables are related to the aviation industry, 2) there is a concentration of credit risk as there are several customers who at any time have significant balances owed to the Company, and 3) significant balances are owed by certain customers that are not adequately capitalized. In addition, significantly higher fuel prices for extended periods of time may have a negative impact on the aviation industry as it substantially increases airlines’ operating expenses. Smaller airlines with lower levels of capital may be more seriously impacted. The Company assesses its credit portfolio on an ongoing basis and establishes allowances which it believes are adequate to absorb potential credit problems that can be reasonably anticipated.

The Company purchases aviation fuel from a limited number of suppliers. If the Company’s relationship with any of these key suppliers terminates, the Company may not be able to obtain a sufficient quantity of aviation fuel on favorable terms or may experience difficulty in obtaining aviation fuel from alternative suppliers. Furthermore, difficulties faced by these suppliers or aviation fuel shortages or the inability to obtain aviation fuel from alternate sources at acceptable prices and terms could impair the Company’s ability to sell aviation fuel to its customers at competitive prices and terms.

The Company may experience decreases in future sales volume and margins as a result of deterioration in the world economy, or in the aviation industry, and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, as well as a result of potential future terrorist activities and possible military retaliation. Through the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2005, petroleum product prices, including aviation fuel, have either achieved or been close to historical high levels. This sustained price level places additional financial burden on many of the Company’s customers. If the Company’s customers are not able to pass on the higher petroleum product prices to its customers, they may experience financial hardship which may result in the Company experiencing longer collection terms, which will place additional financial burden on the Company, or higher level of uncollectible accounts.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. 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 of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements. Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 due to seasonal and other factors. In order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.

Note 2 — Stock-Based Employee Compensation

The Company has four stock option plans. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), and as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”) the Company measures compensation expense related to employee stock options granted utilizing the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income (loss) if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

Diluted net income (loss) per share — pro forma	$	0.03		$	(0.09	)

Note 3 — Income Taxes

Income tax expense has been computed based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the respective periods adjusted for significant events that have occurred during the respective periods that are not expected to recur in future periods. The effective income tax rate for income from continuing operations was 46.4% and 39.0% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Note 4 — Litigation

On May 1, 2002, the Company received a notice of violation (“NOV”) from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for the Air Centers’ Fort Wayne, Indiana facility alleging that the Company’s spill prevention, control and countermeasure plan (“SPCC Plan”) did not meet certain federal regulations. On March 14, 2003, the Company received a NOV from the EPA alleging certain deficiencies in the Company’s SPCC Plan for the Air Centers’ Fort Wayne, Indiana facility, submitted to the EPA in November 2002. The Company believes that it has resolved all deficiencies except for alleged deficiencies related to: 1) secondary containment for refueling trucks, and 2) secondary containment for discrete fuel loading areas. Pursuant to an agreement detailed in a letter submitted to the EPA on April 16, 2003, the Company has been permitted to suspend modifications to its SPCC Plan regarding the installation of secondary containment for its refueling trucks, pending resolution of federal regulatory issues associated with secondary containment for such trucks. The EPA has also extended national compliance with regulations related to discrete loading areas until November 15, 2004. Further, the EPA announced in a Federal Register notice dated June 28, 2004, 69 Fed. Reg. 38297 that the EPA is considering a proposal to amend 40 CFR 112 to address, among other things, the “applicability of the rule to mobile/portable containers.”

The Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Allied dated as of October 28, 2003 regarding the sale of all of the outstanding stock owned by the Company in Air Centers (the “Air Centers’ SPA”), provides that the Company shall be responsible for compliance, for a period of eighteen months subsequent to the FBO Sale Closing Date, for any required secondary containment (as the term is defined in the Air Centers’ SPA) required by any applicable governmental authority requiring secondary containment pursuant to environmental law for extended or overnight fuel truck parking at any FBO comprising the FBO business on the FBO Sale Closing Date. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flow or financial position.

