PART I
 
ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
General
 
FBO Air, Inc. (“FBO Air”) is a Nevada corporation, the Common Stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of which is publicly traded, and acts as a holding company for its operational subsidiaries (FBO Air and its subsidiaries collectively the "Company" or "we"). We are an aviation services company with operations in the aircraft charter management and fixed base operations (an “FBO”) segments of the general aviation industry. We have grown principally through merger/acquisition activity, a strategy that we expect to continue for the foreseeable future and which will be supplemented by internal growth strategies, particularly in the charter management segment.

Our operations are conducted through two segments - our FirstFlight (“FirstFlight”) segment, which handles the aircraft charter management activities, and Tech Aviation (“Tech Aviation”), which operates the FBO business. Charter management is the business of providing on-call passenger (and/or cargo) air transportation. We implement charter services through a fleet of managed aircraft - owned by another person or entity for which FirstFlight provides regulatory and maintenance oversight while offering charter services. An FBO is the primary provider of services such as the fueling, hangaring, maintenance and repair to private/general aviation aircraft operators.

The FirstFlight segment has its main facility in Elmira, New York and became part of FBO Air through the acquisition on September 23, 2005 of Airborne, Inc. (“Airborne”).

Tech Aviation has a facility in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania as a result of the acquisition on March 31, 2005 of Tech Aviation Service, Inc. (“Tech”) and a facility in Garden City, Kansas as a result of the acquisition on March 31, 2005 of Central Plains Aviation, Inc. (“CPA”). Tech Aviation also manages an FBO facility in Niagara Falls, New York.

FBO Air was formed on January 17, 2003 (date of inception) as a proprietorship to acquire and operate FBOs. On January 2, 2004, FBO Air, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona. FBO Air completed a reverse merger transaction on August 20, 2004 (the “Reverse Merger”) with Shadows Bend Development, Inc. ("Shadows Bend"), an inactive Nevada corporation. Since October 2000, 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, upon consummation of the merger, became the directors and management of Shadows Bend.

On August 20, 2004, FBO Air changed its corporate name to FBO Air, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 26, 2004 between Shadows Bend and FBO Air. As of December 21, 2004, the Common Stock became eligible for quotation on the NASD Bulletin Board. FBO Air files periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

On April 15, 2005, FBO Air closed on its final round of financing in its March and April 2005 private placement, 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 funding, FBO Air’s primary source of operating funds since inception had been provided by its founding stockholders and through a convertible note financing.

A-1


The charter management segment of the aviation industry, which includes the FirstFlight division of FBO Air, operates under Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”) Part 135, which covers aircraft with 30 seats or less and up to 7,500 pounds of payload. According to the National Air Transportation Association (“NATA” ) , there are approximately 3,000 holders of Part 135 charter certificates, which include 2,550 for fixed wing aircraft and 450 for helicopter operators.

NATA also reports that the business traveler accounts for approximately 70 percent of the market for charter activity, with leisure activity representing the remaining 30 percent. Further, approximately 30 percent of charter travelers have almost totally abandoned the scheduled airlines for their travel needs.

Because the charter management segment is populated by primarily small, private companies, financial and statistical data is difficult to acquire. However, according to the industry publication Air Charter Guide , the total on-demand charter fleet in the United States is comprised of 6,411 aircraft. The jet component of this number, exclusive of airliner-sized equipment, was 1,950 with each category - light, mid, and heavy - having increased in size versus prior years.

The FBO segment of the industry is also highly fragmented - being populated by, according to NATA, over 3,000 operators who serve customers at one or more of the over 3,000 airport facilities across the country that have at least one paved 3,000-foot runway. The vast majority of these companies are single location operators. NATA further characterizes companies with operations at three or more airports as “chains.” An operation with FBOs in at least two distinctive regions of the country are considered a “national” chain while multiple locations within a single region are “regional” chains.
 
We believe the general aviation market has historically been somewhat cyclical, with revenues correlated quite closely with general US economic conditions. We also believe that the marketplace is experiencing a significant rebound in market and financial performance for four reasons:

·
The economic downturn that marked the post-9/11 period has rebounded. FBO Air believes the current relatively positive general condition of the US economy is benefiting the general aviation category.
   
·
The events of 9/11 were also catalytic in effecting a fundamental change in the demand for private aviation services; i.e. , with the increase of security initiatives at the country’s major airports and the concomitant increase in check-in delays, there has been an increase in the number of business and high end leisure travelers who are using private aircraft for their travel needs.
   
·
There is a new generation of private jet aircraft coming on the market, which is more affordable but has less-than-transcontinental range. As this new generation of private jet aircraft begins to proliferate, we believe there will be a resultant demand for more FBO services in secondary markets as well as in middle America, where these aircraft might be expected to put down and take on fuel en route to their final destinations.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of $2,384,344 and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,330,450. On March 31, 2005, we completed the acquisition of two fixed based operator companies and became an operating company. On September 23, 2005, we completed the acquisition of our third operating company, a charter management operation. We generated revenues of $13,805,562 during the year ended December 31, 2005, all of which were generated on or after April 1, 2005, and have incurred aggregate net losses and net losses applicable to common stockholders of approximately $2,592,000 and $4,739,000 , respectively, for the period from January 17, 2003 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005. Certain of these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 7 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.

A-2

 
Other Potential Products
 
At this point in time, management contemplates maintaining focus on the two core segments of the aviation industry in which we currently operate - charter management and FBOs. Any future expansion of offerings could come within products, services, or functions that support one or both of these segments.  
 
We have also executed a service center agreement with Bizjet, a division of Lufthansa Technik Company. This agreement may encompass both current and future locations of the Company, subject to approval by Bizjet. The relationship with Bizjet may significantly increase our maintenance operations - a function that is currently included in both the FirstFlight and Tech Aviation segments - and, in the future, may represent a separate, third division of the Company.
 
Such expansion is not defined at the time of this Report, nor may it ever occur.
 
Marketing and Sales
 
The FirstFlight segment has a dedicated sales force whose mission is to increase sales of charter activity on its fleet of managed aircraft. Senior FirstFlight management personnel complement the efforts of this sales force by pursuing aircraft owners who could add their aircraft to our managed fleet.
 
Enhancements have also been made to the FirstFlight website, and are in progress on the Tech Aviation website, that enable the sales force to more easily communicate with, and field requests from, both current and future clients.
 
Government Approvals
 
The charter management companies and FBOs that we operate and/or target for acquisition generally operate on municipal or other government owned real estate properties. Accordingly, at times we will need to obtain certain consents or approvals from those government entities in conjunction with our operation and/or acquisition. There can be no assurance that we shall obtain such consents on favorable terms, which could result in our not consummating an acquisition that we otherwise would consider.
 
