AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the FBO Air, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed on March 29, 2005. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2005 and the results of operations and statements of cash flows for the periods shown not misleading have been included. On March 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of two operating companies and, on September 23, 2005, the Company acquired one other operating company. Accordingly, the Company is no longer considered a development stage entity. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2005. NOTE 2 - Business, Reverse Merger and Acquisitions Effective August 20, 2004, Shadows Bend Development, Inc. ("Shadows Bend"), a Nevada publicly-traded company with no active business, entered into a merger transaction with FBO Air, Inc. ("FBO Air"), a privately-held Arizona corporation. Upon completion of the merger transaction, Shadows Bend changed its name to FBO Air, Inc. and the original FBO Air shareholders owned 75% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Accordingly, this transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger with FBO Air as the acquirer of Shadows Bend. The reverse merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of FBO Air and the stockholders' equity of FBO Air was retroactively restated to its inception on January 17, 2003. FBO Air was formed on January 17, 2003 (date of inception) as a proprietorship to acquire and operate fixed base operators. On January 2, 2004, FBO Air was incorporated in the State of Arizona. Fixed base operators are the primary providers of services to general aviation aircraft operators. The Company's business strategy is to purchase and consolidate fixed base operators in the secondary and tertiary markets located within the United States. 5 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2 - Business, Reverse Merger and Acquisitions, continued On March 31, 2005, FBO Air formed FBO Air-Wilkes-Barre, a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of acquiring the stock of a fixed base operator in Avoca, Pennsylvania (See Note 5). On March 31, 2005, FBO Air-Garden City, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FBO Air, acquired certain operating assets of a fixed base operator located in Garden City, Kansas, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated March 31, 2005 (See Note 5). On September 23, 2005, FBO Air acquired the stock of a fixed based operator, located in Elmira, New York, with an emphasis on the chartering and management of aircraft (See Note 5). The acquisitions of the first two operating companies were made as of March 31, 2005, the last day of the quarterly period ending March 31, 2005. Accordingly, the operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2005 from these first two operating companies are presented within these condensed consolidated statements of operations. The acquisition of the Elmira location was made as of September 23, 2005. These statements reflect operating results from this acquisition for the period September 24, 2005 through September 30, 2005. NOTE 3 - Going Concern and Management's Plans On April 15, 2005, FBO Air closed on its final round of financing in its March and April 2005 private offering, raising gross cash proceeds of approximately $4,490,000. Simultaneously, FBO Air raised $1,250,000 in a related private offering. On September 23, 2005, FBO Air raised $1,500,000 through the issuance of a 180-day term note, the funds from which were substantially applied to fund the acquisition of the Elmira location. Until the March and April 2005 offering funding, the Company's primary source of operating funds since inception had been provided by its founding stockholders and through a convertible note financing. There is no assurance that FBO Air will be able to raise the additional funds sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. 6 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3 - Going Concern and Management's Plans, continued The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had cash of approximately $1,000,000 and had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,788,000. The Company generated revenues of approximately $5,500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company has incurred losses since inception, representing, in the aggregate, operating losses of approximately $1,700,000 for the period from January 17, 2003 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005. Certain of these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect the possible 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 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FBO Air and its wholly-owned subsidiaries FBO Garden City, FBO Wilkes-Barre and, for a period in September, Airborne. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 7 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash: The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the period. At September 30, 2005, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $1,283,802 in excess of federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable: The Company's extends credit to large and mid-side companies for flight related services. The Company has concentrations of credit risk in that 80% of the balance of accounts receivable at any time may be made up of less than ten customers. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility and the allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted accordingly. Management determines collectibility based on their experience and knowledge of the customers. Deferred Financing Costs The costs incurred on March 31, 2005, April 8, 2005 and April 15, 2005 to issue the senior notes payable, the convertible preferred stock and the warrants have been capitalized and have been charged to equity as deferred financing costs. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of aviation fuel and is stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first out method. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Goodwill In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS No. 141"), "Business Combinations", the Company recognized certain intangible assets acquired, primarily goodwill, tradenames and customer relationships. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", on a regular basis, the Company performs impairment analysis of the carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets. 8 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Revenue Recognition Revenue for the sales of products is recognized at the time products are delivered to customers. Revenue for services is recognized at the time the services are performed and provided to customers. The sources of revenue are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable. In addition, service revenue is recognized when the services are rendered. Customer Deposits Customer deposits consist of amounts that customers are required to remit in advance to the Company in order to secure payment for future purchases and services. Depreciation Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Income Taxes As of January 2, 2004 (date of incorporation), the Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109"). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between their financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company was not required to provide for a provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of net operating losses incurred during the period. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has available approximately $1,754,000 of net operating losses ("NOL") available for income tax purposes that may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any. These carryforwards expire in various years through 2025. At September 30, 2005, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $702,000, which consists primarily of temporary differences relating to net operating losses. The Company's deferred tax asset has been fully reserved by a valuation allowance since realization of its benefit is uncertain. The difference between the statutory rate of 35% and the Company's effective tax rate of 0% is due to the increase in the valuation allowance of approximately $381,000. The Company's ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation in future periods pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The reported amounts of our financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of debt approximate fair value since the debt agreements provide for interest rates that approximate market. 