On November 26, 2003, Signature Flight Support Corporation filed a complaint against Air Centers and Allied in federal court as a result of the FBO Sale alleging: 1) breach of contract and tortious interference with contract against Allied; 2) interference with prospective economic advantage against Allied; and 3) unfair business practices against the Company and Allied. The Company believes that the allegations are without merit and is in the process of preparing a response. The Company has agreed to indemnify Allied and its affiliates (including, without limitation, Air Centers after the closing of the FBO Sale), directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons from certain liabilities, obligations, losses or expenses to which Allied may become subject as a result of the complaint. On August 4, 2004 the parties participated in a court ordered mediation session and were not able to resolve their differences. On September 22, 2004 Signature also filed an action in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Mercury Air Group, Inc. and Joe Czyzyk arising out of the same transaction that is at issue in the federal action. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these complaints is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The Company is also a defendant in certain litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Reference is made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2004 for additional legal matters with respect to which no material developments have occurred in the current quarter.

Note 5 — Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash held for specific purposes and not available for general use by the Company. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2004 is comprised of: 1) $768 thousand on deposit with Wells Fargo Foothill as reserve for outstanding letters of credit fees; and 2) $8,294 thousand for an escrow account established on the FBO Sale Closing Date associated with the Hartsfield FBO (the “Harstfield Escrow Account”). The funds held in the Hartsfield Escrow Account are to be distributed to either one or both of the Company and Allied over a period not to exceed five years from the FBO Sale Closing Date dependent upon the award of a new lease at the Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta for a new FBO. Dependent upon the effective date of the new lease and the terms and conditions of the new lease, the Company may be entitled to all, some or none of the amount deposited into the Hartsfield Escrow Account at closing.

On October 11, 2004, the city of Atlanta notified Air Centers that it planned on entering into lease negotiations with a different company for the new FBO at the Hartsfield International Airport. The Company and Air Centers are reviewing the viability of a protest if a final lease is awarded to a third party. If a new FBO lease at the Hartsfield International Airport is not awarded to Air Centers, the amount remaining undistributed in the Hartsfield Escrow Account on the date that Air Centers ceases operating the Hartsfield FBO will be distributed to Allied. Although no assurance can be given by the Company that Air Centers will be operating the Hartsfield FBO on April 12, 2005, if Air Centers is still operating the Hartsfield FBO under the existing lease terms and conditions on April 12, 2005, the Company will be entitled to receive $1,654 thousand from the Hartsfield Escrow Account.

Note 6 — Debt

On July 29, 2004, the Company and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) entered into a three-year $30,000 thousand revolving line of credit (the “B of A Credit Facility”) collateralized by all of the assets of the Company, the terms of which were amended effective November 1, 2004. In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, as amended, the revolving line of credit is used as collateral for any letter of credit issued by the Company and for general working capital needs. Upon the effective date of the B of A Credit Facility, $15,414 thousand of cash deposited by the Company as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and reported as restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2004 was released to the Company for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $29,574 thousand of revolving credit line available under the B of A Credit Facility, net of applicable reserves, of which $15,539 thousand was reserved for issued and outstanding letters of credit and $14,035 thousand was available and undrawn. However, based on the terms of the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of November 1, 2004 (the “First Amendment”), the amount available and undrawn as of September 30, 2004 was $11,223 thousand. The amount of credit available to the Company on the B of A Credit Facility, as amended, is determined monthly and is equal to the lesser of 1) sum of : a) 80% of the balance due on Domestic Eligible Receivables less b) $2,000 thousand; and 2) $30,000 thousand. The B of A Credit Facility, as amended, contains certain financial covenants limiting the amount the Company can expend annually for capital expenditures to $2,000 thousand. The B of A Credit Facility, as amended, also prohibits the repurchase of stock and the payment of cash dividends, except for cash dividends in an amount not to exceed $17,500 thousand by June 30, 2005. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial targets for tangible net worth and fixed charges. The Company is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the B of A Credit Facility.