Effect of existing or probable government regulation
 
Charter management companies and FBOs also operate under the supervision of the Federal Aviation Authority. Our efforts to charter aircraft, to dispense fuels, and to provide repair and maintenance services, are under the purview of local, regional and national regulatory agencies. We intend to comply with all government regulations. The adoption of new regulations could result in increased costs.
 
Competition
 
The two segments of the aviation industry in which we compete - charter management and FBO - are both highly fragmented. Within the base of competition in each segment are local, regional and national companies.

Management believes that the current fleet of aircraft managed by its FirstFlight division is highly competitive in terms of the type and number of aircraft it can deploy for charter. As of March 31, 2006, FirstFlight’s fleet is comprised of 15 models of large- and mid-cabin aircraft that are generally recognized as attractive by aircraft charter clients, including multiple Gulfstream 550, Gulfstream V and Gulfstream IV models.

A-3


The FBO segment of the industry, the vast majority of which are independent, single location operators, is characterized by competition in both pricing and service due to the fair amount of flexibility for aircraft in transit to choose from a number of FBO options within a 200-300 mile radius. As we grow our business, we forecast that our larger size will provide us with greater buying power from suppliers, and thus provide us with lower costs, which would thereby allow for a more aggressive pricing policy against some competition. More importantly, we believe that the higher level of customer service offered in our facilities will allow us to draw additional aircraft and thus compete successfully against other FBOs of any size.

Costs and effects of complying with environmental laws
 
In dispensing fuels and in maintenance and repair operations, we handle virgin and waste petroleum lubricants. The handling of these materials is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws. The Company intends to comply with these laws, as part of its standard operating practice. The cost of this compliance is considered a normal cost of operations.  
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2005, we had 105 employees, four of whom are executive officers of the Company; the balance are employed within our divisional operations in Pennsylvania, Kansas and New York. Prior to March 31, 2005, the Company had one full-time employee who was the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.

We believe that our space is adequate for our immediate needs and that, if additional space is required, whether due to the scheduled expiration of a lease or otherwise, it would be readily available at commercially reasonable rates.
 
(1) This location is leased from a related party to whom in the year ended December 31, 2005 we paid a total amount for rent of $43,000.
 
We have no current intention to invest in real estate, other than in connection with the acquisition of an FBO property. While we may purchase the common stock of companies, as a means of acquisition of that FBO, we have no intent to passively hold or invest in the common stock of companies in the FBO business.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In early 2005, FBO Air was served with a complaint which names FBO Air, among others, as a defendant in a suit brought by a broker-dealer, seeking damages of approximately $100,000 arising from Shadows Bend's cancellation of a stock certificate in the year 2002 evidencing shares allegedly sold by the plaintiff for the account of a stockholder of Shadows Bend. Captioned Institutional Capital Management, Inc. vs. Michael W. Sciacchetano, et. al. , the suit is currently pending in the 215 th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas. On March 28, 2005, FBO Air filed a general denial. Mediation has tentatively been set for mid-May 2006.

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 the Chief Operating Officer of FBO Air and, since March 31, 2005, a director of FBO Air. 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, FBO Air 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 is partly responsible for any alleged damages, (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 (e) 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 FBO Air from soliciting New World's customers or employees. The court also denied FBO Air's motion for summary judgment. Despite such denial, based on the opinion of Wachtel & Masyr, LLP, its trial counsel, FBO Air is of the opinion that the likelihood of an adverse judgment against FBO Air or Mr. Ettinger is remote.
 
We believe that the Company has good defenses and intends to vigorously contest these claims asserted against it.  However, we are unable to predict the outcome of these claims and, accordingly, no adjustments have been made in the consolidated financial statements in response to these claims
 
ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
(i)
There were no meetings of stockholders held during the year ended December 31, 2005.
   
(ii)
In connection with the previously reported acquisition of the outstanding shares of Airborne, Inc., which closed on September 23, 2005, FBO Air was required to secure the consents from the holders of at least 50.1% of the outstanding shares of FBO Air's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), to consummating the acquisition. FBO Air obtained the consents from the holders of 435 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, or 50.3% of the then 846 outstanding shares.

Holders

As of April 10, 2006, there were approximately 590 holders of record of the Common Stock. This number does not include beneficial owners of the Common Stock whose shares are held in the names of various broker-dealers, clearing agencies, banks, and other fiduciaries.

Dividends

FBO Air has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Company has had losses since inception and, under Nevada Law which governs FBO Air, no dividend has been payable because its total assets did not exceed the sum of the total liabilities plus the liquidation preference on the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the currently outstanding 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes due March 31, 2008 or April 8, 2008 prohibit the payment of dividends on the Common Stock and no dividends may be paid on the Common Stock unless all accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid (none of which have been paid because of the Nevada statutory provision described above). Even if the Company’s operations began to generate profits, as to which there can be no assurance, the Nevada law permitted the payment of dividends, and there were no restrictions in outstanding debt or equity securities prohibiting the payment of dividends, or such restrictions were waived by the requisite number of holders, management currently intends to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of the Company’s business and future operations and, therefore, does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
 
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004

On March 31, 2005, we completed the acquisition of our first two operating companies, Tech and CPA. On September 23, 2005, we completed the acquisition of the stock of Airborne, our third operating company. The Company commenced its planned business operations on April 1, 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.
 
Revenues

We had overall revenues of approximately $13,806,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to revenues of $0 for the year ended December 31, 2004 because the Company has only been generating revenues since April 1, 2005. The FirstFlight segment generated approximately $9,260,000 of this revenue while the Tech Aviation segment generated approximately $4,546,000.
 
FirstFlight Segment

The FirstFlight segment has its main facility in Elmira, New York, and became a part of FBO air through the acquisition of Airborne on September 23, 2005. This segment of FBO Air is engaged in charter management activities, providing on-call passenger (and/or cargo) air transportation. Charter services are provided through a fleet of managed aircraft, or other aircraft. FirstFlight provides regulatory and maintenance oversight for the managed aircraft, while also offering charter services.

Of the approximately $9,260,000 in FirstFlight segment revenues, $7,299,000 (78.8%) were generated directly through the charter of aircraft.Approximately $1,294,000 (14.0%) of revenues were generated by aircraft management services, $373,000 (4.0%) is related to aircraft maintenance, and $295,000 (3.2%) is from the sale of fuel.
 
FirstFlight managed 13 aircraft for owners at December 31, 2005. These aircraft were offered for charter when not in use by their owners. FirstFlight generates fee revenue from the management of aircraft - ensuring that the aircraft meets compliance with manufacturer and FAA regulations. 

