SOUTHERN AIRWAYS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
Southern Airways Corporation (“SAC”) is a Delaware Corporation that was founded on April 5, 2013, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Southern Airways Express, LLC (“SAE”), Southern Airways Pacific (“SAP”), Southern Airways Autos, LLC (“SAA”), Multi-Aero Inc. (“MUA”), and its consolidated variable interest entity Mariana Southern Airways LLC (“Marianas”) until Marianas was deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2023, are collectively referred to hereafter as “Southern” or “the Company”. As of July 27, 2023, Surf Air Mobility, Inc. (“SAM”) completed its acquisition of the Company (See Note 17, Subsequent Events).
Nature of Operations
Southern is a scheduled service commuter airline serving cities across the United States that is headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida and commenced flight operations in June 2013. It is a certified Part 135 operator which operates a fleet of over 50 aircraft, including the Cessna Caravan, the Cessna Grand Caravan, the King Air Super 200, the Saab 340, the Pilatus PC-12, the Tecnam Traveller, and the Citation Bravo. Southern provides both seasonal and full-year scheduled passenger air transportation service in the Mid-Atlantic and Gulf regions, Rockies and West Coast, Far Pacific, and Hawaii, with select routes subsidized by the United States Department of Transportation (“U.S. DOT”) under the Essential Air Service (“EAS”) program and by the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (“CNMI”) under the Incentive Agreement with CNMI (“Incentive Agreement”) until it was terminated on February 21, 2023 (See Note 5, Joint Venture).
Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $1.0 million in cash. The Company continued to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to inefficient aircraft utilization, primarily caused by an underutilization of pilots and a shortage of maintenance personnel and critical aircraft components, which, in aggregate, have challenged the Company’s ability to serve its customers as desired and, in turn, cover expenses. Although the Company continues to focus on mitigating these challenges, they are expected to continue to impact financial results in the coming months. The Company’s success going forward is dependent on the ability to achieve a high level of aircraft and crew utilization, increase flight services and the number of passengers flown, and ready access to capital to fund operations and planned growth. As of July 27, 2023, Surf Air Mobility, Inc. (“SAM”) completed its acquisition of the Company, which provided additional liquidity for the combined companies (See Note 17, Subsequent Events).
In addition to continued actions to reduce costs, and effectively utilize assets and crews, the Company is evaluating strategies to obtain additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, obtaining additional equity financing, issuing additional debt or entering into other financing arrangements, and restructuring of operations to efficiently utilize aircraft and pilots, grow revenues and decrease expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that new financing will be available to the Company in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing when needed or events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company may be required to take additional measures to enhance, conserve and increase liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily limited to, increasing ticket prices, additional reductions to spending, selling of aircraft, altering or scaling back operational footprint, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes. The information herein reflects all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
Except for the investments in unconsolidated entities policy described below, there have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from those disclosed in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates using historical experience and other factors including the current economic and regulatory environment as well as management’s judgment. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: revenue recognition, certain accrued liabilities, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets including finite-lived intangible assets, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, legal contingencies, stock-based compensation, determination of the fair value of warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, and realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities. Management evaluates its assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may engage outside subject matter experts to assist in the development of estimates. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgments in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions, financial inputs, or circumstances.
Concentration of Risk
The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. All of the Company’s cash deposits are held at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company’s cash deposit accounts may exceed federally insured limits at times. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash deposits to date. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, approximately 86% and 75%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is due from the U.S. DOT, in relation to certain air routes served by the Company under the U.S. DOT’s EAS program.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from the U.S. DOT in relation to certain air routes served by the Company under the EAS program and amounts due from airline and non-airline business partners. Receivables from the U.S. DOT and our business partners are typically settled within 30 days. All accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for credit losses, which was not material as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. The Company has considered past and future financial and qualitative factors, including aging, payment history and other credit monitoring indicators, when establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company accounts for the investments in its unconsolidated entities under the equity method. The Company’s share of earnings (losses) in the unconsolidated entities is included in equity in earnings of equity method investees and equity in earnings (losses) of non-economic ownership interests in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records losses of the unconsolidated entities only to the extent of its investment unless there is an obligation to provide further financial support for the
F-6
investee. All equity in earnings (losses) of the non-economic ownership interests is allocated to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value and the investment may be other-than-temporarily impaired. An impairment loss is required to be recognized if the impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. Investments that are other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to their estimated fair value and cannot subsequently be written back up for increases in estimated fair value.
Revision to previously issued financial statements
The Company collects deposits from certain corporate customers that can be used in the future for the purchase of passenger tickets. These credits do not have an expiration date.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company identified an error in the accounting for customer deposits, resulting in an overstatement of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and an understatement of the associated deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022 and including opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2021 related to errors in periods prior to 2021.