On October 6, 2004 the Company declared a one-time special dividend of $17,500 thousand. After receiving consent from Bank of America and executing the First Amendment, this one-time special cash dividend was paid on November 5, 2004. Please refer to “Note 13 – Subsequent Events” for additional information on this dividend.

On November 1, 2004, the Company and Bank of America entered into a Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement (the “LOC and Reimbursement Agreement”) relating to the outstanding tax exempt bonds issued in 1998 pursuant to a loan agreement between the Company and the California Economic Development Financing Authority (“CEDFA”). As of November 1, 2004, the outstanding principal amount of the bonds outstanding was $14,000 thousand. In accordance with the terms of the LOC and Reimbursement Agreement, Bank of America has issued an irrevocable direct pay letter of credit to the trustee for the bondholders in an amount of $14,161 thousand (the “CEDFA LOC”) that replaced the previously existing irrevocable direct pay letter of credit of the same amount issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. on behalf of the Company, which was cancelled simultaneously with the issuance of the CEDFA LOC. In addition to the issuance of the CEDFA LOC, the LOC and Reimbursement Agreement requires the Company to

call for redemption bonds in the principal amount of $500 thousand on each of April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2005. The CEDFA LOC was issued by Bank of America as part of the B of A Credit facility.

On November 2, 2004, the Company requested and received a cash advance on the B of A Credit Facility in the amount of $10,000 thousand. The funds received as a cash advance were used to fund the one-time special cash dividend and to meet on-going working capital requirements. After taking this cash advance into consideration, the Company had $1,223 thousand available and undrawn on the B of A Credit Facility.

Note 7 — Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company owns a 69.6% equity interest in MercMed LLC (“MercMed”), which was formed in 1998 for the purpose of owning and operating an aircraft for the MercMed members. As a result of the age of the MercMed aircraft, changes in Federal Aviation Administration requirements restricting the altitude at which the MercMed aircraft can fly, the popularity of fractional jet ownership versus outright aircraft ownership and the technological advancements in aircraft design and construction, it was determined that the current market value of the MercMed aircraft was below the carrying value of the aircraft on MercMed’s financial records. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the book value of the MercMed aircraft was adjusted to reflect the current market value as determined by the MercMed members, which was determined to be $532 thousand. This adjustment to market value resulted in an asset impairment loss of $626 thousand.

The financial records of MercMed are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the reporting periods and as of the balance sheet dates included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The minority member’s interest in MercMed is reported as minority interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the minority member’s share of MercMed’s operating results is reported as minority interest on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. For additional information on MercMed, please see “Note 13 – Subsequent Events”.

Note 8 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents include stock options and shares resulting from the assumed conversion of subordinated debentures, when dilutive.

Note 11 — Related Party Transactions

CFK Partners was a partnership consisting of three of the Company’s directors, one of whom also serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, another who served as Chairman of the Board of Directors and the third who serves as a director and is the Company’s primary outside legal counsel. In July 2004, after the retirement of Dr. Fagan as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. Fagan withdrew as a member of CFK Partners. The remaining members of CFK Partners, now known as CK Partners, are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and one of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2004, CK Partners owned approximately 32% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Pursuant to the terms of Dr. Fagan’s contract with the Company, upon Dr. Fagan’s retirement as Chairman of the Board of Directors in July 2004, the Company paid Dr. Fagan a bonus and severance payment of $1,890 thousand. This amount was accrued at June 30, 2004.