Tech Aviation Segment

The Tech Aviation segment has its main facility in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and became part of FBO air through the acquisition of Tech and CPA on March 31, 2005. Tech Aviation operates the FBO business, providing services such as fueling, hangaring, maintenance and repair for private and general aviation aircraft operators.

Of the approximately $4,546,000 in Tech Aviation segment revenues, $3,687,000 (81.1%) were generated by the sale of jet fuel, aviation gasoline (“avgas”), and related items. $382,000 (8.4%) relates to aircraft maintenance activities, $325,000 (7.1%) is related to flight training, and $153,000 (3.4%) was generated by the management of non-owned FBO facilities.
 
The fluctuation of fuel cost was a significant focus for management in the year ended December 31, 2005. As the cost of fuel rose, as it did on numerous occasions throughout the year, we paid close attention to how competition was pricing their product and made counter-competitive decisions on almost a weekly basis. Particularly in our Kansas location, where transient traffic represents the majority of gallonage, these decisions impacted the revenue and margin performance of the division.

A-9

 
As fuel is the primary driver of revenue in the Tech Aviation division, we anticipate continued variability of pricing following closely the crude oil marketplace. There has proven a fair amount of price elasticity in the segment of turbine-engine aircraft that require jet fuel. There has been, however, a direct relationship between the price of avgas, which is used in piston-engine aircraft, and the amount of leisure flying.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
 
FirstFlight Segment

FirstFlight’s cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $7,806,441, or 84.3% of revenue, for a gross profit of $1,453,551, or 15.7% of revenue. The largest contributor to gross profit was the charter of our fleet of managed aircraft, followed by brokered charter activity. Maintenance activity during this period operated at essentially breakeven while ancillary revenues related to management services generated a negative gross profit.
 
Tech Aviation Segment

Tech Aviation’s cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $2,492,802, or 54.8% of revenue, for a gross profit of $2,052,768, or 45.2% of revenue. The largest contributor to gross profit was the sale of jet fuel, avgas, and related items, followed by maintenance activities and the management of non-owned FBO facilities.

As discussed in the Revenue section, the cost of fuel has been a major focus in this division. We closely monitored the marketplace in conjunction with our fuel provider. In many cases we were able to buy-in prior to anticipated increases, thereby maintaining and, in some cases, maximizing margins.

Operating Expenses

We had overall operating expenses of approximately $4,993,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to approximately $561,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increases were primarily driven by costs resulting from the acquisition of three operating companies. The FirstFlight segment, which is a function of the September 23, 2005 acquisition of Airborne, represented approximately $1,313,000 in operating expenses and the Tech Aviation segment, which is a function of the March 31, 2005 acquisitions of Tech and CPA, represented approximately $2,034,000 in operating expenses.

The remainder of operating expenses was attributable to the corporate operations and amounted to approximately $1,646,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $561,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. These increased expenses were primarily comprised of legal and accounting expenses incurred for operating as a public company for the full year along with increased payroll expenses related to a larger infrastructure.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $466,000 and $13,000, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to the costs of the Senior Secured Notes, issued in March and April, 2005.

Income Taxes
 
Although we have federal and state net operating losses available for income tax purposes that may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, the deferred tax assets are subject to a 100% valuation allowance because it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized as of December 31, 2005. The Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation in future periods pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders
 
Net losses applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $4,061,000 and $573,000, respectively, an increase of approximately $3,487,000 or approximately 608%. The increased net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2005 was due in part to the deemed dividend on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock of $1,411,000 and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $4,432,000 or 790% during the year ended December 31, 2005 related primarily to the costs of operations since March 31, 2005.
 
Basic net loss per share applicable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the periods presented. Common stock equivalents, consisting of options, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes payable were not included in the calculation of the diluted losses per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted net losses per share applicable to common stockholders was $0.42 and $0.14 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are currently reviewing alternatives for the next stage of capitalization for the Company. In all likelihood, some combination of equity and debt securities will be issued in order to address the short- and long-term capital needs of the Company. The history of our capitalization includes successive, successful private issuances of equity and debt securities that have facilitated the development of the Company from inception to this point.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,316,000. 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 approximately $955,000. This was primarily driven by a net loss of $1,914,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $225,000, and a decrease in accounts payable of $182,000. Net cash used in operations was reduced by the effect of increases in customer deposits of $332,000 and accrued expenses of $593,000. 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 year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used in operating activities was $352,000. This was attributable to a net loss of $573,000 offset by approximately $69,000 in the compensatory element of stock issuances and an increase of $170,000 in the accounts payable.

Cash Used in Investing Activities.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4,392,000. 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 charter management operation, requiring cash of $1,400,000.

A-11

 
On March 31, 2005, we purchased 100% of the common stock of Tech, a fixed base operator conducting business in the Northeast. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid cash at closing of approximately $2,255,000, applied a deposit of $10,000 and issued notes payable to the Tech 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, we purchased certain assets of CPA, a fixed base operator conducting business in Kansas. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, FBO Air paid cash at closing of $466,000, and issued a note payable to the CPA shareholders 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 May 26, 2005, we loaned $350,000 as a note receivable to a fixed base operator who was a potential acquisition target of the Company (the "Maker"). The note bears interest at 10% per annum and such interest only shall be paid quarterly, starting upon the three-month anniversary of the note. The note may be prepaid at any time. We were granted a security interest in all tangible property, goods and accounts of the Maker. Further, FBO Air had been granted an option to purchase the FBO owned by Maker, such option to expire one year from date of grant of option. On February 1, 2006, having declined to pursue the acquisition, we negotiated revised repayment terms whereby the Maker made a $200,000 cash payment with the balance of the principal, plus unpaid interest and our legal fees for a total of about $174,000, to be paid over a twenty-four month period with interest at a rate of six percent (6%) to be paid quarterly and the principal balance due upon maturity.
 
On September 23, 2005, we purchased 100% of the stock of Airborne, a charter management company conducting business in the Northeast.Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, FBO Air paid cash of $1,400,000 and issued 2,333,334 shares of the Common Stock valued at $630,000 at closing aggregating $2,030,000.
 
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,663,000. Most significantly, on March 31, April 8, and April 15, 2005, we received net funds aggregating approximately $5,231,000 through a private placement consisting of the issuance of $1,496,000 of Senior Secured Notes, the issuance of $4,243,000 of Series A Preferred Stock and the issuance of warrants for the purchase 3,618,000 of the Common Stock, less issuance expenses paid in cash at closing of $508,000. See additional information below.
 
In April 2004, FBO Air 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 company received proceeds from 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.
 
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 or April 8, 2008; bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which is payable at maturity; 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.