9 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Stock Based Compensation/Stock Options As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for equity-based compensation plans, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") for recognizing equity-based compensation expense for financial statement purposes. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized at the time of option grant if the exercise price of the employee stock option is fixed and equals or exceeds the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of such options are known and fixed at the grant date. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"). This standard amended the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method used and the impact on reported results. The Company follows the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 which require disclosure of the pro-forma effects on net income (loss) as if the fair value method of accounting prescribed by SFAS 123 had been adopted, as well as certain other information. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected life of the option. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Under APB 25, no stock-based employee compensation expense relating to the Company's stock option plans was reflected in net loss, as all options granted under its plans had an exercise price equal to or less than the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. 10 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used: Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 ------------- Dividend yield 0% Expected volatility 55% Risk-free interest rate 3.8% Expected lives 2.0 years The weighted average fair value of the options on the date of grant, using the fair value based method, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.27 and $0.07, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $0 and $0, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss had the Company applied the open fair value recognition method under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. (All numbers in 000's Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended except per share data.)

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Common stock equivalents, consisting of options, warrants and convertible preferred stock discussed in the notes to the financial statements, were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have had the effect of decreasing the loss per share otherwise computed. The total shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and the convertible preferred stock as of September 30, 2005 were 21,406,678. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements On September 28, 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in EITF Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes. b) The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled. c) Recognition of deferred taxes for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27 , "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the financial statements). The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 12 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, continued In May 2005, SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3" was issued which, among other things, changes the accounting and reporting requirements for a change in accounting principle and provides guidance on error corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless impracticable to determine the period-specific effects or cumulative effect of the change, and restatement with respect to the reporting of error corrections. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles, and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. At this time, adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to significantly impact the Company's financial statements or future results of operations. In October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share." The EITF reached a consensus that contingently convertible instruments, such as contingently convertible debt, contingently convertible preferred stock, and other such securities should be included in diluted earnings per share (if dilutive) regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. The consensus became effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges Of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment Of APB No. 29 ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 amends APB No. 29 to eliminate the exception of non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expect to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 and APB No. 29 do not apply to the acquisition of non-monetary assets or services on issuance of the capital stock of an entity. Currently, the Company has not had any exchanges of non-monetary assets within the meaning of SFAS 153 and adoption of SFAS 153 has had no effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 13 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, continued In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued its final standard on accounting for share-based payments ("SBP"), FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The statement requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. Under FAS 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. Compensation cost for awards that vest would not be reversed if the awards expire without being exercised.

Accretion of $100,200 and $201,300 was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The Convertible Preferred Stock was recorded at its stated value of $4,242,660, less the discount amount to record the value of the beneficial conversion feature, as outlined below. The terms of the securities issued on March 31, 2005 are described below: Convertible Preferred Stock - Mandatorily Redeemable During February 2005, the Company authorized the issuance of 1,000 shares of preferred stock, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, each share having a Stated Value ("Stated Value") of $5,000.

The cumulative dividend, at the option of the Company, may be paid either in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of the shares of Common Stock shall vote as a single class, with the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock having the number of votes based upon the formula for the conversion to Common Stock, as provided below. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to elect one director to the Company's Board of Directors or to have one observer at Board meetings. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock. The shares shall automatically convert upon (a) the Company's realization of gross proceeds exceeding $5,000,000 from the sale of equity securities (a "Qualified Follow-On Offering"), separate and apart from the March and April 2005 Private Offering, or (b) at such time as the traded price of the Company's Common Stock exceeds 2.5 times the Initial Conversion Price ("Conversion Price") for a period of 20 consecutive trading days and during such period the trading volume each day has exceeded 200,000 shares, and under both (a) and (b), the shares subject to conversion are fully registered shares.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 10 - Private Placement, continued Convertible Preferred Stock - Mandatorily Redeemable, continued Subject to certain adjustments, as provided in the agreement, the Conversion Price is $0.30 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock will convert into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. In the case of a mandatory conversion on account of a Qualified Follow-on Offering, then at the option of the holder, the shares shall be converted at (a) the Conversion Price, or (b) at the same price that such securities are being sold in such Qualified Follow-On Offering, with the holder, in this case, also receiving a premium of an additional 10% in the number of such shares.

