WORLD AIRWAYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of
results have been included in the Condensed Financial Statements for the
interim periods presented, which are unaudited. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 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 and the results of operations for the six months ended June
30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2002.

These interim period Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying
footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
contained in World Airways' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

3. Capital Stock

In June 2001, World Airways was informed by NASDAQ that the Company's
common stock had not maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 for thirty
consecutive trading days as required by a NASDAQ SmallCap Market rule. The
Company received official notification from NASDAQ in May 2002 that it had
regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00.

In April 2002, the Company was notified by NASDAQ that it was reviewing the
Company's eligibility for continued listing since it was not in compliance
with Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (2) (B), which requires the Company to meet a
minimum net tangible assets, stockholders' equity, market capitalization or
net income from continuing operations requirement for continued listing.
The Company responded to NASDAQ regarding its specific plan to achieve and
sustain compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements. The NASDAQ Staff
was not satisfied that the Company provided a definitive plan evidencing
its ability to achieve near-term compliance within a time frame that the
Staff was able to approve. The Company appealed the Staff's determination
to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel ("Panel") pursuant to procedures
set forth in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4800 Series. The hearing occurred
on July 18, 2002. In the presentation to the Panel, the Company articulated
the steps that have been taken to achieve fiscal 2002 net earnings that
would exceed the minimum listing requirement. The Panel's decision is
pending.

4. Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act

The Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (Stabilization
Act) was enacted on September 22, 2001 in direct response to the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The Act provides for:
a. Compensation to air carriers for direct and incremental losses incurred
resulting from the September 11 events;
b. Loan guarantees to air carriers by the U.S. Government;
c. Reimbursement for increases in certain insurance premiums incurred by
air carriers; and
d. Limitations on liabilities incurred or to be incurred by air carriers as
a result of the September 11 events.

10



Under the Stabilization Act, each air carrier is entitled to receive the
lesser of its actual direct and incremental losses for the period September
11, 2001 to December 31, 2001 or its maximum allocation of grant funds as
determined by the Department of Transportation ("DOT"). In the fourth
quarter of 2001, the Company received a $5.1 million grant from the federal
government. The Company believes that it may receive a maximum of $2.7
million of additional grant funds in 2002, based on the excess of actual
direct and incremental losses over the $5.1 million. However, no additional
grants may be received or the Company may have to return some of the grant
funds already received based on the DOT's final determination of the above
described amounts. Due to the uncertainty of the maximum allocation amount
determined by the DOT and the fact that the DOT has not completed its final
review of the Company's calculation of actual direct and incremental
losses, the Company determined it would not be appropriate to accrue the
benefit of any additional grant funds until their receipt is certain.

The Stabilization Act included an Air Carrier Loan Guarantee program. This
program is designed to assist viable airlines that suffered financially as
a result of September 11th who do not otherwise have access to reasonable
credit. The loan guarantee is subject to certain conditions and fees,
including the potential requirement that the U.S. Government be issued
warrants or other equity instruments in connection with such loan
guarantees. The Company filed an application on June 28, 2002 for $27
million in federal loan guarantees. If the loan guarantee request is
approved, the Company plans to raise a total of $30 million. The Company's
loan application included a detailed seven-year business plan, which showed
increased utilization of existing aircraft, expanded sales efforts,
continued support of the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command program,
lowered costs through process improvements, and continued customer service
initiatives. The loan, if any, would be repaid from 2004 to 2009. However,
there can be no assurance that the application will be approved and that
this source of financing will be available to the Company.

5. Sub-lease

The Company is obligated through April 2006 under a lease agreement for
office space for its former headquarters located in Herndon, Virginia. The
Company sub-leases this office space to a tenant that has recently had
difficulties in making timely rental payments to the Company. The Company
has received rental payments through March 31, 2002 by using proceeds from
a letter of credit provided by the tenant. The sub-lessee is currently
working on obtaining additional financing, which it will use to satisfy its
future lease payments. If the sub-lessee is not able to obtain additional
financing and meet its obligations under the sub-lease agreement, the
Company may seek other tenants. In this case, depending on the ability of
the Company to secure additional tenants at rates approximating the
Company's lease costs, a loss may be incurred. As of June 30, 2002, the
Company believes it is probable that the sub-lessee will perform under the
terms of the lease agreement, and accordingly, no accrual has been
recorded. However, the Company will monitor this situation in forthcoming
quarters. While the Company cannot reasonably estimate what such a loss, if
any, would be, the Company's total obligation at June 30, 2002 under the
lease is $5.9 million through 2006.