A-12

 
On March 31, April 8 and April 15, 2005, FBO Air issued warrants to purchase shares of the Common Stock aggregating approximately 3,618,000 to investors and 1,296,000 to the placement agent or its assignees. Each warrant provides a five-year right to purchase a share of the 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 warrant agreements, and upon the sale by FBO Air of additional equity securities at a price below the Warrant Exercise Price. At the option of FBO Air, 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 Common Stock is not less than 200,000 shares per day during such 20-day trading period.
 
On March 31, April 8 and April 15, 2005, we sold approximately $4,243,000, or 846 shares, of our Series A Preferred Stock, 1,000 shares of which was authorized during February 2005. Each share has a Stated Value ("Stated Value") of $5,000. These shares provide for cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly and are mandatorily redeemable three years from the date of issue. The cumulative dividend, at the option of FBO Air, may be paid either in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the shares of Common Stock shall vote as a single class, with the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock having the number of votes based upon the formula for the conversion to Common Stock as provided below. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect one director to FBO Air's Board of Directors or to have one observer at Board meetings.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Common Stock. The shares shall automatically convert upon (a) FBO Air'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 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 anti-dilution adjustments, as provided in the agreement, the Conversion Price is $0.30 per share. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will convert into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of each share of Series A 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 FBO Air sells shares of the Common Stock at a price below the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, as provided for in the related Certificate of Designations.
 
On the third anniversary of the original date of issue of the Series A Preferred Stock, FBO Air 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 FBO Air, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive 115% of the Stated Value of each share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

A-13

 
FBO Air issued a note payable with a face value of $1,500,000 which bears an annual interest rate of 4.25% until the initial maturity date of March 22, 2006. FBO Air has elected to extend the maturity to September 23, 2006 with an interest rate of 9.25% per annum applicable to the extended period. 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 FBO Air and all products and proceeds of the foregoing personal property. FBO Air's chairman of the board and an entity owned by one of its other directors are the members of the holder's entity.
 
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,384,000. 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. There is no assurance that FBO Air will be able to raise the additional funds required, or that if raised, these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
 
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. 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 provided as follows:

Business   Combinations
 
In accordance with business combination accounting, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. The Company engaged a third-party appraisal firm to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
 
Management makes estimates of fair values based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from charter management and fuel revenues, managed aircraft agreements, customer relationships and key management and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade names will continue to be used in the combined company's product portfolio; and discount rates. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

Accounts Receivable :
 
The Company’s extends credit to large and mid-size companies for flight related services. The Company has concentrations of credit risk in that 63% of the balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 is made up of only ten customers. At December 31, 2005 accounts receivable from the two largest accounts amounted to approximately $337,000 (9.9%) and $327,000 (9.6%), respectively. 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 .

A-15


Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
The Company accounts for Goodwill and Intangible Assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141) and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangibles that are deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but, instead, are to be reviewed at least annually for impairment. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. We have recorded goodwill in connection with the Company's acquisitions described in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements amounting to $4,194,770. The Company has determined that there is no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2005. Intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 141 the Company recognized certain intangible assets acquired, primarily goodwill, trade names, non-compete agreements and customer relationships.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, on a regular basis, the Company performs impairment analysis of the carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets.
 
Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company sold convertible preferred stock with a registration rights agreement and warrants in connection with a private placement (see Note 13). Based on the interpretive guidance in EITF Issue No. 05-4, view C, since the registration rights agreement includes provisions for liquidated damages, the Company determined that the registration rights are a derivative liability. However due to the registration statement becoming effective in August 2005 and other relevant factors, the value of the registration rights was deemed to be de minimus and therefore no liability was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 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.

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.

A-16


The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or In Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18) which require that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.

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 plan 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.

  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, Inventory Costs (“SFAS 151”). The provisions of this statement become effective for the Company in 2006. SFAS 151 amends the existing guidance on the recognition of inventory costs to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Existing rules indicate that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal". In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s valuation of inventories or operating results.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 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 expected 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.

A-17


In December 2004, the FASB issued its final standard on accounting for share-based payments ("SBP"), FASB 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). 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. The effective date for public companies that file as small business issuers is for quarterly or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and applies to all outstanding and unvested SBP awards at a company's adoption. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R during the first quarter of 2006. The Company does not expect the transitional provisions of 123R to have a significant impact on its financial statements. Based upon the Company’s contractual commitments to employees to grant options during 2006 and later years, the Company has determined that the provisions of SFAS 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3" (“SFAS 154”) 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 June 2005, the Emerging Issued Task Force of the FASB (“EITF”) reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements (“EITF 05-6”). EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 30, 2005. EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, “The Meaning of `Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in EITF No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 05-2”), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered `conventional’ for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument’s economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 since the required implementation date. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2005, the EITF released EITF Issue No. 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 05-4”) addresses financial instruments, such as stock purchase warrants, which are accounted for under EITF 00-19 that may be issued at the same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes a liquidated damages clause. The consensus for EITF No. 05-4 has not been finalized. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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”) (“EITF 05-8”): 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.

In September 2005, the EITF reached consensus on, Issue No. 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments” (“EITF 05-7”) beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. Early application of this guidance is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The disclosures required by Statement 154 should be made excluding those disclosures that require the effects of retroactive application. EITF 05-7 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
FBO Air, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FBO Air, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficiency) equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 3, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - Nature of Operations

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, Inc. (“FBO Air”) was incorporated in the State of Arizona. Fixed base operators are the primary providers of services to general aviation aircraft operators. The business strategy of FBO Air and its subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) is to purchase and consolidate fixed base operators in the secondary and tertiary markets located within the United States and to expand its charter aircraft management operations.

From its inception, the Company had been in the development stage and its efforts up to March 31, 2005, had been principally devoted to the organizational activities of raising capital, recruiting and hiring of key personnel, and identifying and screening of potential acquisitions.

On March 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of two operating companies and, on September 23, 2005, the Company acquired an additional operating company. Accordingly, effective March 31, 2005, the Company no longer is considered a development stage entity.

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, 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 stockholders owned 75% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the surviving 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’ deficiency of FBO Air was retroactively restated to its inception on January 17, 2003.

NOTE 2 - Business, Reverse Merger and Acquisitions, continued

On March 31, 2005, FBO Air formed FBO Air-Wilkes-Barre, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the purpose of acquiring the Common 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 Common Stock of a charter and aircraft management company, located in Elmira, New York. (See Note 5).

The acquisitions of the first two operating companies were made as of March 31, 2005. Accordingly, the operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from these first two operating companies are presented within these consolidated financial statements.

