NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Navtech, Inc. (Navtech-US) was originally incorporated in the State of New York in 1981 and then reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1987. Navtech Systems Support Inc. (Navtech-Canada), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navtech-US, was incorporated in the Province of Ontario in 1987. Navtech (UK) Limited (Navtech-UK), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navtech-Canada, was incorporated in the United Kingdom in 1994. When we refer to Navtech, we are speaking of Navtech-US and its subsidiaries.
Our head office is located at 2340 Garden Road, Suite 207, Monterey, CA 93940. Our principal operations are based at 175 Columbia Street West, Suite 102, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 5Z5. We maintain a website at www.navtechinc.com. Our common stock is publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “NAVH”. For investor information, we can be reached at (519) 747-1170.
We develop, market and support flight operations management systems for the commercial aviation industry. Our systems are designed to assist commercial passenger and cargo air carriers in the dynamic environment of their daily flight operations.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2005, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended April 30, 2005 have been prepared by us without audit. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring accrual adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at April 30, 2005, and for all periods presented, have been made.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navtech-US and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Navtech-Canada and Navtech-UK. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translations,” assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at current rates of exchange, while results of operations are translated at average rates in effect for that period. Unrealized translation gains or losses are accumulated in comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of equity.
Due to the size and nature of certain recent customer contracts, we have adopted the percentage of completion method of accounting for custom programming contracts.
For information concerning our significant accounting policies, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2004. Results of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure and Amendment of SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 148"). SFAS No. 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25") and amends certain provisions of SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. In addition, SFAS No. 123R will cause unrecognized expense (based on the amounts in our pro forma footnote disclosure) related to options vesting after the date of initial adoption to be recognized as a charge to operations over the remaining vesting period. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in our quarter ending April 30, 2006. Under SFAS No. 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at the date of adoption. The transition alternatives include prospective and retroactive
NAVTECH, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
adoption methods. Under the retroactive method, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and share awards at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, while the retroactive method would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and share awards beginning with the first period restated. We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 123R and have not yet quantified the impact of SFAS No. 123R on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

Earnings per share - diluted (A)/(C) | | | 0.02 | | | 0.01 | | | 0.03 | | | 0.02 | |
Dilutive securities consist of employee stock options and warrants. Specific employee stock options and warrants are excluded if their effect is antidilutive.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As permitted under this standard, the Company elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| | April 30, |
Assumption | | | 2005 | | | 2004 | |
Volatility factor of expected market price of the Company’s stock | | | 139 | % | | 173 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | 0 | % |
Risk-free rate | | | 4 | % | | 4 | % |
Weighted average expected life of stock options (years) | | | 2.4 | | | 4 | |
NAVTECH, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SFAS 123 requires that, for the pro forma disclosure, the compensation cost based on the fair values of the options at the grant date be amortized over the vesting period. If compensation cost for stock options had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method described by SFAS 123, the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements we make in this Form 10-QSB may not occur. Generally these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions that may be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "project," "plan," "intend," "estimate," and "continue," and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences (including those discussed under “Other Considerations” in Item 6 of our Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2004), many of which are beyond our control, that may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Revenue from service fees increased approximately $1,275,000, or 33%, to approximately $5,148,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2005, compared with approximately $3,873,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2004.
The following table shows the major components of the revenue from service fees for the six months ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands except percentage amounts):
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | Percentage Change | |
Software subscription fees | | $ | 4,058 | | $ | 3,408 | | | 19 | % |
Development and other | | | 1,090 | | | 465 | | | 134 | % |
| | $ | 5,148 | | $ | 3,873 | | | 33 | % |
Software subscription fees increased primarily as a result of the addition of new customers. We have enjoyed growth in our dispatch product customer base, with the majority of new long-term contracts being established in Europe and Asia-Pacific. We are also experiencing success with the marketing of our crew management products in the North American marketplace.
Development and other revenue represents amounts that are not subject to a recurring contract, including systems consulting, custom programming and the resale of hardware. Development and other revenue has increased as a result of the greater proportion of customers subscribing to our crew management products. These products typically have higher levels of systems consulting, custom programming and hardware requirements. Significant custom programming contracts are accounted for on a percentage of completion basis.
NAVTECH, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Costs and expenses
Overall, the recent appreciation of major currencies relative to the US dollar has increased our total costs and expenses as reported in US dollars. The majority of our expenditures, including personnel costs, originate in Canada or the United Kingdom and are paid in the respective local currencies. Consequently, the stronger currencies in those countries have effectively increased our costs and expenses as reported in US dollars. For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the appreciation of other currencies relative to the US dollar has resulted in an increase in our total costs and expenses by approximately $270,000 as compared to the same period in 2004.
