AIRNET SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
AirNet Systems, Inc. (“AirNet”) is a specialty air carrier for time-sensitive deliveries, operating between most major cities in the United States of America (“U.S.”) each working day. AirNet is the leading transporter of cancelled checks and related information for the U.S. banking industry. AirNet also provides specialized, high-priority delivery services to customers, primarily those involved in the life sciences and media and entertainment industries. During the first nine months of 2006, AirNet also provided private passenger charter services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jetride, Inc. (“Jetride”). The Jetride passenger charter business was sold on September 26, 2006 as described in Note 3 below.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AirNet and its subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the instructions for Form 10-Q. The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in AirNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods.
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 those financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position No. AUG-AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities” (“FSP AUG-AIR-1”). FSP AUG-AIR-1 provides guidance on the accounting for planned major maintenance activities in the airline industry. The guidance is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. AirNet has evaluated the guidance provided in FSP AUG-AIR-1 and has determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of AirNet’s financial results.
2. Major Bank Services Customers
AirNet depends on certain major Bank Services customers for a large portion of AirNet’s net revenues and changes in the services provided to these customers may have a significant impact on AirNet’s operating results. If a major Bank Services customer significantly reduces the amount of business it does with AirNet, there would be an adverse impact on AirNet’s operating results. For each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, AirNet had five Bank Services customers that aggregated approximately 38% of total net revenues, one of which comprised approximately 11% of total net revenues in each of these periods.
As a result of Bank Services customers continued transition to image products and other electronic alternatives to the physical movement of cancelled checks, cancelled check pounds shipped per flying day declined approximately 27% and 26%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Cancelled check pounds shipped per flying day declined approximately 9% and 8%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. AirNet expects the decline in cancelled checks volume to continue in 2007 and thereafter.
3. Discontinued Operations
On July 26, 2006, AirNet, Jetride, and Pinnacle Air, LLC (“Pinnacle”) entered into a purchase agreement regarding the sale of Jetride’s passenger charter business to Pinnacle (the “Purchase Agreement”). The sale was completed on

Table of Contents

September 26, 2006. The purchase price was $41.0 million in cash, of which $40.0 million was consideration for the sale of nine company-owned aircraft and related engine maintenance programs and $1.0 million was consideration for the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of a newly-created subsidiary of Jetride, also called Jetride, Inc. (“New Jetride”). Upon completion of the sale transaction, Jetride amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to 7250 STARCHECK, INC. Of the total consideration, $40.0 million was paid at closing and $1.0 million was paid into escrow to cover indemnification claims which may be made by Pinnacle for up to eighteen months after the closing. To the extent the escrow amount is not used to satisfy indemnification claims, the escrow amount is to be released to AirNet in two installments approximately six and twelve months after the closing. In March 2007, $500,000 of the escrowed amount was released to AirNet. AirNet retained the net working capital of the Jetride passenger charter business, which was approximately $2.2 million as of the closing date. In connection with the closing of the sale transaction, Jetride repaid in full six term loans which had been secured by aircraft used in Jetride’s passenger charter business. The aggregate principal amount of the loans repaid was approximately $28.2 million plus accrued interest and early termination prepayment penalties of approximately $0.3 million through the repayment date. Following repayment of Jetride’s loans and expenses related to the transaction, AirNet used the remaining sale proceeds to further reduce debt outstanding under AirNet’s secured revolving credit facility. AirNet’s lenders under the secured revolving credit facility had consented to the sale of the Jetride passenger charter business and the various transactions necessary to complete the sale.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” AirNet has classified the assets and liabilities of Passenger Charter Services as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations and presented this operating segment’s results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As a result of the disposition of Passenger Charter Services, AirNet has only one reportable segment.
Revenues from Passenger Charter Services, included in discontinued operations, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 were approximately $5.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
4. Stock Plans and Awards
At June 30, 2007, AirNet had two stock-based employee and director compensation plans, the Amended and Restated 1996 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Through December 31, 2005, AirNet accounted for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Effective January 1, 2006, AirNet adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. FAS 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, as AirNet formerly did, using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
AirNet adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. AirNet’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 reflect the impact of adopting FAS 123(R).
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of each of those respective dates, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with FAS 123(R). As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Impact of the Adoption of FAS 123(R)
Currently, AirNet uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and directors for purposes of computing the stock-based compensation expense and disclosures required by FAS 123(R). During the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, AirNet recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $47,000 and $28,000, respectively (approximately $46,000 and $17,000, net of tax, respectively) related to the vesting of outstanding stock options according to the provisions of FAS 123(R). During the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, AirNet recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $103,000 and $58,000, respectively (approximately $99,000 and $35,000, net of tax, respectively) related to the vesting of outstanding stock options according to the provisions of FAS 123(R).
The fair value of the stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were grants of stock options under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan covering 16,000 common shares during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and no grants for the comparable period in 2006. Total unamortized stock-based compensation expense for outstanding stock options was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a period of 4.0 years.