The acquisition of the Elmira, NY operation was made as of September 23, 2005. These statements reflect operating results from this acquisition for the period September 23, 2005 through December 31, 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.

NOTE 3 - Going Concern and Management’s Plans, continued  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,330,000 and had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,384,000. The Company generated revenues of approximately $13,806,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Since inception, the Company has incurred, in the aggregate, net losses and net losses applicable to common stockholders of approximately $2,592,000 and $4,739,000, respectively, for the period from January 17, 2003 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005. 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.

As indicated above, management has taken steps to improve the Company’s liquidity. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. There is no assurance that these funds, if raised, will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern.

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 Airborne, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued  

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 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.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash: The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the period. At December 31, 2005, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $1,022,475 in excess of federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable :
The Company’s extends credit to large and mid-size companies for flight related services. The Company has concentrations of credit risk in that 63% of the balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 is made up of only ten customers. At December 31, 2005 accounts receivable from the two largest accounts amounted to approximately $337,000 (9.9%) and $327,000 (9.6%), respectively. 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
Costs incurred on March 31, 2005, April 8, 2005 and April 15, 2005 to issue the convertible preferred stock and the warrants have been capitalized and have been charged to equity as deferred financing costs. Such costs are being amortized as deemed dividends to preferred stockholders over a three year period.

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.
 
Business Combinations
 
In accordance with business combination accounting, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. The Company engaged a third-party appraisal firm to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Management makes estimates of fair values based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from charter management and fuel revenues, managed aircraft agreements, customer relationships and key management and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade names will continue to be used in the combined company's product portfolio; and discount rates. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
 
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. For repairs on aircraft, the Company accrues Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) designated maintenance costs pro rata, based upon the hours flown by the aircraft.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for Goodwill and Intangible Assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangibles that are deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but, instead, are to be reviewed at least annually for impairment. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with the Company's acquisitions described in Note 5 amounting to $4,194,770. The Company has determined that there is no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2005. Intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

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.

NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

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.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 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 the Company’s 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 because the debt agreements provide for interest rates that approximate market.

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.

FBO AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Stock Based Compensation/Stock Options, continued
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or In Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (EITF 96-18) which require that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.

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 plan 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.

Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of the 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 December 31, 2005 and 2004 were 19,926,401 and 4,168,000, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, Inventory Costs (“SFAS 151”). The provisions of this statement will become effective for the Company in 2006. SFAS 151 amends the existing guidance on the recognition of inventory costs to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Existing rules indicate that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal". In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s valuation of inventories or operating results.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 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 expected 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, continued
In December 2004, the FASB issued its final standard on accounting for share-based payments ("SBP"), FASB 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). 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. The effective date for public companies that file as small business issuers is for quarterly or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and applies to all outstanding and unvested SBP awards at a company's adoption. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R during the first quarter of 2006. The Company does not expect the transitional provisions of 123R to have a significant impact on its financial statements. Based upon the Company’s contractual commitments to employees to grant options during 2006 and later years, the Company has determined that the provisions of SFAS 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3" (“SFAS 154”) 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 June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, “The Meaning of `Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in EITF No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 05-2”), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered `conventional’ for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument’s economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 since the required implementation date. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2005, the EITF released EITF Issue No. 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 05-4”) addresses financial instruments, such as stock purchase warrants, which are accounted for under EITF 00-19 that may be issued at the same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes a liquidated damages clause. The consensus for EITF No. 05-4 has not been finalized. During March and April 2005, the Company sold convertible preferred stock with a registration rights agreement and warrants in connection with a private placement (see Note 15). Based on the interpretive guidance in EITF Issue No. 05-4, view C, since the registration rights agreement includes provisions for liquidated damages, the Company determined that the registration rights are a derivative liability. However due to the registration statement becoming effective in August 2005 and other relevant factors, the value of the registration rights was deemed to be de minimus and therefore no liability was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issued Task Force of the FASB (“EITF”) reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements (“EITF 05-6”). EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 30, 2005. EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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”) (“EITF 05-8”): 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.

In September 2005, the EITF reached consensus on, Issue No. 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments” (“EITF 05-7”) beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. Early application of this guidance is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The disclosures required by Statement 154 should be made excluding those disclosures that require the effects of retroactive application. EITF 05-7 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

  Acquisition of Tech Aviation Service, Inc.
On March 31, 2005, FBO Air purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Tech Aviation Service, Inc. (“Tech Aviation”), a fixed base operator conducting business in the Northeast. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, FBO Air paid cash at closing of approximately $2,256,000, applied a deposit of $10,000 and issued notes payable to the Tech Aviation stockholders with a face value aggregating $500,000. The notes bear no stated interest. The notes were discounted at a market interest rate of 5% per annum and recorded at the net discounted value of $432,948. These notes are to be repaid with five annual payments aggregating $100,000 annually, beginning on March 31, 2006.

All assets and liabilities of Tech Aviation have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill relating to the purchase approximated $1,958,000. Identifiable intangible assets included trade names and customer relationships of $100,000 and $20,000, respectively. Trade names have an indefinite life. Customer relationships will be amortized over an estimated useful life of three years.

  Acquisition of Central Plains Aviation, Inc.
On March 31, 2005, a subsidiary of FBO Air 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, FBO Air paid cash at closing of $466,000 and issued a note payable to the Central Plains shareholder for $240,000.

The Company was 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 expected to apply this loan against the potential acquisition and therefore has classified the loan as a non-current asset on the accompanying balance sheet (See Note 20).

NOTE 11 - Term Loan - Related Party

The acquisition of Airborne was funded by a term note payable with a face value of $1,500,000 which matures on March 22, 2006, and bears an annual interest rate of 4.25% through the initial maturity date. FBO Air has elected to exercise the option to extend the maturity date to September 23, 2006, whereupon the promissory note bears an interest rate of 9.25% per annum for the duration of the extended period. 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. FBO Air’s chairman of the board and an entity owned by one of its other directors are the members of the holder’s entity.

In conjunction with the issuance of the term note, FBO Air also issued a five-year warrant to purchase a total of 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The Company allocated $35,000 of the aggregate proceeds from the term notes to the warrant as an original issuance discount, which represented the relative fair value of the warrant at the date of issuance, and amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the term note. The amount amortized to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $20,000.

NOTE 12 - Income Taxes
 
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $1.6 million expiring in various years through 2025, portions of which may be used to offset future taxable income, if any. The Company has deferred tax assets arising from such operating losses for which a full valuation allowance has been established since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 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.