The Company revised its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in redeemable convertible preferred shares and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as well as related footnote disclosures to correct this error.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
F-7
Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This new credit losses standard changes the accounting for credit losses for certain instruments. The new measurement approach is based on expected losses, commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, which is utilized to estimate lifetime “expected credit losses” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses and applies to financial assets including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investment in leases, and reinsurance and trade receivables, as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The standard also changes the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), which updated the effective date of this credit loss standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, for non-public entities, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures, since the majority of the accounts receivable are due from the U.S. government and the Company historically had no credit losses on these accounts receivable.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities – Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (Topic 425). This ASU creates a disclosure framework by which buyers in a supplier finance program will disclose significant qualitative and quantitative information to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature and potential magnitude. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not have any material supplier finance programs during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 4. Business Combinations
Surf Air Mobility Acquisition
Surf Air acquired the Company on July 27, 2023. Further details are provided in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies and Note 17, Subsequent Events.
Multi-Aero, Inc. Acquisition
On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of St. Louis-based air carrier Multi-Aero, Inc. dba Air Choice One (“MUA” or “Air Choice One”) for total cash purchase consideration of $4.1 million that was funded at close by the Clarus Tranche 1 Note (See Note 10, Long-Term Debt, Net). The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand capacity to serve additional EAS routes and to purchase aircraft. The net assets acquired primarily include three aircraft ($3.1 million), a spare aircraft engine ($0.2 million), spare parts inventory ($0.5 million), and liabilities ($0.5 million). The Company recognized $0.8 million of goodwill as part of this transaction relating to expected synergies of combined operations and the assumption of the deferred tax liability. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. At the close of acquisition, Air Choice One was serving a total of three destinations in the United States: Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination.
The Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the preliminary estimates of their fair values, which were determined using generally accepted valuation techniques based on estimates and assumptions made by management. The fair values are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the close of the transaction as additional information is obtained. Any adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period are recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined. Subsequent to this initial allocation, the Company recorded a $0.4 million measurement period adjustment on December 31, 2022 related to identified deferred tax liabilities, which increased goodwill from $0.4 million at June 30, 2022 to $0.8 million at December 31, 2022. The adjustment also resulted in an income tax benefit of $0.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Note 5. Joint Venture
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company acquired a 50% membership interest in Mariana Southern Airways LLC (“Marianas”) for the purposes of providing inter-island air flight services for the transportation of passengers and cargo throughout the Mariana Islands. On July 1, 2022, the Company executed an airline services agreement with Marianas to provide regular scheduled air transportation service. Based on the substantial services that the Company provided, as well as the power to direct operations, per the airline services agreement, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of Marianas. The Company had the power to direct the commercial and operating activities of Marianas and had the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive substantially all of the benefits from Marianas as of the agreement execution date of July 1, 2022. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the assets and liabilities of Marianas in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, recorded the operational results of Marianas in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations through March 31, 2023 and recorded noncontrolling interest for the 50% interest attributable to MP Enterprises, LLC (the “JV partner”) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Intercompany transactions between the Company and Marianas were eliminated upon consolidation.
On February 21, 2023, the Office of the Governor of the CNMI issued a letter to Marianas terminating the Incentive Agreement between Marianas and the CNMI government. The Incentive Agreement had approximately twelve months remaining in duration.
On April 1, 2023, the airline services agreement between Marianas and the Company was terminated, and Marianas airline operations ceased, as a result of the CNMI government terminating the Incentive Agreement. With the termination of the airline services agreement and ceasing Marianas operations, the Company determined that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of Marianas, which resulted in the deconsolidation of Marianas during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The Company deconsolidated $0.1 million of current assets consisting of cash, spare parts and prepaid expenses; $0.3 million of long-term assets consisting of property, plant and equipment and security deposit; and $1.5 million of current liabilities consisting of $0.1 million in payroll liabilities, $0.6 million of deferred incentive income, and $0.8 million of amounts due to the JV partner for expenses paid by the JV partner on behalf of Marianas.
The investment in the unconsolidated entity in Marianas was $0 at June 30, 2023 and is accounted for under the equity method.
F-9
The Company has an accrued liability of $0.6 million due to the JV partner as of June 30, 2023 related to capital contributions provided for an aircraft used in Marianas operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred costs of $0.3 million related to the winding down of operations of Marianas including hangar rent, employee salaries and aircraft carrying costs, which were shared equally by the Company and the JV partner. The Company recorded its share of these costs as operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining costs attributable to the JV partner was recorded as a reduction in the amount due to the JV partner. As of June 30, 2023, the amount due to JV Partner totaled $0.4 million in Other Current Liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (See Note 9, Other Current Liability).