In January 2002, the Company sold the land and office building which houses its corporate headquarters to CFK Realty Partners, LLC (“CFK Realty”) for $4,200 thousand, consisting of $2,800 thousand in cash and a note receivable of $1,400 thousand. The note accrued interest at 5% and contained provisions whereby CFK Realty could elect to extend the maturity date in one-year increments through December 31, 2004. The note had an original maturity date of December 31, 2002. In early December 2002 and 2003, the Company received notification from CFK Realty that it was exercising its right to extend the maturity date of the note for an additional one year period. Concurrently with the sale, the Company also entered into a twenty-year lease of the property for a

monthly rental amount of approximately $37 thousand. During fiscal 2003, the Company expended $275 thousand for leasehold improvements on its corporate headquarters. This amount is being amortized over the office lease term. CFK Realty financed the purchase of the headquarters through a $3,200 thousand loan. In July 2004, CFK Realty was restructured whereby Dr. Fagan, the retired Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, became the sole member of CFK Realty. Effective July 2004, CFK Realty is no longer considered a related party and the financial statements of CFK Realty are no longer included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company uses the services of the legal firm McBreen and Kopko (the “Firm”) for various general corporate legal matters. Mr. Frederick H. Kopko, Jr., a partner of the Firm, is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and is a member of CK Partners. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid the Firm $240 thousand and $142 thousand, respectively, for legal services rendered by the Firm.

The CEDFA LOC was issued by Bank of America as part of the B of A Credit Facility.

On November 2, 2004 the Company requested and received a cash advance of $10,000 thousand from the B of A Credit Facility. The funds received as a cash advance were used to fund the one-time special cash dividend and to meet on-going working capital requirements.

On November 10, 2004, the Company, upon authorization from the Company’s Board of Directors, entered into an agreement to sell all of its rights, title and interest in MercMed to Dr. Fagan.

The monthly lease rate remains unchanged from the original lease at $37 thousand. The Company also agreed to amend the terms of the CFK Realty Note to reduce the principal amount of the note to $779 thousand, from the previous principal amount of $1,400 thousand plus accrued interest of $179 thousand, at an interest rate of 4% per annum. The CFK Realty Note is payable on December 31, 2009.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to September 30, 2003

The Company reported net income of $64 thousand or $0.02 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, $4 thousand less than the income from continuing operations, net of taxes, reported for the same period last year of $68 thousand, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share.

Revenue from continuing operations for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $125,491 thousand, which increased by $45,781 thousand or 57.4% from revenue from continuing operations of $79,710 thousand reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Gross margin from continuing operations increased by $780 thousand or 22.2% to $4,291 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $3,511 thousand reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

Volume (thousand gallons)		74,429		64,270
Gross margin ($000)	$	1,640	$	1,426

Revenue for MercFuel’s commercial segment increased $33,328 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to $85,724 thousand on sales volume of 63,616 thousand gallons. The increased revenue for the commercial segment is due to higher average petroleum product prices resulting from concerns of oil supply disruptions due to the Iraq war, crude oil supply disruptions from the Gulf of Mexico due to hurricane activity and from increased worldwide demand for petroleum products due to an improving worldwide economy. MercFuel’s commercial segment’s average sales price in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased 44.7% over the first quarter of fiscal 2004’s average sales price. The increased average sales price in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004, represents increased revenue of approximately $26,499 thousand. MercFuel’s commercial sales volume increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to 63,616 thousand gallons, an increase of 7,335 thousand gallons, or 13.0%, from MercFuel’s first quarter of fiscal 2004’s commercial sales volume of 56,281 thousand gallons. The increased sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004, represents increased revenue of approximately $6,829 thousand.

Revenue for MercFuel’s corporate/fractional jet ownership segment was $23,080 thousand on sales volume of 10,813 thousand gallons in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $10,486 thousand, or 83.3%, and 2,824 thousand gallons, or 35.3%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2004’s revenue of $12,594 thousand on sales volume of 7,989 thousand gallons. The increase in sales revenue is due to the increase in worldwide petroleum product prices, increased use of private aircraft for both business and personal travel and MercFuel’s strategic focus on this business segment. The average sales price for aviation jet fuel in the corporate/fractional jet ownership segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased 35.4% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004 equating to increased revenue of approximately $6,034 thousand. The increased sales volume equates to an increase in revenue of approximately $4,452 thousand.