NOTE 13 - Convertible Notes

In April 2004, FBO Air entered into a convertible note “Agreement” with a group of investors (“Investors”) who purchased five-year, 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 as follows: a) $130,000 upon signing; b) $270,000 upon the later to occur of: 1) the reverse merger transaction and 2) the acquisition of a fixed base operator as defined in the Agreement. The convertible notes were scheduled to mature in April 2009, with interest payable quarterly, beginning with the first interest payment, which was due December 1, 2004. During January 2005, FBO Air entered into an amendment of the Agreement with the Investors whereby the due date of the first interest payment was deferred to the date of closing of the first fixed base operator acquisition.

In April 2004, the Company received proceeds from 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 the 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.

FBO Air had the option to pay interest in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock. For the purpose of determining the number of shares to be issued in payment of interest, such shares were to be valued at the average of their fair market value during the five trading days preceding the interest payment date. The notes plus accrued interest were convertible through the maturity date into 40% (at the time of conversion), as defined in the Agreement, of FBO Air’s outstanding shares of the Common Stock. In addition, the holders had certain piggyback registration, tag along and other rights as defined in the Agreement. The Company was required to maintain certain financial and other covenants. On March 31, 2005, the holders converted the entire $400,000 of convertible notes into 4,018,376 shares of the Common Stock.

NOTE 15 - Stockholders’ Equity, continued

The terms of the securities issued on March 31, 2005 are described below:

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock - Mandatorily Redeemable
During February 2005, FBO Air 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. 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 FBO Air, 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 the Common Stock 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 shares of the Common Stock, as provided below. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to elect one director to FBO Air’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) FBO Air’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 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. 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 certificate of designations, the Conversion Price is $0.30 per share. Each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock will convert into that number of shares of the Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of each share of the 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 FBO Air sells shares of the 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, FBO Air 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.

In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock issuance the Company entered into a registration rights agreement.  Under the terms of this registration rights agreement, the Company was to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than sixty days from the Closing Date and use its best efforts to ensure that this Registration Statement would be declared effective within 120 days from the Closing Date.  In the event that the registration statement is not declared effective or the Company fails to maintain an effective registration, the Company is to pay a cash amount equal to 1% per month of the original investment.  Pursuant to EITF  05-4 the registration rights agreement has all the characteristics of a derivative and, therefore should be accounted for as a liability. However due to the registration statement becoming effective in August 2005 and other relevant factors, the value of the registration rights was deemed to be de minimus and therefore no liability was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Beneficial Conversion Feature
Under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders may convert these securities into the Common Stock of the Company at a fixed price of $0.30, subject to certain anti-dilutive adjustments. At March 31, 2005, the date of issuance, this fixed conversion price represented 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 $1,065,625 in accretion of discount was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 15 - Stockholders’ Equity, continued

Beneficial Conversion Feature, continued
During the year ended December 31, 2005, 92 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to 1,516,667 shares of the Common Stock, and unamortized discounts aggregating $345,722 associated with the converted shares have been charged to accumulated deficit. Total accretion of discount for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,411,347 and was reflected as a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders

Under a mandatory redemption provision, FBO Air is required to redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock by March 31, 2008, if not already converted by the holders into the Common Stock. The shares shall be redeemed at their stated value of $5,000 per share.

As of December 31, 2005, dividends of $254,122 have been accrued on the Convertible Preferred Stock. No dividends were declared or paid on July 1, 2005 and September 1, 2005 because, on such dates, the total assets of the Company did not exceed the sum of its total liabilities and the liquidation preference on the Convertible Preferred Stock. Under Nevada law, no dividends may be declared or paid under such circumstances, so the dividends were accrued.

Warrants
On March 31, April 8 and April 15, 2005, FBO Air issued warrants to purchase shares of the Common Stock aggregating approximately 3,620,000 to investors and 1,296,000 to the placement agent. Each warrant, which vests immediately, provides a five-year right to purchase a share of the 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 FBO Air of additional equity securities at a price below the Warrant Exercise Price.

On September 23, 2005, FBO Air issued a warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock totaling 1,200,000 to a lender in conjunction with the issuance of a term note. The warrant, which vested immediately, was issued to an entity owned by FBO Air’s chairman and an affiliate of another director. The warrant provides a five-year right to purchase a share of the 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 of additional equity securities at a price below the Warrant Exercise Price. At the option of FBO Air, the warrant 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 Common Stock is not less than 200,000 shares per day during such 20-day trading period.

Stock Options
During September 2004, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares, 25,000 to each of the four independent directors and 50,000 to a consultant/stockholder of FBO Air. These options have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expire four years from the date of grant. These options vested at the first anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted to non-employees are accounted for under SFAS No. 123, whereby compensation measurement of equity awards is based on their fair value. The fair market value of these options estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was not deemed material.

Effective April 1, 2005, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Common Stock. An option expiring March 31, 2010 to purchase 250,000 shares of the Common Stock was granted to each of (i) Robert J. Ettinger, who was elected as a Vice Chairman of the Board and the Chief Operating Officer of FBO Air; (ii) Jeffrey M. Trenk, who was elected as a Vice Chairman of the Board and the Executive Vice President of Business Development of FBO Air and (iii) Ronald J. Ricciardi, the President and Chief Executive Officer of FBO Air. These options are exercisable at $1.60 per share, the closing sales price on April 1, 2005, and vested immediately upon the grant date.

Effective September 23, 2005, the Board of Directors granted to John H. Dow, employed in the office of Chief Executive of Airborne, an option expiring September 23, 2010 to purchase 250,000 shares of the Common Stock,. The option is exercisable at $0.33 per share, the closing sales price on September 22, 2005, and vested immediately upon the grant date.

During December 2005, the Board of Directors approved the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is administered by FBO Air’s compensation committee and provides for 7,500,000 shares of Common S tock to be reserved for issuance under the Plan. Directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company are eligible to participate. The Plan provides for the awards of incentive and non-statutory stock options. The Committee determined the vesting schedule to be up to five years at the time of grant of any options under the Plan, and unexercised options will expire in ten years. The exercise price is to be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, on the grant date.

Effective December 13, 2005, four non-employee directors were granted options under the plan, expiring three years after date of grant to purchase, in the aggregate, 100,000 shares of the Common Stock. These options are exercisable at $.64 and vest one year from date of the grant.

The agreement requires payment of monthly rents of $6,250 plus additional payments based on certain of the Company’s revenues. These include per-gallon fees for certain fuel sales and commissions on landing, parking, tie-down and other types of fees charged by the Company to its aviation customers.

As of December 31, 2005, the refueling truck lease required monthly rental payments of approximately $6,000. Several airplane leases require monthly rental payments based upon the number of hours that the planes are used.
 
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 was to provide advisory services for financial structuring and planning, bridge financing, special situation transactional services and private equity financing. The Consulting Agreement called 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 (which occurred on March 31, 2005). Included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2005 is an obligation of $45,000 pursuant to this Consulting Agreement.

