SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Cash
Equivalents
-
Cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with maturities of
three
months or less when purchased.
|
Inventories
-
Inventories related to the Company’s manufacturing operations are carried
at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. Aviation parts
and
supplies inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or
market.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company includes expendable
aircraft parts and supplies in current assets, although a certain
portion
of these inventories may not be used or sold within one
year.

DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
The
Company may issue up to 50,000 shares of preferred stock, in one
or more
series, on such terms and with such rights, preferences and limitations
as
determined by the Board of Directors. No preferred shares have been
issued
as of March 31, 2006.
|
The
Company has granted options to purchase up to a total of 17,000 shares
of
common stock to certain Company non-employee directors at prices
of $6.38
to $28.77 per share. As of March 31, 2006, under AirT’s 2005 Equity
Incentive Plan, which was approved at the Company’s September 28, 2005
annual shareholders’ meeting, 235,000 shares remain available for issuance
under future option grants. All options were granted at exercise
prices
which approximated the fair market value of the common stock on the
date
of grant. Options granted in fiscal 1999 and 2005 are fully vested
and
must be exercised within ten years of the vesting date. Options granted
in
fiscal 2006 will vest on September 27, 2006 and were therefore, not
exercisable as of the Company’s fiscal
year-end.