On the third anniversary of the original date of issue of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem for cash all remaining outstanding shares at a redemption price equal to the aggregate Stated Value, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive 115% of the stated value of each share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Beneficial Conversion Feature Under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders may convert these securities into Common Stock of the Company at a fixed price of $0.30, subject to certain adjustments. At March 31, 2005, the date of issuance, this fixed conversion price represents a discount to the market value of the Company's Common Stock, which was a quoted price of $1.75 per share. This difference in price is considered a benefit of the conversion feature in the security. This benefit was calculated and its value exceeded the face amount of the issued Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company is required to record the value of this beneficial conversion feature, but at an amount not greater than the face amount of the related Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company has recorded this beneficial conversion feature discount of approximately $4,243,000 as a reduction to the Convertible Preferred Stock and as a credit to additional paid in capital. The beneficial conversion feature discount to the Convertible Preferred Stock will be accreted to its stated value over a three-year period and $356,500 and $709,125 in accretion of discount was recorded for the three and nine-months periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. 23 FBO AIR, INC.

The secured note may be prepaid at any time. The Company has been granted a security interest in all tangible property, goods and accounts of the Maker. Further, the Company has been granted an option to purchase the FBO owned by Maker, such option to expire one year from date of grant of option. The Company expects to apply this loan against a potential acquisition and therefore has classified the loan as a non-current asset on the accompanying balance sheet. Consulting Agreement The Company entered into a six-month engagement agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") with a financial advisor in April 2004, whereby the financial advisor will provide advisory services for financial structuring and planning, bridge financing, special situation transactional services and private equity financing. The Consulting Agreement calls for an initial fee of $15,000 plus $5,000 per month for six months, payable after the closing of the first fixed base operator acquisition. Included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2005 is an obligation of $45,000 pursuant to this Consulting Agreement. 28 FBO AIR, INC.

Litigation In early 2005, the Company was served with a complaint which names the Company, among others, as a defendant in a suit brought by a broker dealer, seeking approximately $100,000 in damages arising from Shadows Bend canceling a stock certificate in the year 2002. Captioned Institutional Capital Management, Inc. vs Michael W. Sciacchetano, et. al., the suit is currently pending in the 215th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas. On March 28, 2005, the Company filed a general denial. Discovery is in the initial stages and trial is set for February 2006. The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. On May 19, 2005, New World Aviation, Inc. ("New World") instituted an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned "New World Aviation, Inc., Plaintiff, against Robert J. Ettinger, individually, and FBO Air, Inc., Defendants." Since April 1, 2005, Mr. Ettinger has been a Vice Chairman of the Board and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company and, since March 31, 2005, a director of the Company. Until March 25, 2005, when he resigned, Mr. Ettinger had served as President (since October 15, 1998) of New World. In its amended complaint New World is seeking (a) to enjoin the Defendants from soliciting New World's clients and employees allegedly using the confidential information which Mr. Ettinger learned in his "high-level position with New World" and (b) damages in an amount to be determined at trial against Mr. Ettinger for his alleged breach of fiduciary duties to New World. On June 20, 2005, the Company answered the complaint, asserting as affirmative defenses that (a) New World had forced Mr. Ettinger's resignation by reneging on its promise to pay him a bonus for 2004, (b) New World has unclean hands, (c) the identity of actual and potential New World clients is available from publicly available records, (d) any putative damages sustained by New World were caused by New World and third parties and (2) New World's claims are barred by the statute of fraud. Mr. Ettinger also filed a counterclaim against New World for $25,000 relating to the 2004 bonus, to which New World has asserted five affirmative defenses. 30 FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 13 - Commitments and Contingencies, continued Litigation, continued On September 6, 2005, the court denied New World's motion for preliminary injunctive relief, which sought to bar the Company from soliciting New World's customers or employees. The court also denied the Company's motion for summary judgment. Despite such denial, based on the opinion of Wachtel & Masyr, LLP, its trial counsel, the Company is the opinion that the likelihood of an adverse judgment against the Company or Mr. Ettinger is remote. 