Captioned Institutional Capital Management, Inc. vs Michael W. Sciacchetano, et. al ., the suit is currently pending in the 215 th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas. On March 28, 2005, FBO Air filed a general denial. Discovery is in the initial stages and mediation is set for mid-May 2006. FBO Air disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

Litigation, continued
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 the Chief Operating Officer of FBO Air and, since March 31, 2005, and also a director. 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, FBO Air and Mr. Ettinger 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 is partly responsible for any alleged damages, (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 certain 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 FBO Air’s motion for summary judgment. Despite such denial, based on the opinion of Wachtel & Masyr, LLP (a related party), its trial counsel, the Company is of the opinion that the likelihood of an adverse judgment against the Company or Mr. Ettinger is remote.

Management believes that the Company has good defenses and intends to vigorously contest these claims asserted against it.  However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these claims and, accordingly, no adjustments have been made in the consolidated financial statements in response to these claims.

NOTE 19 - Related Party Information
 
During the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Jeffrey M. Trenk (and his affiliates) and Ronald J. Ricciardi, as promoters of the Company, provided funds and services to the Company valued at $132,186 and $31,860, respectively, in exchange for the receipt of 1,536,573 and 369,677 shares, respectively, of the Common Stock. Mr. Trenk is currently the Executive Vice President for Business Development and a director of the Company. Mr. Ricciardi is currently the President, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Airborne leases its principal facility in Elmira, NY from John H. Dow, an officer of the Company and a director of FBO Air, and his wife. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company paid approximately $43,000 in rent to Mr. Dow. Airborne manages an aircraft owned by the family of William B. Wachtel, FBO Air’s chairman of the board and for which the amount due included in our accounts payable at December 31, 2005 amounted to approximately $179,000. During the year ended December 31, 2005 we recorded revenues and expenses of $1,300,000 and $1,100,000, respectively, related to our management of this aircraft.
 
On September 23, 2005, FBO Air issued a note payable to a holder, for which Mr. Wachtel and an entity owned by one of its other directors are the members of the holder's entity. This note payable has a face value of $1,500,000 and for the initial period of 180 days, bears an annual interest rate of 4.25%. Effective March 22, 2006, the initial maturity date, FBO Air has elected to extend the maturity to September 23, 2006 with an interest rate of 9.25% per annum applicable to the extended period. 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 FBO Air and all products and proceeds of the foregoing personal property. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded interest costs of approximately $17,000 under this note payable obligation.
 
Mr. Wachtel is also a senior partner of Wachtel & Masyr, LLP, corporate counsel to the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company was billed for legal services of approximately $300,000 and $98,000. At December 31, 2005, we have recorded in accrued expenses an obligation for legal fees of approximately $341,000 related to these legal services.
 
NOTE 20 - Subsequent Events
 
As discussed in Note 8, the Company loaned $350,000 as a note receivable to Maker, a fixed base operator who was a potential acquisition target of the Company.   The Company was expected to apply this loan against the potential acquisition and therefore has classified the loan as a non-current asset on the accompanying balance sheet. On February 1, 2006, having declined to pursue the acquisition, the Company negotiated revised repayment terms whereby the Maker made a $200,000 cash payment with the balance of the principal, plus unpaid interest and our legal fees for a total of about $174,000, to be paid over a twenty-four month period with interest at a rate of six percent (6%) to be paid quarterly and the principal balance due upon maturity.
 
During January 2006, in settlement of certain obligations which were accrued at December 31, 2005, the Company paid $25,000 and issued 25,000 shares of the Common Stock to a former consultant.
 
During the period January through March 2006, 120 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to 2,000,001 shares of the Common Stock.
 
During the period January through March 2006, holders exercised stock options, whereupon FBO Air  issued 207,435 shares of the Common Stock.

ITEM 8.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 8A.   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 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. 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 were not 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 not effective, given the foregoing material weakness. 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 December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
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.

ITEM 14.   PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Marcum & Kliegman was $80,000 and $50,000 for the audits of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s Forms 10-QSB for those fiscal years.
 
Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services categorized as Audit-Related Fees rendered was $0 and $22,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating principally to mergers and acquisitions.
 
Tax Fees . For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the principal accountant billed $10,000 and $3,500, respectively, for tax compliance.
 
All Other Fees . Other than the services described above, the aggregate fees billed for services rendered by the principal accountant was $0 and $0, respectively, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

A-34

 
Audit Committee Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee must pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by its independent auditors, subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act , which should be nonetheless be approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. Each year the independent auditor’s retention to audit our financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Audit Committee before the filing of the previous year’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. At each such subsequent meeting, the auditor and management may present subsequent services for approval. Typically, these would be services such as due diligence for an acquisition, that would not have been known at the beginning of the year.
 
Since May 6, 2003, the effective date of the SEC rules stating that an auditor is not independent of an audit client if the services it provides to the client are not appropriately approved, each new engagement of Marcum & Kliegman LLP, has been approved in advance by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and none of those engagements made use of the de minimus exception to the pre-approval contained in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act.

Section 4   Administration of the Plan.

(a)    Plan Procedure . Grants under the Plan shall be made by the Compensation Committee unless the Board, in its sole discretion, elects to make a grant.

(b)    Power of the Administrator . Subject to the provisions of the Plan, any Applicable Laws and the rules and regulations, if applicable, of any Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i)    to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in accordance with Section 2(n) of the Plan;

(ii)    to select the Consultants, Directors, Employees and Officers to whom Options may from time to time be granted hereunder;

(iii)    to determine the number of shares of the Common Stock to be covered by each such Option granted hereunder;

(iv)    to determine the consideration to be paid upon exercise of an Option consistent with Section 8(b) hereof;

(v)    to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option granted hereunder;

(vi)    to approve forms of Option Agreement for use under the Plan;

(vii)    to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was granted; and

(viii)    to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and the Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

(d)    Effect of Administrator's Decision . All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all holders of Options.

Section 5.   Eligibility.

(a)    Recipients of Grants . Non-Qualified Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, Officers and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee, Director, Officer or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options.

 
5

 

(b)    Type of Option . Each Option shall be designated, in the grant by the Administrator and thereafter reflected in the Option Agreement, as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options with respect to the excess Shares. For purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined as of the date of the grant of such Option.

(c)    No Effect on Employment or Consulting Rights. The Plan shall not confer upon the holder of any Option any right with respect to continuation of an employment or a consulting relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with such holder's right or the Company's or any Subsidiary's right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause. Similarly, the Plan shall not confer upon the holder of any Option any right to continue to serve as a Director or an Officer, such right being governed by the certificate of incorporation, the bylaws and/or the laws of the applicable state of incorporation of the Company or the Subsidiary.
 