Common shares subject to outstanding stock options excluded from the adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding calculation were approximately 484,000 and 782,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These stock options were antidilutive and excluded from the calculation because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than the average fair market value of the underlying common shares in the respective periods.
6. Bank Financing Matters
Revolving Credit Facility – Second Amended Credit Agreement — March 29, 2007
On March 29, 2007, AirNet and its lender (The Huntington National Bank) amended and restated the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 2004, among The Huntington National Bank and Bank One, N.A., as lenders, and AirNet, as borrower (as amended and restated, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The following description of the Second Amended Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended Credit Agreement previously filed as Exhibit 4.50 in AirNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $15.0 million secured revolving credit facility and expires on October 15, 2008. The Second Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the property of AirNet, other than any interest in real estate and

certain excluded fixed assets. The stock and interests of AirNet’s subsidiaries continue to be pledged to secure the loans under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, and each of AirNet’s subsidiaries continues to guarantee AirNet’s obligations under the Second Amended Credit Agreement under a Consent and Agreement of Guarantors. The amount of revolving loans available under the Second Amended Credit Agreement is limited to a borrowing base equal to the aggregate of 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 50% of eligible aircraft parts. The amount available under the Second Amended Credit Agreement is also reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended Credit Agreement bears interest, at AirNet’s option, at (a) a fixed rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement, or (b) a floating rate based on the greater of (i) the prime rate established by The Huntington National Bank from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio or (ii) the sum of 0.5% plus the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio.
The Second Amended Credit Agreement permits AirNet to maintain and incur other indebtedness in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing aircraft and related tangible fixed assets. The Second Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require AirNet to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and to not exceed certain fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios specified in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains limitations on operating leases, significant corporate changes including mergers and sales of assets, investments in subsidiaries and acquisitions, liens, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, sales of accounts receivable, sale and leaseback transactions and other off-balance sheet liabilities, contingent obligations and hedging transactions.
As of June 30, 2007, approximately $2.5 million was outstanding under the Second Amended Credit Agreement which is included in “Notes payable, less current portion” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2007, AirNet had approximately $1.0 million in standby letters of credit outstanding related to insurance programs, which reduced the amount available under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2007, AirNet had approximately $11.5 million available to borrow under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
As described below, on April 11, 2007, AirNet borrowed approximately $7.5 million under its revolving credit facility to repay in full AirNet’s term loan.
Other Term Loan
On March 24, 2005, AirNet entered into an $11.0 million three-year term loan with a fixed interest rate of 8.12%. This term loan was secured by seven Cessna Caravans and nine Learjet 35 aircraft from AirNet’s cargo aircraft fleet. On April 11, 2007, AirNet repaid in full the $7.5 million principal balance outstanding under the term loan with borrowings from AirNet’s revolving credit facility. In addition to the outstanding principal amount, AirNet paid approximately $0.1 million in accrued interest and early termination prepayment penalties. Upon repayment in full, the term loan was terminated in accordance with its terms.
Term Loans – Discontinued Operations
In connection with the closing of the sale of the Jetride passenger charter business on September 26, 2006, Jetride repaid in full six term loans which had been (a) secured by aircraft used in the Jetride passenger charter business, and (b) guaranteed by AirNet. In June 2004, Jetride entered into four of the term loans, each with a seven-year term and a fixed interest rate of approximately 6.7%. In July 2004, Jetride entered into the other two term loans, each with a seven-year term and a fixed interest rate of approximately 6.5%. As of September 26, 2006, there was an aggregate principal amount of approximately $28.2 million outstanding under the six loans. In addition to the outstanding principal amount, Jetride paid approximately $0.3 million in accrued interest and early termination prepayment penalties through the repayment date. Each of the loan documents and corresponding security and guaranty agreements entered into in connection with the six term loans was terminated upon repayment of the underlying term loans at the closing.
7. Income Taxes
As required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”), AirNet establishes a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.
As of June 30, 2007, AirNet’s deferred tax assets substantially consisted of an approximately $10 million asset related to lower book versus tax carrying values of its aircraft assets primarily attributable to the book impairment charges

Table of Contents

recognized in the prior periods that are not currently deductible for tax purposes and approximately $1.2 million related to net operating loss and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards generated in prior periods. AirNet has determined that as of June 30, 2007, the “more likely than not” threshold under SFAS No. 109 has not been met and, therefore, has provided a full valuation allowance of approximately $10.9 million against its remaining net deferred tax assets.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, net deferred tax assets decreased by approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and the valuation allowance was reduced by the same amount. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the federal statutory income tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to the net change in the valuation allowance.
The difference between the effective income tax rate and the federal statutory income tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to changes in the valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforwards and Alternative Minimum Tax Credit carryforwards.
Effective January 1, 2007, AirNet adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on AirNet’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
AirNet’s policy is to recognize interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes in interest expense and any related statutory penalties in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations. AirNet is open to federal and state tax audits until the applicable statute of limitations expire. Tax audits by their nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. AirNet is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2003. For the majority of states where AirNet has a significant presence, it is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2002.
On December 31, 2006, AirNet filed for a discretionary income tax method change with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The discretionary method change requires IRS approval prior to the change being effective. As required by SFAS No. 109, the effect of the method change will be reported in the period in which IRS approval is obtained; therefore, AirNet has not reflected the anticipated impact of the method change in the June 30, 2007 financial statements. There is no certainty as to what extent or if the IRS will ultimately approve the elected method change as requested. However, if the method change is approved, it could materially reduce AirNet’s current taxes payable, its deferred tax assets and the need for the associated valuation allowance, and provide a significant refund of estimated taxes previously paid.
8. Aircraft Dispositions
On January 10, 2007, one of AirNet’s Learjets was damaged and subsequently declared not airworthy. AirNet received insurance proceeds of approximately $1.2 million on April 19, 2007 related to this loss. The gain on disposition of aircraft primarily reflects the excess of insurance proceeds over the net book value of this Learjet.
In February 2006, AirNet decided to market for sale all nine of the Cessna 310 Piston cargo aircraft as a result of the need to reduce its airline capacity and operating costs. At that date, AirNet determined that the plan of sale criteria of SFAS No. 144 had been met. The carrying value of the assets was determined to approximate the estimated fair value less cost to sell, based on recent aircraft appraisals. In November 2006, AirNet entered into an agreement to sell all nine of its Cessna 310 aircraft for approximately $0.5 million. AirNet delivered seven aircraft in the first quarter of 2007 and delivered the two remaining aircraft in June 2007.