MercFuel’s cost of aviation fuel was $105,967 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 which represents an increase of 69.7% from MercFuel’s cost of aviation fuel in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 of $62,449 thousand. The average cost of aviation fuel per gallon increased 46.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to $1.424 per gallon. The increase in the average cost of aviation fuel per gallon equates to an increase in the cost of aviation fuel of $33,643 thousand. The increase in the volume of aviation fuel purchased resulted in an increase in the cost of aviation fuel of $9,875 thousand. MercFuel’s operating expenses, excluding the cost of aviation

fuel, was $1,197 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $82 thousand from the first quarter of fiscal 2004’s operating expense excluding aviation fuel cost of $1,115 thousand.

Air Cargo’s revenue was $11,190 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $2,296 thousand, or 25.8%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 revenue of $8,894 thousand resulting in gross margin of $1,326 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $553 thousand from last year’s gross margin of $773 thousand.

The cargo handling segment reported revenue of $7,141 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $682 thousand, or 10.6%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 revenue of $6,459 thousand. Cargo handling’s gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $995 thousand, an increase of $226 thousand, or 29.4%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 gross margin of $769 thousand. The improved results are mainly due to increased cargo handling volume as a result of an improved worldwide economy and Air Cargo’s focus on cost control.

The cargo logistics services segment reported revenue of $2,899 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $1,559 thousand from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 revenue of $1,340 thousand. The increased revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 is mainly due to the increased business activity associated with Air Cargo’s Mercury World Cargo (“MWC”) operation. Cargo logistics services segment’s gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $305 thousand from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to $661 thousand. The increased gross margin is due to the increased business activity associated with various airline management contracts and MWC operations.

The cargo general sales agent (GSA) services segment reported revenue of $1,150 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $55 thousand from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 revenue of $1,095 thousand. The GSA services’ gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $74 thousand, an increase of $91 thousand from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 loss of $17 thousand. The increase in GSA’s gross margin is due to Air Cargo’s focus on cost control.

Air Cargo’s administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were $404 thousand, an increase of $69 thousand from last year.

Maytag reported revenue of $5,363 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, a reduction of $463 thousand from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 revenue of $5,826 thousand. Maytag’s first quarter of fiscal 2005 gross margin was $1,311 thousand, essentially unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 gross margin of $1,312 thousand.

The decrease in Maytag’s revenue is due to the non-renewal of one refueling contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and the non-renewal of one refueling contract and one BOS contract during fiscal 2004.

Bad debt expense for continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 totaled $277 thousand or 0.22% of total revenue from continuing operations as compared to $360 thousand or 0.45% of total revenue from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company experienced no significant individual write-offs during the first quarter of either fiscal 2005 or 2004.

Selling, general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 amounted to $2,711 thousand, an increase of $430 thousand or 18.9% from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 expenses of $2,281 thousand. The increase in G&A expenses is mainly due to increased legal expenses. The Company expects that certain G&A expenses will increase in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 as the Company maintains compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations was $635 thousand in the current period as compared to $713 thousand last year.

Interest and other expense from continuing operations in the current period was $104 thousand, an increase of $53 thousand from last year’s interest and other expense from continuing operations of $51 thousand.

The Company recognized an impairment loss associated with the MercMed aircraft in the amount of $626 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as the result of asset impairment valuation. For more detailed information on this transaction, please refer to “Note 7 – Impairment of Long-lived Assets”.

The Company recorded income of $181 thousand from minority interest associated with MercMed in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to income of $6 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in income from minority interest is due to the recognition of the MercMed’s minority member’s share of the impairment loss associated with the MercMed asset.

The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 was 46.4% compared to 39% in the same period last year. The higher effective income tax rate in the current period is due to a higher effective state income tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $12,297 thousand, an increase of $7,607 thousand from cash and cash equivalents of $4,690 thousand as of June 30, 2004.