31 Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation Please read the following discussion together with the condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. This Item 2 contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. Actual results may differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth at the end of this Item 2 of Part I under the heading "Cautionary Statement For Forward Looking Statements", as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Report. Unless otherwise specified or the context requires otherwise, the terms "we", "us", "our", "FBO Air" and the "Company" refer to FBO Air, Inc. OVERVIEW On April 15, 2005, we completed a private offering and a related private placement raising gross proceeds of $4,448,975 and $1,250,000, respectively. Also on March 31, 2005, we completed two acquisitions of operating companies, in conjunction with our acquisition growth strategy, and became an operating company. On September 23, 2005, we completed our third acquisition funded in part through the issuance of debt of $1,500,000 and the issuance of common stock valued at $630,000. In the sections below, we have outlined our history, and we further explain our financing and acquisition programs. Our History We completed a reverse merger transaction on August 20, 2004 with Shadows Bend Development, Inc. ("Shadows Bend"), a Nevada corporation. Prior to the merger, Shadows Bend had been pursuing a business plan to acquire, develop and operate "specialty care" facilities designed to help people diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other related illnesses. This business model was effectively abandoned in December 2002. The directors and management of FBO Air, Inc. upon consummation of the merger became the directors and management of Shadows Bend. On August 20, 2004, we changed our corporate name to FBO Air, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 26, 2004, between Shadows Bend and FBO Air, Inc. The merger agreement was approved by a written consent of stockholders of Shadows Bend holding more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Shadows Bend's common stock, $0.001 par value. FBO Air was formed initially as a proprietorship on January 17, 2003. On January 2, 2004, FBO Air was incorporated in the State of Arizona. For accounting purposes, FBO Air was the acquirer in the August 2004 reverse merger transaction, and consequently the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of the Company. FBO Air's financial statements are the historical financial statements of the post-merger entity. 32 OVERVIEW - continued Our goal is to establish a national network of fixed based operators ("FBOs") through purchasing and consolidating FBOs in the secondary and tertiary markets within the United States. FBOs are the primary providers of services, such as fueling, parking of aircraft, maintenance and repair, to general aviation aircraft operators. We believe that the fixed based operator industry is comprised of only three major players. Each of these companies are pursuing strategies to consolidate FBOs holdings in primary market locations. The balance of the industry, in our opinion, is very highly fragmented and served by over 3,000 operators who own FBOs and serve customers at one or more of the almost 3,400 airport facilities across the country that have at least one paved 3,000-foot runway. The vast majority of these independent operators are single location operators. These operators are, in our opinion, relatively unsophisticated, frequently under-capitalized, and, in many instances, seek an exit strategy. It is these operators that are the prime targets of the Company's consolidation strategy. The Company believes that, as it obtains a national presence in the fixed base operator business, it will be the beneficiary of better jet fuel purchasing terms and may be able to secure favorable landing rights service contracts for the several major fractional jet ownership companies. There can be no assurance that we shall achieve any or all of these benefits. Critical Accounting Policies Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, product and content development expenses, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The critical accounting policies which we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are included within the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements incorporated within Part I, Item 1 of this Report. 33 Going Concern The accompanying financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. On April 15, 2005, FBO Air closed on the third of three rounds of financing in a private offering and a related private placement, raising total gross cash proceeds of approximately $5,700,000. Until the March 2005 and April 2005 offering and private placement fundings, the Company's primary source of operating funds since inception had been provided by its founding shareholders and through convertible note financing. On September 23, 2005, the Company raised an additional $1,500,000 through the issuance of a term loan and warrants. There is no assurance that FBO Air will be able to raise the additional funds sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of $1,788,245, and cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,002,365. On March 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of two fixed based operator companies and became an operating company, generating revenues of approximately $5,565,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company has incurred losses since inception, representing, in the aggregate, operating losses of approximately $1,900,000 for the period from January 17, 2003 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005. Certain of these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Report do not reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Proposed Acquisitions The Company has negotiated and issued a letter of intent for the potential purchase of a FBO located in the southern region of the country, requiring a combination of cash, stock, and notes totaling approximately $2.8 million. There can be no assurance that this acquisition will be consummated. During May 2005, Company made a secured six-month loan in the amount of $350,000 to the FBO located in the southern region of the country ("Maker"), as discussed above. The secured note bears interest at 10% per annum and such interest only shall be paid quarterly, starting upon the three month anniversary of the secured note. The secured note may be prepaid at any time. The Company has been granted a security interest in all tangible property, goods and accounts of the Maker. Further, the Company has been granted an option to purchase the FBO owned by Maker, such option to expire one year from date of grant of option. The Company expects to apply this loan against a potential acquisition and therefore has classified the loan as a non-current asset on the accompanying balance sheet. 