General
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. AirNet maintains a thorough process to review the application of its accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates; however, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. Certain estimates that have a significant effect on quarterly results, such as incentive compensation expense and the effective income tax rates, could require substantial adjustments from quarter to quarter due to changes in estimates of net income (loss) for the year.

Sale of Jetride’s Passenger Charter Business
On July 26, 2006, AirNet, Jetride, and Pinnacle Air, LLC (“Pinnacle”) entered into a purchase agreement regarding the sale of Jetride’s passenger charter business to Pinnacle (the “Purchase Agreement”). The sale was completed on September 26, 2006. The purchase price was $41.0 million in cash, of which $40.0 million was consideration for the sale of nine company-owned aircraft and related engine maintenance programs and $1.0 million was consideration for the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of a newly-created subsidiary of Jetride, also called Jetride, Inc. (“New Jetride”). Upon completion of the sale transaction, Jetride amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to 7250 STARCHECK, INC. Of the total consideration, $40.0 million was paid at closing and $1.0 million was paid into escrow to cover indemnification claims which may be made by Pinnacle for up to eighteen months after the closing. To the extent the escrow amount is not used to satisfy indemnification claims, the escrow amount is to be released to AirNet in two installments approximately six and twelve months after the closing. In March 2007, $500,000 of the escrowed amount was released to AirNet. AirNet retained the net working capital of the Jetride passenger charter business, which was approximately $2.2 million as of the closing date. In connection with the closing of the sale transaction, Jetride repaid in full six term loans which had been secured by aircraft used in Jetride’s passenger charter business. The aggregate principal amount of the loans repaid was approximately $28.2 million plus accrued interest and early termination prepayment penalties of approximately $0.3 million through the repayment date. Following repayment of Jetride’s loans and expenses related to the transaction, AirNet used the remaining sale proceeds to further reduce debt outstanding under AirNet’s secured revolving credit facility. AirNet’s lenders under the secured revolving credit facility had consented to the sale of the Jetride passenger charter business and the various transactions necessary to complete the sale.
In connection with the transaction, AirNet agreed to provide certain transition services to Pinnacle and its subsidiaries for various specified time periods and various monthly fees, which initially aggregated to approximately $37,500 per month, primarily for aircraft maintenance services. Effective March 25, 2007, Pinnacle and AirNet extended the term of various transition services provided by AirNet to Pinnacle on a month to month basis. AirNet and Pinnacle also agreed to reduce the monthly fees for such transition services to $36,250 per month. In addition, in September 2006, AirNet entered into three subleases with New Jetride, under which New Jetride leased a portion of AirNet’s facilities located at Rickenbacker International Airport, Dallas Love Field and Birmingham International Airport. The aggregate monthly lease payment under the three subleases was approximately $10,000. Pinnacle terminated its subleases of AirNet’s facilities located at Birmingham International Airport and Dallas Love Field effective April 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The monthly rent under the Birmingham International Airport and Dallas Love Field subleases was $1,870 and $2,200 per month, respectively.

There were the same number of flying days and weekends in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Bank Services revenues declined in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily due to a decrease in cancelled check volumes. Bank Services revenues and Express Services revenues are presented net of federal excise tax fees which were approximately 2% for Bank Services revenues and approximately 3% for Express Services revenues in each of the periods presented.
While AirNet’s Bank Services revenue declined approximately 11% in the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, AirNet’s net income from continuing operations benefited from a decrease in operating expenses as a result of the reduction in AirNet’s flight schedule on March 26, 2007 as discussed below. AirNet’s total Express Services revenues increased approximately 1% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in the prior year. AirNet’s Express Services revenues and contribution margin are not increasing at a rate sufficient to offset the accelerating decline in Bank Services revenues and contribution margin, which will require further substantial reductions in AirNet’s air transportation network. Given the high fixed costs of operating AirNet’s air transportation network, AirNet believes that it will be difficult to reduce operating costs in proportion to anticipated declines in Bank Services revenues. Furthermore, additional reductions in AirNet’s air transportation network will result in the elimination of certain delivery services to AirNet’s Bank Services and Express Services customers, resulting in additional declines in revenues. AirNet expects that the continuing decline in Bank Services revenues, combined with the high fixed costs of operating its air transportation network, will result in a significant decline in AirNet’s profitability in future periods. While AirNet continues to evaluate cost reductions to mitigate the decline in Bank Services revenues, there can be no assurances that such cost reductions can be implemented or, if fully implemented, such reductions would be sufficient to offset the trend of declining revenues and profitability in future periods.
AirNet generally assesses its Bank Services customers a fuel surcharge, which is generally based on the Oil Price Index Summary – Columbus, Ohio (OPIS) index. AirNet also assesses most of its Express Services customers a fuel surcharge based on the OPIS index, which is adjusted monthly based on changes in the OPIS index. As index rates fluctuate above a set threshold, surcharge rates will increase or decrease accordingly. The fuel surcharge rate is applied to the revenue amount billed to Bank Services and Express Services customers. AirNet assesses certain Express customers fuel surcharges based on negotiated contractual rates. The average fuel price on the OPIS index decreased approximately 0.4% and 2%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 from the comparable periods in 2006. Fuel surcharge revenues for Bank Services and Express Services for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 decreased approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, or 16% and 13%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2006.