Cost of service fees
The following table shows the major components of the cost of service fees for the six months ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands except percentage amounts):
| | | 2005 | | | 2004 | | | Percentage Change | |
Salaries and benefits | | $ | 1,592 | | $ | 1,284 | | | 24 | % |
Communication costs | | | 423 | | | 406 | | | 4 | % |
Facilities | | | 168 | | | 119 | | | 41 | % |
Hardware and travel | | | 137 | | | 75 | | | 83 | % |
Royalties | | | 120 | | | 102 | | | 18 | % |
Depreciation | | | 67 | | | 64 | | | 5 | % |
Other | | | 100 | | | 95 | | | 5 | % |
| | $ | 2,607 | | $ | 2,145 | | | 22 | % |
Excluding the impact of changes in relative currency value, the cost of services increased by approximately $319,000, or 15%.
Excluding the impact of changes in relative currency value, salaries and benefits for the six months ended April 30, 2005 increased 15% from the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily a result of staffing increases in the quality assurance and installation management groups to support the current and anticipated future growth of our customer base.
Excluding the impact of changes in relative currency values, facilities expense for the six months ended April 30, 2005 increased approximately $39,000, or 33%, compared to the same period last year. This increase was a result of higher costs associated with the relocation of our UK office during fiscal 2005.
The increase in hardware and travel was a result of an increase in expenses directly related to the implementation of new services at new or existing customers. These costs relate to the cost of hardware and travel that is generally re-billed to customers as part of an implementation.
Royalty costs for the six months ended April 30, 2005, which are all denominated in US dollars and paid as a direct percentage of the related revenue, increased 18% compared to the same period in fiscal 2004 as a direct result of an increase in monthly service volumes, and an increase in the proportion of revenues subject to royalties.

NAVTECH, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Excluding the impact of changes in relative currency values, professional fees increased approximately $38,000, or 38%, compared to the same period last year. Professional fees have increased as a result of additional costs associated with increasing regulatory requirements.
The increase in insurance costs, which are primarily denominated in US dollars, was a direct result of increases in premiums on the renewal of existing policies.
Bad debt expense for the six months ended April 30, 2005 increased approximately $79,000 as a result of certain customers declaring bankruptcy during fiscal 2005. As at April 30, 2005, the bad debt reserve covered 71% of accounts receivable over 90 days.
Other expense
Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 2005 was $9,900, a decrease of approximately $7,500, or 43%, compared to the same period last year. The reduction in interest expense was due to the elimination of long-term debt balances during fiscal 2004 as well as the continued improvement in our working capital that has resulted in a decrease in the usage of short-term financing during 2005.
Income tax(recovery)
The recovery of approximately $20,000 of income taxes in the prior year represented the reassessment of investment tax credits from prior fiscal years in excess of the amount recorded as receivable. Refundable tax credits are recorded as receivable when assessed by taxation authorities.
Net earnings
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect net earnings of approximately $167,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2005 as compared to net earnings of approximately $94,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $73,000, or 78%. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in revenues, partially offset by increases in costs and expenses, generally related to the increase in revenues, as discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of April 30, 2005, our available funds consisted of approximately $183,000 in cash and an operating line of credit of $800,000 with RBC Royal Bank. There was no balance outstanding on the facility at April 30, 2005. The facility is secured by the assets of Navtech-Canada and is due for annual renewal in February 2006.
At April 30, 2005, our working capital had increased by 269% to approximately $561,000 from approximately $152,000 at October 31, 2004.
Cash flows from operationsfor the six months ended April 30, 2005 accounted for a net outflow of approximately $386,000, primarily based on an increase in non-cash working capital of approximately $771,000, offset by the net earnings for the period, depreciation of approximately $96,000 and provision for uncollectable accounts of approximately $101,000. The increase in non-cash working capital was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable related to the timing of invoicing on certain large contracts and higher sales volumes. We expect the accounts receivable balance to decrease from current levels in future quarters.
Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2005 represent a net outflow of approximately $164,000 due to the purchase of capital assets.
Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2005 represent a net inflow of approximately $290,000 due to cash received on the exercise of warrants and employee stock options, partially offset by repayments of capital leases.
At April 30, 2005, we had no significant capital commitments. However, we may, from time to time, consider acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In March 2005, Robert Snyder exercised a warrant for the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.875 per share and James McGinty exercised a warrant for the purchase of 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.875 per share.