34 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The acquisitions of the two operating companies were made as of March 31, 2005. On September 23, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of Airborne, Inc. ("Airborne"), its third operating company acquisition. As such, the Company has operating results to report only from April 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005. Prior to March 31, 2005, the Company was in the development stage, and its operations consisted solely of the administrative costs of organizing, raising capital and seeking and qualifying acquisition targets consistent with the Company's growth strategy. Reporting as an operating company began on April 1, 2005. The Company's revenues and gross profit from fixed based operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were approximately $3,406,201 and $989,779, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,324,646 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, of which $900,374 was attributable to the operating costs of the fixed based operations and $424,272 was attributable to corporate administrative costs. The Company's revenues and gross profit from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $5,565,068 and $1,706,525, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,722,063 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, of which $1,571,417 was attributable to the costs of operations and $1,150,646 was attributable to corporate administrative costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the gross profit margin was 29%, as compared to 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decline in the gross profit margin percentage of 2% is attributable, partly to a shift in product mix and partly to an increase in fuel costs. Corporate administrative costs were $424,272 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $282,265 over the amount of $142,007 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries of approximately $117,000 for the additional Company officers hired on March 31, 2005 and $52,000 attributable to professional fees related to new operations. Corporate administrative costs were approximately $1,150,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $1,008,639 over the amount of $142,007 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries of approximately $305,000 for the additional Company officers hired on March 31, 2005 and $159,000 attributable to professional fees related to new operations. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $147,785 and $298,993, respectively, versus interest expense of $3,991 and $6,128 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. This increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the interest related to the $1,496,000 in senior secured notes issued by the Company on March 31, 2005. 35 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On March 31, 2005, FBO Air closed on its first round of financing in its private offering, raising gross cash proceeds of approximately $3,200,000. Simultaneously FBO Air raised $1,250,000 in a related private offering. FBO Air raised additional funds of $1,200,000 and $90,000 in second and final rounds of financing closed on April 8, 2005 and April 15, 2005, respectively. Until the March 31 offering funding, the Company's primary source of operating funds since inception had been provided by its founding shareholders and through convertible note financing. On September 23, 2005, the Company issued a note payable with a face value of $1,500,000 which matures in 180 days from September 23, 2005. The Company can extend the maturity date to September 23, 2006. Airborne granted the holder a security interest in its accounts receivable, all of its deposit accounts, all monies now and hereafter in the possession or under the control of Airborne or the Company and all products and proceeds of the foregoing personal property. The Company's chairman of the board and an entity owned by one of its other directors are members of the holder's entity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $988,248. The Company's sources and uses of funds during this period were as follows: Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,333,848. This was primarily driven by a net loss of $1,302,339, an increase in accounts receivable of $651,544, and a decrease in accounts payable $506,549. Net cash used in operations was reduced by the effect of increases in customer deposits of $472,791 and accrued expenses of $418,484. These changes in cash used in operating activities are all attributable to the operations that were acquired on March 31, 2005 and September 23, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in operating activities was $204,313. This was attributable to a net loss of $403,330 offset by approximately $69,000 in the compensatory element of stock issuances and an increase of $146,191 in the accounts payable. Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4,402,000. This was attributable primarily to FBO Air's purchase of two fixed base operating companies on March 31, 2005 for $2,555,000 and on September 23, 2005, the purchase of a fixed base operator with an emphasis on the chartering and management of aircraft, requiring cash of $1,400,000. In addition, the Company invested $350,000 in a secured note receivable with a fixed base operator who is a potential acquisition target of the Company ("Maker"). The secured note bears interest at 10% per annum and such interest only shall be paid quarterly, starting upon the three month anniversary of the secured note. The secured note may be prepaid at any time. The Company has been granted a security interest in all tangible property, goods and accounts of the Maker. Further, the Company has been granted an option to purchase the FBO owned by Maker, such option to expire one year from date of grant of option. The Company expects to apply this loan against a potential acquisition and therefore has classified the loan as a non-current asset on the accompanying balance sheet. 36 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued On March 31, 2005, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of Tech Aviation, Inc. ("Tech Aviation"), a fixed base operator conducting business in the Northeast. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid cash at closing of approximately $2,256,000, applied a deposit of $10,000 and issued notes payable to the Tech Aviation shareholders aggregating a discounted value of approximately $433,000. The terms of the notes provide for payments of $100,000 payable annually for each of five years on the anniversary of the closing. Interest on these notes was imputed at an annual rate of 5% per annum. On March 31, 2005, the Company purchased certain assets of Central Plains Aviation, Inc. ("Central Plains"), a fixed base operator conducting business in Kansas. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid cash at closing of $466,000, and issued a note payable to the Central Plains shareholder for $240,000. This note matures in September 2006 and is payable in quarterly installments beginning on March 31, 2005, bearing an interest rate of 5% per annum. On September 23, 2005, the Company purchased 100% of the stock of Airborne a fixed base operator with an emphasis on the chartering and management of aircraft conducting business in the Northeast. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid cash of $1,400,000 and issued 2,333,334 shares of common stock valued at $630,000 at closing aggregating $2,030,000. Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,724,137. On March 31, April 8, and April 15, 2005, we received net funds aggregating approximately $5,231,000 through our private placement consisting of the issuance of $1,496,000 of senior secured notes, the issuance of $4,243,000 of convertible preferred stock and the issuance of warrants for the purchase 3,618,000 of the Company's common stock, less issuance expenses paid in cash at closing of $508,000. During February 2005, we issued convertible notes of $20,000. On September 22, 2005, we raised $1,500,000 through the issuance of term loans and warrants. As of September 30, 2005, FBO Air had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,788,245. The Company issued a note payable with a face value of $1,500,000 which matures in 180 days from September 23, 2005. The annual interest rate is 4.25% until the initial maturity date, however the Company can extend the maturity date to September 23, 2006 with an interest rate of 9.25% per annum. Airborne granted the holder a security interest in its accounts receivable, all of its deposit accounts, all monies now and hereafter in the possession or under the control of Airborne or the Company and all products and proceeds of the foregoing personal property. The Company's chairman of the board and an entity owned by one of its other directors are members of the holder's entity. 37 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued On March 31, April 8 and April 15, 2005, we issued Senior Secured Notes with a face value of approximately $1,496,000, which are due in three years, on March 31, 2008; bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum; are payable quarterly, are secured by the current and to be acquired assets of the Company and its present and future subsidiaries; and are subject to certain covenants of the Company. On March 31, April 8 and April 15, 2005, we sold approximately $4,243,000, or 846 shares, of our mandatorily redeemable Series A convertible preferred stock, which was authorized during February 2005. On March 31, April 8 and April 15, 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock aggregating approximately 3,618,000 to investors and 1,296,000 to the placement agent. Each warrant provides a five-year right to purchase a share of the Company's Common Stock at the initial exercise price (the "Warrant Exercise Price") of $0.60 per share, with such price and the number of shares to be adjusted in the event of stock splits and certain other events, as provided in the agreement, and upon the sale by the Company of additional equity securities at a price below the Warrant Exercise Price. At the option of the Company, the Warrants may be redeemed at any time, in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per share provided that: (a) there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant shares; (b) the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Stock for the prior 20 trading days is not less than 250% of the Warrant Exercise Price; and (c) the average daily trading volume of the Company's Common Stock is not less than 200,000 shares per day during such 20-day trading period. In April 2004, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement with a group of investors ("Investors") to purchase five-year, 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000. In April 2004, the Investors funded the sale of the initial $130,000 of convertible notes under the agreement. During August 2004, October 2004, November 2004, December 2004 and January 2005, the Investors waived one provision under their agreement and funded the sale of $125,000, $45,000, $40,000, $40,000 and $20,000, respectively, of convertible notes under the agreement, representing funding of the full amount. On March 31, 2005, the holders converted the entire $400,000 in convertible notes into 4,018,376 shares of the Common Stock. 38 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued During February 2005, the Company authorized the issue of 1,000 shares of preferred stock, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Convertible Preferred Stock"), each share having a Stated Value ("Stated Value") of $5,000. These shares provide for cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly and mature three years from the date of issue. The cumulative dividend, at the option of the Company, may be paid either in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of the shares of Common Stock shall vote as a single class, with the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock having the number of votes based upon the formula for the conversion to Common Stock, as provided below. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to elect one director to the Company's Board of Directors or to have one observer at Board meetings. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock. The shares shall automatically convert upon (a) the Company's realization of gross proceeds exceeding $5,000,000 from the sale of equity securities (a "Qualified Follow-On Offering"), separate and apart from the March and April 2005 Private Offerings, or (b) at such time as the traded price of the Company's Common Stock exceeds 2.5 times the Initial Conversion Price ("Conversion Price"), and under both (a) and (b), the shares subject to conversion are fully registered shares. At the option of the holder, the shares, in whole or in part, may be converted at any time. Subject to certain adjustments, as provided in the agreement, the Conversion Price is $0.30 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock will convert into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. In the case of a mandatory conversion on account of a Qualified Follow-on Offering, then at the option of the holder, the shares shall be converted at (a) the Conversion Price or (b) at the same price that such securities are being sold in such Qualified Follow-On Offering, with the holder, in this case, also receiving a premium of an additional 10% in the number of such shares. Under certain conditions whereupon the Company sells shares of Common Stock at a price below the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, as provided for in the agreement. On the third anniversary of the original date of issue of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem for cash all remaining outstanding shares at a redemption price equal to the aggregate Stated Value, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive 115% of the stated value of each share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company's stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") under the symbol FBOR. The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter ("OTC") equity securities. Prior to December 21, 2004, the stock had been traded on the Pink Sheets. 39 On the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the risk factors more fully discussed below, we believe that based upon the cash on hand and resources available, the Company will require additional debt or equity capital to fund operations past the remainder of this calendar year. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" may contain information that includes or is based upon certain "forward-looking statements" relating to our business. These forward-looking statements represent management's current judgment and assumptions, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are frequently accompanied by the use of such words as "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "expects," "projects," "intends," and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including, while it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks, uncertainties, and other factors, those relating to: o our ability to secure the additional financing adequate to execute our business plan; o our ability to identify, negotiate and complete the acquisition of targeted operators, consistent with our business plan; o existing or new competitors consolidating operators ahead of the Company; o we may be unable to attract new personnel, which would adversely affect implementation of our overall business strategy. o the success of our investor relations program to create and sustain interest and liquidity in our stock, which is currently thinly traded on the OTCBB; Any one of these or other risks, uncertainties, other factors, or any inaccurate assumptions may cause actual results to be materially different from those described herein or elsewhere by us. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. Certain of these risks, uncertainties, and other factors may be described in greater detail in our filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we strongly urge you to read and consider. Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above and elsewhere in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements. 40 Item 3 - Controls and Procedures The Company's principal executive officer, who is also the acting principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. The evaluation process, including the inherent limitations on the effectiveness of such controls and procedures is more fully discussed below. Based upon his evaluation, the principal executive officer, who is also the acting principal financial officer, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, although containing a material weakness, were effective. This material weakness is the lack of the necessary corporate accounting resources. On March 31, 2005, the Company completed the first two acquisitions of its business plan and on September 23, 2005, we completed the third acquisition. The Company has limited accounting personnel and is currently building its accounting infrastructure. In the meantime, the Company employs a financial consultant who works closely with the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other senior managers of the organization to gather the required information and to prepare the periodic financial statement and public filings. Reliance on these limited resources impairs our ability to provide for segregation of duties and the ability to ensure consistently complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures. Our Company's Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective, even though there is the foregoing material weakness. This conclusion is based upon the following factors: (1) the broad business experience of our Chief Executive Officer, (2) The effective utilization of a senior level financial consultant and (3) the limited scope of our operations at this early stage in the Company's development. The Company is currently seeking to hire a qualified full time Chief Financial Officer. In addition, as the Company grows, and as resources permit, we project that the new Chief Financial Officer will hire such additional competent financial personnel to assist in the segregation of duties with respect to financial reporting, and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance. We believe that, for the reasons described above, we will be able to improve our financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and remedy the material weakness identified above. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. Except as described above, there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 41 Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that such controls and procedures are effective at the "reasonable assurance" level. 