(d)    Consultant Eligibility. To be eligible to receive an Option under the Plan, a Consultant must be a natural person and must provide bona fide services to the Company or a Subsidiary which are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities of the Company in a capital raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities.

Section 6.   Term of Plan . The Plan shall become effective upon December 13, 2005, the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, subject to its approval by the stockholders of the Company as described in Section 18 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years until December 12, 2015 unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

Section 7.   Term of Option . The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement and provided further that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.


Section 8.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(a)    Per Share Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, but shall be subject to the following:

 
6

 
 
(i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is:

(A)    granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B)    granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii)    In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; provided that, in isolated cases, the Administrator may grant a Non-Qualified Stock Option at a per Share exercise price which is less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

The date of grant shall be as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 13 hereof.

(b)    Consideration . The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. The consideration may consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) other Shares that (A), in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or such other period as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iv) authorization for the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price and any applicable income or employment taxes, (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. Until the Administrator determines otherwise, in which event notice shall be given to the Optionee or provision shall be made in his or her Option Agreement, any of the foregoing methods of payment shall be acceptable.

Section 9.   Exercise of Option.

(a)    Procedure for Exercise . Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and reflected in the Option Agreement, which may include vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee.

An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has received full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.

Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(b)    Fractional Shares . An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. Any fraction of a Share shall be cancelled.

(c)    Rights as Stockholders. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing the Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Option notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall cause such stock certificate to be issued promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

(d)    Termination of Relationship . Subject to Section 9(e), 9(f) and 9(g) below, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status, such Optionee may, but only within three months (or such other period of time not less than 30 days as is determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of grant of the Option and not exceeding three months) after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(e)    Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding Section 9(d) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as a result of Cause, the Option will forthwith terminate.
 
(f)    Disability of Optionee .

(i)    Notwithstanding Section 9(d) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Optionee may, but only within 12 months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 
8

 

(ii)    In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as a result of a disability which does not fall within the meaning of total and permanent disability (as set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Optionee may, but only within six months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. However, to the extent that such Optionee fails to exercise an Option which is an Incentive Stock Option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) within three months of the date of such termination, the Option will not qualify for incentive stock option treatment under the Code. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within six months or three months, as the case may be, from the date of termination, the Option shall terminate.

(g)    Death of Optionee . Notwithstanding Section 9(d) above, in the event of the death of an Optionee during the period of Continuous Status since the date of grant of the Option, or within 30 days following termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status, the Option may be exercised, at any time within 12 months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by such Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of death or, if earlier, the date of termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death or termination, as the case may be, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
 
(h)    Anything in subsections (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 9 notwithstanding and always subject to the Applicable Laws, particularly the Code in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, and, if applicable, the rules and regulations of any Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, the Administrator may provide in the Option Agreement for a different date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option) and may provide for termination in the event of certain events which the Administrator shall define as Cause or as shall be so defined in any employment or consulting agreement between the Company and the Optionee.

Section 10.   Stock Withholding to Satisfy Withholding Tax Obligations . At the discretion of the Administrator, Optionees may satisfy tax withholding obligations as provided in this Section 10. When an Optionee incurs tax liability in connection with an Option, which tax liability is subject to tax withholding under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may satisfy the withholding tax obligation by one or some combination of the following methods: (a) by cash or check payment, (b) out of the Optionee's current compensation if an Employee, (c) if permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, by surrendering to the Company Shares that (i), in the case of Shares previously acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to, or more than, the Optionee's marginal tax rate times the amount of ordinary income recognized, or (d) by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option, if any, that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").

 
9

 


Any surrender by a Reporting Person of previously owned Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon exercise of this Option must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor Rule.

All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(a)    the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;

(b)    once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares of the Option as to which the election was made; and

(c)    all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator.

Section 11.   Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other
Transa c tions.

(a)    Change in Capitalization . Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan, but as to which no Options have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of the Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

(b)    Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee at least 15 days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c)    Merger or Sale of Assets . In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or a merger of the Company with or into another corporation where the successor corporation issues its securities to the Company's stockholders, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, in which case such Option shall terminate upon the consummation of the merger or sale of assets. In the event the successor corporation does not assume the Option or substitute an equivalent option, the Administrator or the Board, in its sole discretion, may remove any restrictions on exercise of an Option or take whatever other action the Administrator or the Board deems appropriate.

 
10

 

(d)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, or in the event that a Change in Control is anticipated, the Administrator or the Board, in its sole discretion, may permit immediate exercise of Options in their entirety not withstanding any limitations or restrictions in the applicable Option Agreements.

(e)    Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion, appropriately adjust the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such distribution.

Section 12.   Non-Transferability of Options . Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12 to the contrary, upon any exercise of the Option, the Optionee may request that the Shares issuable upon such exercise be issued in his or her name and jointly with, or solely to, a “family member” (as such term is defined in General Instructions A to Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act) if the right to exercise the Option was transferred to such family member by gift or domestic relations order.

Section 13.   Time of Granting Options . The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be either (a) the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or (b) the date on which the Optionee’s relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary commences (or the anniversary of such commencement date), whether pursuant to an employment or consulting agreement or otherwise, whichever of (a) or (b) the Administrator selects in the grant; provided, however, that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the date of grant shall be the later of (x) the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Incentive Stock Option or (y) the date of commencement of the Optionee's employment relationship with the Company (or the anniversary thereof). Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant, which notice may be in the form of the Option Agreement.

Section 14.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan .

(a)    Authority to Amend or Terminate. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of any Optionee under any grant of an Option theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, if the number of Shares that may be optioned and sold pursuant to Section 3 hereof is to be increased (other than pursuant to Section 11 hereof) or to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Act or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other Applicable Laws) or with the requirements of any Stock Exchange or Nasdaq (if the Common Stock is listed or traded thereon), the Company shall obtain stockholders’ approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

 
11

 

(b)    Effect of Amendment or Termination . No amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect Options already granted, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

Section 15.   Conditions upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and, if applicable, the requirements of any Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.

As a condition to the exercise of an Option, if the Shares to be issued upon exercise are not then registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by law.

Section 16.   Reservation of Shares . The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

Section 17.   Option Agreements . Options shall be evidenced by written Option Agreements in such form(s) as the Administrator shall approve from time to time.

Section 18.   Stockholders’ Approval . Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholders’ approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws and the rules or regulations of any Stock Exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed or Nasdaq if the Common Stock is traded thereon. All Options issued under the Plan shall become void in the event such approval is not obtained.