Bank Services shipments consist primarily of cancelled checks (checks processed for settlement), proof of deposit (unprocessed checks) and interoffice mail delivery. These shipments are transported on AirNet’s transportation network and, to a lesser extent, on commercial passenger airlines and dedicated AirNet aircraft charters for specific banks. Total net Bank Services revenues decreased in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 due to, but to a lesser extent than, the decrease in total Bank Services pounds shipped per flying day. Weekday cancelled check pounds shipped per flying day declined approximately 27% and 26%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006; and declined approximately 9% and 8%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. Proof of deposit and interoffice mail deliveries also declined, resulting in a total decrease in total Bank Services pounds shipped per flying day of approximately 23% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006; and declined approximately 5% and 4%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. Bank Services cancelled check pounds shipped per flying day declined in each quarter of 2006 and the first and second quarters of 2007 at an increasing year-over-year rate.
Primarily as a result of the decline in cancelled check volumes, AirNet’s weekday revenues per flying day, excluding fuel surcharges, decreased approximately 13% and 10%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006; and declined approximately 3% and 2%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. AirNet expects Bank Services revenues will continue to decline in 2007 and thereafter as a result of continued reductions in cancelled check volume and as a result of the significant reduction in the number of flights conducted by AirNet’s air transportation network, as described below.
Bank Services Cancellations
As a result of decreased demand for air transportation services, during 2006 AirNet received a number of service cancellations from its banking customers. These cancellations, which took effect at various times during 2006, did not impact AirNet’s 2006 banking revenues on a full year basis. The full financial effect of such periodic service cancellations is not realized until future reporting periods that commence on or after the effective date of the cancellations.
During 2007, AirNet has continued to receive periodic service cancellations from its banking customers, which will result in further reductions in AirNet’s 2007 Bank Services revenues. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, AirNet received revenues of approximately $2.1 million and $6.2 million with respect to the service cancellations which are or will be effective at various dates throughout 2007. As discussed above, the full financial effect of such service cancellations is not realized until future reporting periods that commence on or after the effective date of the cancellations. The cancellations which are effective at various dates throughout 2007 represented approximately $13.4 million of revenues on an annual basis in 2006, including approximately $1.7 million of fuel surcharge revenues.

Table of Contents

AirNet anticipates that it will receive additional service cancellations from its banking customers in the second half of 2007, which will result in further reductions in AirNet’s 2007 Bank Services revenues. AirNet has also experienced declines in Bank Services revenues as a result of lower shipment weights on services which are subject to variable pricing and as a result of price reductions on fixed rate services as a result of lower shipment weights.
AirNet continues to consult with its banking customers to determine their future requirements for air transportation services as they transition to image products and other electronic alternatives to the physical movement of cancelled checks. As a result of these discussions, AirNet made significant changes to its air transportation network to meet the evolving service needs of its Bank Services customers, lowering their transportation costs in many cases. These changes, which became effective March 26, 2007, resulted in the elimination of 45 flights, or approximately 10%, of AirNet’s weekday flight schedule. A substantial portion of the shipment volume previously transported on the eliminated flights was transitioned to other AirNet flights as AirNet continues to work closely with its Bank Services customers to adjust pick up and delivery deadlines to meet their changing service requirements. AirNet’s Bank Services revenues are expected to decline by approximately $4.2 million on an annual basis, including approximately $0.5 million of fuel surcharges, as a direct result of these changes to AirNet’s air transportation network. This decline in AirNet’s Bank Services revenues is in addition to the reductions in Bank Services revenues resulting from the service cancellations, lower shipment weights and price reductions discussed in the preceding paragraph.
Reductions in AirNet’s variable operating costs resulting from the March 26, 2007 changes in its air transportation network are expected to substantially offset the anticipated loss of revenues resulting directly from these changes. AirNet did not reduce the number of aircraft in its fleet as a result of these changes in its air transportation network due to the number of aircraft needed to meet the continuing service requirements of its Bank Services and Express Services customers. AirNet expects that the accelerating decline in Bank Services revenues will require substantial further reductions in AirNet’s air transportation network.

AirNet’s Express Services customers typically operate in time-critical, time-definite, and high control delivery markets, including medical testing laboratories, radioactive pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, controlled sensitive media and mission critical parts. AirNet believes its air transportation network provides certain competitive advantages over other freight forwarders that must rely primarily upon commercial passenger airlines to process their shipments. These advantages include later tendering times, better on-time performance, greater control of shipments, reliable shipment tracking systems and greater flexibility in the design of transportation solutions for customers with specific needs.
Express Revenues – Non Charter represents revenues AirNet derives from Express shipments on AirNet’s air transportation network, commercial passenger airlines and point-to-point surface (ground only) shipments. Although the total number of express shipments declined in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006, revenues increased primarily because of rate increases and an overall increase in the average weight per shipment. A substantial portion of the Express Services price increases that were instituted in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 increased the base transportation rates and lowered fuel surcharge rates resulting in an increase in Express Revenues – Non Charter and a corresponding decrease in fuel surcharge revenues. Revenues before fuel surcharges for point-to-point surface shipments increased approximately 46% and 48%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 as a result of an increase in shipment weights and distances transported.
The total number of Non Charter Express shipments decreased approximately 10% and 9%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 from the same periods in 2006. The number of Non Charter shipments transported on AirNet’s air transportation network decreased approximately 14% and 13%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2006. The number of Non Charter Express shipments transported on commercial passenger airlines decreased approximately 7% and 3%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The number of Non Charter Express shipments transported

