EXHIBIT III-B
Tax Trusts
The Debtors have created trust fund accounts to ensure that adequate funds are available to pay outstanding fiduciary tax obligations owed to the federal government as well as state and local jurisdictions in the event that the Debtors cease operations. The continued use of the trust funds has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and are described below.
With the exception of Trust Fund 1, which is funded on a daily basis and from which payments are made, all other trust funds have only received an initial funding of the estimated maximum tax liability for US Airways, Inc., Allegheny Airlines, Inc., PSA Airlines, Inc. and Piedmont Airlines, Inc. No subsequent funding or payments are made from these trust accounts.
Trust Fund 1 & 5
This trust was established on May 15, 2002 with an initial funding of $149.9 million on May 16, 2002. In May 2003, Trust Fund 5 was established and several components originally funded through Trust Fund 1 were moved to Trust Fund 5. Since the date of funding, all payments associated with each Trust's components have been paid through the trusts and daily funding has occurred based on the estimated daily obligation.
The components of Trust Funds 1 and 5 are as follows:
Trust 1
* Federal payroll withholding taxes, FICA (employee and employer portion), and Medicare;
* Federal unemployment taxes; and
* Federal jet fuel taxes
Trust 5
* Federal air transportation excise taxes;
* Federal security charges;
* Federal Animal and Plan Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("APHIS");
* Federal Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) fees;
* Federal customs taxes; and
* Passenger facility fees and charges (PFCs) (moved from Trust Fund 3)
As a result of changes to Federal law concerning airlines that file for bankruptcy protection, US Airways is required to segregate all PFCs into a separate account. Effective for payments due on and after November 30, 2004, a separate account within Trust 5 was established to pay airports and/or sponsor agencies amounts owed under the PFC legislation.
Trust Fund 2
This trust was established on May 30, 2002, with an initial funding of $5.6 million occurring on May 31, 2002. The Company has not made any additional contributions to Trust Fund 2 since the initial funding on May 31, 2002. The monthly activity in Trust 2 consists of the payment of monthly administrative fees and the investment of monthly dividends.
The components of Trust Fund 2 are as follows:
* State and local income tax withholding;
* Employment taxes and related charges;
* State unemployment and supplemental unemployment;
* Disability taxes; and
* Workers' compensation charges
Trust Fund 3
This trust was established on May 30, 2002, with an initial funding of $23.0 million occurring on May 31, 2002. The only component of Trust Fund 3 was the passenger facility fees and charges (PFCs). In May 2003, the funding of PFCs was moved to Trust Fund 5, such that all monies in Trust Fund 3 were utilized to pay PFCs from May 2003 to August 2003. Trust Fund 3 is still open, although inactive, since August 2003. The Trustee has the power to terminate the Trust.
Trust Fund 4
This trust was established on June 21, 2002 with the initial funding of $33.6 million occurring on the same day. The Company has not made any additional contributions to Trust Fund 4 since the initial funding on June 21, 2002.
The components of Trust Fund 4 are as follows:
* Non-statutory payroll deductions, including employee payments/contributions
* Federal-related and federal security tax-instituted trust fund taxes and charges (note that no Federal related charges are currently included in the initial funding estimates for Trust Fund 4. All Federal charges are accounted for in Trust Fund 1.)