Net cash used in operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $6,917 thousand, as compared to net cash generated from operations of $2,163 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The net cash used in operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 include payments of $1,890 thousand associated with the retirement of the Chairman of the Board, $615 thousand associated with a settlement agreement with David H. Murdock and related parties (“Murdock”), and $1,610 thousand associated with the Company’s income tax obligations primarily due to the FBO sale. In addition, the change in operating assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 required $2,802 thousand of cash. The cash required for the change in operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to the increase in petroleum product prices resulting in higher working capital requirements for the Company, as the Company generally has shorter payment terms for its fuel supply than the terms the Company extends to its customers.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company generated $15,299 thousand of cash from investing activities as compared to $729 thousand used in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. On July 29, 2004, the effective date of the senior secured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), $15,414 thousand of the LOC Reserve became unrestricted as the outstanding letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company by Bank of America were secured by the collateral base of the Bank of America Credit Facility. The Company also expended $447 thousand for additions to property, equipment and leaseholds in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

The Company used $846 thousand in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily due to the purchase of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $6.00 per share in accordance with the settlement agreement with Murdock.

On July 29, 2004, the Company and Bank of America entered into a three-year $30,000 thousand revolving credit line (the “B of A Credit Facility”) collateralized by all of the assets of the Company, the terms of which were amended effective November 1, 2004. In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, as amended, the revolving line of credit is used as collateral for any letters of credit issued by the Company and for general working capital needs. Upon the effective date of the B of A Credit Facility, $15,414 thousand of cash deposited by the Company as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and reported as restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2004 was released to the Company for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $29,574 thousand of revolving credit line available under the B of A Credit Facility, net of applicable reserves, of which $15,539 thousand was reserved for issued and outstanding letters of credit and $14,035 thousand was available and undrawn. However, based on the terms of the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of November 1, 2004, the amount available and undrawn as of September 30, 2004 was $11,223 thousand. The amount of credit available to the Company on the B of A Credit Facility, as amended, is determined monthly and is equal to the lesser of 1) sum of : a) 80% of the balance due on Domestic Eligible Receivables less b) $2,000 thousand; and 2) $30,000 thousand. The B of A Credit Facility, as amended, contains certain financial covenants limiting the amount the Company can expend annually for capital expenditures to $2,000 thousand. The B of A Credit Facility, as amended, also prohibits the repurchase of stock and the payment of cash dividends, except for cash dividends in an amount not to exceed $17,500 thousand by June 30, 2005. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial targets for tangible net worth and fixed charges. The Company is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the B of A Credit Facility.

On October 6, 2004, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a one-time special cash dividend totaling $17,500 thousand, that would be payable on a pro rata basis to holders of record of its common stock as of the close of business on October 18, 2004. The dividend was paid on November 5, 2004. Based on 3,056,355 shares of its common stock outstanding as of the close of business on October 18, 2004, the dividend payable per common share was $5.70. The amount payable per share of common stock was net of the mandatory dividend payments of approximately $70 thousand on the Company’s outstanding Series A 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) as of the dividend payment date of November 5, 2004.

On November 1, 2004, the Company and Bank of America entered into the LOC and Reimbursement Agreement relating to the outstanding tax exempt bonds issued in 1998 pursuant to a loan agreement between the Company and CEDFA. As of November 1, 2004, the outstanding principal amount of the bonds outstanding was $14,000 thousand. In accordance with the terms of the LOC and Reimbursement Agreement, Bank of America has issued the CEDFA LOC that replaced the previously existing irrevocable direct pay letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. on behalf of the Company, which was simultaneously cancelled upon issuance of the CEDFA LOC. In addition to the issuance of the CEDFA LOC, the LOC and Reimbursement Agreement requires the Company to call for redemption bonds in the principal amount of $500 thousand on each of April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2005. The CEDFA LOC was issued by Bank of America as part of the B of A Credit facility.