42 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings In early 2005, the Company was served with a complaint which names the Company, among others, as a defendant in a suit brought by a broker dealer, seeking approximately $100,000 in damages arising from Shadows Bend canceling a stock certificate in the year 2002. Captioned Institutional Capital Management, Inc. vs Michael W. Sciacchetano, et. at., the suit is currently pending in the 215th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas. On March 28, 2005, the Company filed a general denial. Discovery is in the initial stages and trial is set for February 2006. The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. On May 19, 2005, New World Aviation, Inc. ("New World") instituted an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned "New World Aviation, Inc., Plaintiff, against Robert J. Ettinger, individually, and FBO Air, Inc., Defendants." Since April 1, 2005, Mr. Ettinger has been a Vice Chairman of the Board and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company and, since March 31, 2005, a director of the Company. Until March 25, 2005, when he resigned, Mr. Ettinger had served as President (since October 15, 1998) of New World. In its amended complaint New World is seeking (a) to enjoin the Defendants from soliciting New World's clients and employees allegedly using the confidential information which Mr. Ettinger learned in his "high-level position with New World" and (b) damages in an amount to be determined at trial against Mr. Ettinger for his alleged breach of fiduciary duties to New World. On June 20, 2005, the Company answered the complaint, asserting as affirmative defenses that (a) New World had forced Mr. Ettinger's resignation by reneging on its promise to pay him a bonus for 2004, (b) New World has unclean hands, (c) the identity of actual and potential New World clients is available from publicly available records, (d) any putative damages sustained by New World were caused by New World and third parties and (2) New World's claims are barred by the statute of fraud. Mr. Ettinger also filed a counterclaim against New World for $25,000 relating to the 2004 bonus, to which New World has asserted five affirmative defenses. On September 6, 2005, the court denied New World's motion for preliminary injunctive relief, which sought to bar the Company from soliciting New World's customers or employees. The court also denied the Company's motion for summary judgment. Despite such denial, based on the opinion of Wachtel & Masyr, LLP, its trial counsel, the Company is of the opinion that the likelihood of an adverse judgment against the Company or Mr. Ettinger is remote. 43 Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds 1. Option Grant (a) On September 23, 2005, the Board of Directors granted an option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Common Stock. (b) There were no underwriters. An option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Common Stock was granted to John H. Dow pursuant to his employment agreement with Airborne and the Company. (c) The option was not issued for cash and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions. As indicated in subsection (b) above, the option was issued in consideration of the services to be performed under the Dow Employment Agreement for the Company and its subsidiaries by this officer of Airborne. (d) The Company claims that the grant of this option was exempt from the registration requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering. The optionee represented to the Company that he was acquiring the option, and, if not registered under the Securities Act at the time, the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the option, for investment, and not with a view toward, or in connection with, a distribution (as the term "distribution") is contemplated under the Securities Act). (e) The option is exercisable at $.33 per share, the closing sales price on September 22, 2005. The option is exercisable, from time to time in its entirety or in part, until September 22, 2010. The option will be made subject to the Company's stock option plan when adopted. (f) Not applicable. 2. Lender's Warrant (a) On September 23, 2005, the Company issued a warrant expiring September 22, 2010 (the "Lender's Warrant") to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock. A copy of the Lender's Warrant is filed as Exhibit 4.6 to this Report and is incorporated herein. (b) There was no underwriter with respect to the issuance of the Lender's Warrant. The Lender's Warrant was issued to Airport Capital, LLC (i.e., the Lender). (c) The Lender's Warrant was issued in consideration of the Lender making a loan of $1,500,000 to the Company. (d) The Company claims that the issuance of the Lender's Warrant was exempt from the registration requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering. The Lender represented to the Company that it was acquiring the Lender's Warrant, and, unless registered under the Securities Act at the time of exercise, the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Lender's Warrant, for investment and not with a view toward, or in connection with, any distribution of securities of the Company (as the term "distribution" is contemplated under the Securities Act). 44 (e) The Lender's Warrant will be exercisable at $.60 per share (the "Exercise Price") subject to adjustment. The Exercise Price will be adjusted on a weighted average basis for (i) all stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, payments made to holders of the Common Stock and other similar events and (ii) the sale by the Company of additional equity securities at a price below the Exercise Price, whichever is applicable. These anti-dilution provisions are the same as were contained in the warrants included in units sold to investors in the Company's private placement closed in March and April of 2005. The form of these investor warrants is filed (by incorporation by reference) as Exhibit 4.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by this reference. (f) Not applicable. 45 Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders In connection with the previously reported acquisition of the outstanding shares of Airborne, Inc., which closed on September 23, 2005, the Company was required to secure the consents from the holders of at least 50.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), to consummating the acquisition. The Company obtained the consents from the holders of 435 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, or 50.3% of the 846 outstanding shares. Item 5. Other Information none. 46 Item 6.