via point-to-point surface shipments decreased approximately 2% for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and increased approximately 0.4% for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006.
AirNet instituted a price increase on July 16, 2007 for one of its larger Express Services customers that provides distribution services to the entertainment industry. The price increase was implemented as a result of very low contribution margins that AirNet was realizing from this customer. The customer ceased shipping with AirNet shortly after the price increase was implemented. This customer represented approximately 4% of Express Services revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, approximately 5% of Express Services revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, and approximately 7% of Express Services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Express Revenues – Charter represent revenues AirNet derives from scheduled and unscheduled cargo charters transported on AirNet’s airline and on aircraft operated by other third parties. AirNet typically provides charter solutions for customers involved in radioactive pharmaceuticals, entertainment and the life sciences industry.
Revenue yields per pound are similar for Bank Services and Express Services shipments; however, because the density of cancelled check shipments is much greater than the typical Express Services shipment, contribution margins on Bank Services shipments are substantially higher than Express Services shipments after considering the cubic dimension of shipments. Furthermore, due to the unscheduled nature of most Express Services shipments, pick-up and delivery costs per shipment are higher for Express Services shipments than Bank Services shipments. Lower check delivery volumes due to the increased use of image products and other electronic alternatives to the physical movement of cancelled checks will contribute to a significant reduction in AirNet’s Bank Services revenues and contribution margin in future periods.
Aviation Services
Aviation Services revenues primarily relate to AirNet’s fixed base operation services for fuel sales and aircraft maintenance provided in Columbus, Ohio. The increase in Aviation Services primarily resulted from certain retail maintenance services provided to Pinnacle as described above under “Sale of Jetride’s Passenger Charter Business”.

Total aircraft fuel expense decreased primarily as a result of fewer hours flown. Aircraft hours flown decreased approximately 12% and 9%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The average fuel price on the OPIS index decreased approximately 0.4% and 2%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 over the comparable periods in 2006.
Aircraft maintenance is primarily based on pre-determined inspection intervals, determined by hours flown, cycles and the number of aircraft take-offs and landings. High use, older aircraft that are no longer in production, such as those in AirNet’s cargo fleet, incur higher maintenance costs than lower use, newer aircraft. The increase in aircraft maintenance expense reflects the following factors: expensing approximately 75% of the engine maintenance plan

16


Table of Contents

prepayments, as further described below; the increase in retail maintenance services provided to third parties; the timing of major maintenance events; and the age of AirNet’s cargo fleet, including Learjets which averaged approximately 25 years in service at the end of 2006, and the related increase in maintenance required on older aircraft.
AirNet uses manufacturer engine maintenance plans to provide maintenance for recurring inspections and major overhaul maintenance for most of the engines in its Learjet fleet. Approximately 95% of AirNet’s Learjet 35 aircraft engines are covered under manufacturer engine maintenance plans. Under the manufacturer engine maintenance plans, AirNet pays in advance for certain maintenance, repair and overhaul costs based on an amount per hour for each hour flown. In October 2006, following the write down of a substantial portion of the prepaid assets related to these engine maintenance plans in connection with the 2006 asset impairment charge, AirNet changed its estimate of the portion of these payments that should be capitalized and began expensing approximately 75% of the prepayments, which are included in aircraft maintenance expense. Management estimates that expensing payments made under manufacturer engine maintenance plans at this rate will maintain engine values at the amounts determined to be appropriate as part of the 2006 asset impairment charge. The portion of the prepayments expensed totaled approximately $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
In October 2005, following the write down of aircraft assets in connection with the 2005 asset impairment charge, management determined that none of the major maintenance expenditures incurred after September 30, 2005, with the exception of engine repairs and improvements and maintenance payments made under manufacturer engine maintenance plans, extended the useful life of the aircraft. Consequently, beginning in October 2005, such expenditures were charged to aircraft maintenance expense.
AirNet does not expect to capitalize any significant expenditures made in 2007 related to the aircraft fleet, with the exception of certain major engine repairs and improvements to engines not covered by manufacturer engine maintenance plans, and a portion of the prepayments under manufacturer engine maintenance plans related to the Learjet 35 aircraft.
Contracted air costs include expenses associated with shipments transported on commercial passenger airlines and costs to third-party aircraft operators for subcontracted air routes to support or supplement AirNet’s national air transportation network. Approximately 15% of AirNet’s cargo flights per night are subcontracted to third-party aircraft operators. Costs related to back-up and subcontracted air routes decreased approximately 19% and 11%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 from the comparable periods in 2006 primarily due to the elimination and restructuring of certain air routes that had been outsourced to third-party operators. Commercial freight costs also decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to the decrease in Bank Services and Express Services shipments transported on commercial passenger airlines.
Ground courier costs increased slightly for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and increased approximately $0.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. AirNet’s Express customers are more costly to serve than AirNet’s traditional Bank customers due to more unscheduled pickup and delivery services which are typically performed in more geographically dispersed locations. Additionally, ground courier costs increased for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the increases in shipment weights and distances transported compared to the same period in 2006. Point-to-point surface shipments have a significantly higher ground courier expense to revenue ratio than shipments that are transported on AirNet’s aircraft or on commercial airlines.
Aircraft depreciation decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 from the comparable periods in 2006 primarily due to the reduction in AirNet’s aircraft values as a result of the impairment charges recorded in 2006. Additionally, aircraft engine depreciation, which is based on engine hours operated, decreased because of the decline in flight hours for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Management expects 2007 depreciation expense to remain significantly below 2006 levels as a result of the 2006 asset impairment charge and a decrease in flight hours.
Travel, training and other operating expenses increased in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to increased aircraft pilot travel and training costs and as a result of overall increases in other costs at certain field operational locations.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily due to approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of incentive compensation expense recorded in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to $0.1 million of incentive compensation expense recorded in the comparable periods in 2007.

On January 10, 2007, one of AirNet’s Learjets was damaged and subsequently declared not airworthy AirNet received insurance proceeds of approximately $1.2 million on April 19, 2007 related to this loss. The gain on disposition of aircraft primarily reflects the excess of insurance proceeds over net book value of this Learjet.
The decrease in interest expense related to continuing operations of approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily reflects the reduction in the average debt outstanding, including the substantial reduction in September 2006 of the amount outstanding under AirNet’s revolving credit facility and the repayment in full of the principal balance outstanding under AirNet’s term loan.
AirNet’s effective tax rates, excluding the effect of discontinued operations, were 2.8% and 35.7%, respectively, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and were 3.6% and 36.4%, respectively, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The effective tax rates deviate from statutory federal, state and local rates primarily as a result of tax benefits from changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of approximately $(1.1) million and $(0.2) million, respectively, for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and approximately $(1.6) million and $(0.3) million, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require AirNet to record a valuation allowance against future deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that AirNet will not be able to utilize such benefits in the future. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, AirNet maintained a valuation allowance of $10.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively. In 2007, the valuation allowance offset deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities. In 2006, the valuation allowance offset AirNet’s net operating loss carry forwards and Alternative Minimum Tax credit carry forwards.
On December 31, 2006, AirNet filed for a discretionary income tax method change with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The discretionary method change requires IRS approval prior to the change being effective. As required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) the effect of the method change will be reported in the period in which IRS approval is obtained; therefore, AirNet has not reflected the anticipated impact of the method change in the June 30, 2007 financial statements. There is no certainty as to what extent or if the IRS will ultimately approve the elected method change as requested. However, if the method change is approved, it could materially change AirNet’s current taxes payable, its deferred tax assets and the need for the associated valuation allowance, and provide a significant refund of estimated taxes previously paid.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operating activities – Continuing Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was approximately $4.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to approximately $8.2 million for the same period in 2006. The approximate $3.4 million decrease in cash from operating activities was due to a $6.3 million decline in non-cash adjustments reduced by a $1.4 million increase in income from continuing operations and a $1.5 million increase in working capital component changes. Net income adjustments for non-cash items include the approximate $0.9 million non-operating gain relating to the disposition of aircraft, the 2007 reduction in non-cash depreciation expense of approximately $3.3 million (as discussed above), and the $2.2 million reduction in deferred income taxes attributable to changes in the valuation allowance. The increase in cash attributable to changes in working capital components was primarily due to the reduction in accounts receivable offsetting the estimated tax payments made in the first quarter of 2007 and reduction in accrued salaries and related liabilities attributable to the reduction in incentive compensation.
Cash flow from operating activities – Discontinued Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations of approximately $0.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 primarily reflects collection of outstanding Jetride receivables, while the comparable period of 2006 reflects operating activities.
Financing Activities – Continuing Operations
Revolving Credit Facility – Second Amended Credit Agreement — March 29, 2007
On March 29, 2007, AirNet and its lender (The Huntington National Bank) amended and restated the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 2004, among The Huntington National Bank and Bank One, N.A., as lenders, and AirNet, as borrower (as amended and restated, the “Amended

Table of Contents

Credit Agreement”) by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The following description of the Second Amended Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended Credit Agreement previously filed as Exhibit 4.50 in AirNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $15.0 million secured revolving credit facility and expires on October 15, 2008. The Second Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the property of AirNet, other than any interest in real estate and certain excluded fixed assets. The stock and interests of AirNet’s subsidiaries continue to be pledged to secure the loans under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, and each of AirNet’s subsidiaries continues to guarantee AirNet’s obligations under the Second Amended Credit Agreement under a Consent and Agreement of Guarantors.
The amount of revolving loans available under the Second Amended Credit Agreement is limited to a borrowing base equal to the aggregate of 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 50% of eligible aircraft parts. The amount available under the Second Amended Credit Agreement is also reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended Credit Agreement bears interest, at AirNet’s option, at (a) a fixed rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement, or (b) a floating rate based on the greater of (i) the prime rate established by The Huntington National Bank from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio or (ii) the sum of 0.5% plus the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio.
The Second Amended Credit Agreement permits AirNet to maintain and incur other indebtedness in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing aircraft and related tangible fixed assets. The Second Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require AirNet to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and to not exceed certain fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios specified in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains limitations on operating leases, significant corporate changes including mergers and sales of assets, investments in subsidiaries and acquisitions, liens, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, sales of accounts receivable, sale and leaseback transactions and other off-balance sheet liabilities, contingent obligations and hedging transactions.
As of June 30, 2007, approximately $2.5 million was outstanding under the Second Amended Credit Agreement which is included in “Notes payable, less current portion” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2007, AirNet had approximately $1.0 million in letters of credit outstanding related to insurance programs, which reduced the amount available under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2007, AirNet had approximately $11.5 million available to borrow under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
As described below, on April 11, 2007, AirNet borrowed approximately $7.5 million under its revolving credit facility to repay in full AirNet’s term loan.
Other Term Loan
On March 24, 2005, AirNet entered into an $11.0 million three-year term loan with a fixed interest rate of 8.12%. This term loan was secured by seven Cessna Caravans and nine Learjet 35 aircraft from AirNet’s cargo aircraft fleet. On April 11, 2007, AirNet repaid in full the $7.5 million principal balance outstanding under the term loan with borrowings from AirNet’s revolving credit facility. In addition to the outstanding principal amount, AirNet paid approximately $0.1 million in accrued interest and early termination prepayment penalties. Upon repayment in full, the term loan was terminated in accordance with its terms.
Financing Activities – Discontinued Operations
The 2006 net cash used for financing activities of discontinued operations reflects principal payments on term loans secured by aircraft used in the Jetride passenger charter business. Jetride repaid in full the term loans in connection with the sale of the Jetride passenger charter business on September 26, 2006.
Investing Activities – Continuing Operations
Capital expenditures from continuing operations totaled approximately $2.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 versus approximately $4.6 million for the same period in 2006. The 2007 and 2006 expenditures were primarily for major aircraft engine overhauls. AirNet anticipates it will spend between $5.5 million and $6.5 million in total capital expenditures in 2007. The proceeds from sales of property and equipment primarily reflect insurance proceeds from a damaged Learjet declared not airworthy, and amounts received upon the disposition of nine Cessna 310s delivered in the first half of 2007 under the terms of a sales agreement.

Table of Contents

AirNet anticipates that operating cash and capital expenditure requirements will continue to be funded by cash flow from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Agreement or other sources, including leasing and the sale of aircraft. There were no material capital commitments at June 30, 2007.
There have been no material changes in AirNet’s contractual obligations, other than the repayment of AirNet’s term loan as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from those disclosed in AirNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Investing Activities – Discontinued Operations
Net cash was provided by investing activities related to discontinued operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as a result of a partial release of escrowed cash closing proceeds from the sale of Jetride in September 2006. Net cash was used by investing activities in the comparable period in 2006, for capital expenditures, primarily for aircraft engine overhauls.
Regulation
AirNet holds an air carrier operating certificate granted by the FAA pursuant to Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. AirNet also holds a repair station certificate granted by the FAA pursuant to Part 145 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. In addition, until the sale of Jetride’s passenger charter business in September 2006, Jetride held its own air carrier operating certificate granted by the FAA pursuant to Part 135. AirNet’s certificates are of unlimited duration and remain in effect so long as AirNet maintains the required standards of safety and meets the operational requirements of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The FAA’s regulatory authority relates primarily to operational aspects of air transportation, including aircraft standards and maintenance, personnel, and ground facilities.
The U. S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) have regulatory authority concerning operational and security concerns in transportation, including safety, insurance and hazardous materials. AirNet holds various operational certificates issued by these and other governmental agencies, including grantee status to DOT-SP 7060 Special Permit and a Transport Canada Permit for Equivalent Level of Safety, which permit AirNet to transport higher volumes of time-critical radioactive pharmaceuticals than is allowed by the DOT and Transport Canada for most carriers operating aircraft of similar size. AirNet’s grantee status under the DOT-SP 7060 Special Permit expires in August 2010 and its Permit for Equivalent Level of Safety expires in March 2008. These permits may be renewed at such times. AirNet is also subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates the transportation of pharmaceuticals and live animals, as well as by various state and local authorities.
AirNet believes that it has all permits, approvals and licenses required to conduct its operations and that it is in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements relating to its operations, including all applicable noise level regulations.
AirNet transports packages on both its airline and on commercial airlines. The TSA requires that AirNet maintain certain security programs related to its operations, including a Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (“TFSSP”) and an Indirect Air Carrier Standard Security Program (“IACSSP”). The TFSSP governs security procedures applicable to AirNet’s airline and the IACSSP governs security procedures for tendering packages to commercial airlines. AirNet maintains a TSA approved TFSSP. AirNet Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AirNet (“AirNet Management”), maintains a TSA approved IACSSP. AirNet and AirNet Management believe that they are in compliance with all the requirements of the TFSSP and IACSSP programs that they maintain.
As a result of increased concerns regarding airline security, in May 2006 the TSA adopted new rules and regulations to enhance the security requirements relating to the transportation of cargo on both passenger and all-cargo aircraft. These new rules, when fully implemented, will require air carriers maintaining TFSSP and IACSSP programs to institute new or additional security measures, including enhanced training of personnel responsible for maintaining such programs or involved in the processing of air cargo, more extensive background checks of such personnel, and new rules for verifying the identity of shippers and individuals tendering packages to commercial airlines. AirNet has implemented the new TSA rules and regulations that are currently in effect and intends to implement other security measures as they become effective.
On August 3, 2007, President Bush signed into law the “Improving America’s Security Act of 2007” (the “Act”). The Act mandates heightened inspection and screening measures for cargo placed on commercial passenger airlines and requires all cargo placed on commercial passenger airlines after August 3, 2010 to be screened for threats to transportation security. When implemented, the heightened inspection and screening measures required under the

20


Table of Contents

Act may necessitate earlier tendering times for cargo transported on commercial passenger airlines, which may impact AirNet’s ability to meet current shipping timeframes for its customers.
On February 14, 2007, the FAA submitted its reauthorization funding proposal to Congress entitled “The Next Generation Air Transportation System Financing Reform Act of 2007”. The FAA proposal, if enacted, would significantly change the way the federal government funds the FAA. The FAA proposal would shift a significant portion of the FAA’s funding from general tax receipts to a fee based funding system. The FAA proposal, if enacted, would also increase the federal tax on aviation fuel. Neither the U.S. Senate nor the House of Representatives adopted all of the FAA’s funding recommendations contained in the “The Next Generation Air Transportation System Financing Reform Act of 2007”. The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have proposed alternative FAA funding legislation entitled, respectively, the “Aviation Investment and Modernization Act of 2007” and the “FAA Reauthorization Act of 2007”. The U.S. Senate’s initial proposed FAA funding legislation included a proposed $25 per landing surcharge. The financial impact of any FAA funding legislation on AirNet is dependent on the version of the legislation that is ultimately enacted into law. AirNet will closely monitor the pending legislation to determine the financial impact on its costs of operation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
AirNet had no “off-balance sheet” arrangements as of June 30, 2007, as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Seasonality and Variability in Quarterly Results
AirNet’s operations historically have been dependent on the number of banking holidays falling during the quarter and are seasonal in some respects. Because financial institutions are currently AirNet’s principal customers, AirNet’s air transportation system is scheduled primarily around the needs of financial institution customers. When financial institutions are closed, AirNet does not operate a full air transportation system. AirNet’s fiscal quarter ending December 31 is often the most impacted by bank holidays (including Thanksgiving and Christmas) recognized by its primary customers. When these holidays fall on Monday through Thursday, AirNet’s revenues and net income are adversely affected. AirNet’s annual results fluctuate as well based on when holidays fall during the week over the course of the year. Operating results are also affected by the weather. AirNet generally experiences higher maintenance costs during its fiscal quarter ending March 31. Winter weather often requires additional costs for de-icing, hangar rental and other aircraft services.

AirNet is exposed to certain market risks from transactions that are entered into during the normal course of business. AirNet’s primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk. At June 30, 2007, AirNet had a $2.5 million outstanding balance under its Second Amended Credit Agreement (described above in the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Activities – Continuing Operations” in “ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). On March 29, 2007, AirNet and its lender (The Huntington National Bank) amended the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement by entering into the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Second Amended Credit Agreement bears interest, at AirNet’s option, at (a) a fixed rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement, or (b) a floating rate based on the greater of (i) the prime rate established by The Huntington National Bank from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement and (ii) the sum of 0.5% plus the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus a margin determined by AirNet’s leverage ratio. Assuming borrowing levels at June 30, 2007, a one hundred basis point change in interest rates would impact net interest expense by approximately $25,000 per year.
Fuel Surcharge
AirNet generally assesses its Bank Services customers a fuel surcharge, which is generally based on the Oil Price Index Summary – Columbus, Ohio (OPIS) index. AirNet also assesses most of its Express Services customers a fuel surcharge based on the OPIS index, which is adjusted monthly based on changes in the OPIS index. As index rates fluctuate above a set threshold, surcharge rates will increase or decrease accordingly. The fuel surcharge rate is applied to the revenue amount billed to Bank Services and Express Services customers. AirNet assesses certain Express customers fuel surcharges based on negotiated contractual rates.

ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary (the principal financial officer) of AirNet Systems, Inc. (“AirNet”), AirNet’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of AirNet’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, AirNet’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President and AirNet’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary have concluded that:
    information required to be disclosed by AirNet in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that AirNet files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to AirNet’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
 
    information required to be disclosed by AirNet in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that AirNet files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
 
    AirNet’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in AirNet’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during AirNet’s quarterly period ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, AirNet’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – Legal Proceedings
In July 2006, AirNet received a letter from an attorney representing an association of software publishers indicating that the association had evidence that AirNet had engaged in the unlawful installation and use of certain software products. At the request of the association’s attorney, AirNet conducted a company wide review of its use of software published by members of the association. AirNet’s internal review did not disclose any unauthorized installation or use of such software and the results of the review were submitted to the association’s attorney. The attorney for the association subsequently requested certain supplemental information regarding AirNet’s software usage, which AirNet supplied to the attorney for the association. By letter dated July 23, 2007, the attorney for the association informed AirNet that the association had decided to close its file on this matter based upon the cooperation AirNet had exhibited in connection with the audit. The attorney indicated that the closing of the file was done without waiver of any right or remedy the association might have against AirNet should new information be discovered which might reflect unauthorized software usage by AirNet.
Other than the item noted above, there are no pending legal proceedings involving AirNet and its subsidiaries other than routine litigation incidental to their respective business. In the opinion of AirNet’s management, these proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on AirNet’s results of operations or financial condition
ITEM 1A – Risk Factors
There are certain risks and uncertainties in AirNet’s business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS” of Part I of AirNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of AirNet’s risk factors. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factors described in AirNet’s 2006 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing AirNet. The following risk factors as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to AirNet or that AirNet currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect AirNet’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Proposed legislative changes in the manner in which the FAA is funded by the federal government may increase AirNet’s operating costs.
On February 14, 2007, the FAA proposed legislation to Congress that would significantly alter the manner in which the federal government funds the FAA. The proposed legislation, entitled the “Next Generation Air Transportation System Financing Reform Act of 2007” would generate revenue to fund FAA operations from a number of sources, including the imposition of certain fees for using the air traffic system and increases in the fuel tax. Neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives adopted the FAA’s proposed legislation, and the Senate and the House of Representatives each introduced its own FAA funding legislation entitled, respectively, the “Aviation Investment and Modernization Act of 2007” and the “FAA Reauthorization Act of 2007”. The Senate and House of Representative proposed bills have been referred to their respective committees and neither bill has been approved by the full Senate or full House of Representatives. Any FAA funding legislation that contains new user fees or increases the fuel tax, if enacted, would significantly increase AirNet’s operating costs and could adversely impact AirNet’s financial performance.
The U.S. aviation industry is experiencing a shortage of qualified pilots which could adversely impact AirNet’s flight schedule and air transportation network.
The U.S. aviation industry is currently experiencing a shortage of qualified pilots. AirNet competes for qualified pilots with major passenger airlines, regional passenger carriers, fractional ownership operators, corporate flight departments, and other cargo airlines. AirNet’s inability to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified pilots could adversely impact AirNet’s air transportation network and require AirNet to charter certain routes to other third party operators or reduce its current flight schedule. AirNet’s inability to maintain its current flight schedule as a result of a pilot shortage would have a significant and immediate adverse effect on AirNet’s business. The shortage of qualified pilots also will require AirNet to increase the compensation of pilots in order to attract and retain qualified pilots.