6. Aircraft Lease

The Company is obligated to return a DC-10-30 convertible freighter
aircraft to its lessor by the lease termination date of January 15, 2003.
The lease on this aircraft contains contractual provisions related to the
condition of the aircraft upon return to the lessor. The Company expects to
incur expenses in the third and fourth quarters of 2002 to satisfy the
return conditions of the lease. The cost of satisfying these return
conditions is not yet determinable.

7. GMAC

For the quarter ending June 30, 2002, the Company failed the tangible net
worth covenant in its GMAC loan facility. GMAC agreed not to, and forbear
to, take any action with respect to such default until September 30, 2002,
provided that the Company's financial condition does not deteriorate as
determined by GMAC at their sole discretion. The Company has a signed
letter of intent with another financial institution to replace GMAC and
expects a decision by this institution's formal credit committee by the end
of August with a closing by the end of September. Borrowings and letters of
credit outstanding under the GMAC facility were $12.1 million and $1.2
million at June 30, 2002. The $12.1 million in borrowings is included in
the current liabilities section of the Balance Sheet.

8. Other

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 144 - "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121 and the portion of the
Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 30 that deals with disposal of a
business segment. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144,
which did not have an effect on our results of operations.

11



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Part I, Item 2 of this report should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7
of World Airways, Inc. ("World Airways" or the "Company") Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The information contained herein is
not a comprehensive management overview and analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company, but rather updates disclosures made in
the aforementioned filing.

The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). Therefore, this
report contains forward looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the reliance on key strategic
alliances, fluctuations in operating results and other risks detailed from time
to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These risks could cause the Company's actual results for 2002 and beyond to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made
by, or on behalf of, the Company.

OVERVIEW

General

For the second quarter of 2002, the Company's net earnings were $2.0 million
compared to a net loss of $9.2 million for the same period in 2001.

The following table provides statistical data, used by management in evaluating
the operating performance of the Company, for the quarters ended June 30, 2002
and 2001.

Significant Customer Relationships

The Company is highly dependent on revenues from the U.S. Air Force ("USAF").
The loss of the USAF as a customer would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company's principal customers, and the percent of revenues from
those customers, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are
as follows:



Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
---------------------- -------------------------
2002 2001 2002 2001
---- ---- ---- ----

USAF 79.6% 72.1% 78.5% 62.0%
Emery Air Freight Corporation ("Emery") 8.3% 7.5% 7.8% 7.0%
Sonair Serviceo Aereo ("Sonair") 6.0% 8.2% 6.2% 8.4%


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Operating Revenues. Revenues from operations increased $11.8 million, or 15.4%,
to $88.4 million in 2002 from $76.6 million in 2001. The increase was due to
more block hours flown for the USAF as well as a higher average yield, or
revenue per block hour, as a result of more full service block hours flown in
2002 versus 2001. The increased USAF flying resulted from increased movement of
troops due to U.S. military activity in the Middle East.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $1.6 million, or 1.9% in
2002 to $85.3 million from $83.7 million in 2001.

Flight operations expenses include all expenses related directly to the
operation of the aircraft other than aircraft costs, fuel and maintenance. Also
included are expenses related to flight dispatch and flight operations
administration. Flight operations expenses increased $0.2 million, or 0.8%, in
2002. This resulted primarily from an increase of $1.3 million in euro-control
communication costs and $0.3 million in catering costs, offset by a decrease of
$1.3 million in pilot and flight attendant costs caused by lower
travel/personnel costs and simulator fees.

Maintenance expenses decreased $4.0 million, or 25.6%, in 2002. In the second
quarter of 2001, the Company expensed $1.4 million for an engine overhaul and
there were no comparable overhauls done in the 2002 second quarter. The Company
also benefited in 2002 from a decrease of $2.2 million in routine maintenance
checks and component repairs due to timing of maintenance service being
performed. Maintenance travel/personnel expenses were down $0.4 million in the
second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period last year.

Aircraft rent and insurance costs increased $2.3 million, or 12.2%, in 2002.
This resulted primarily from an increase in the number of average aircraft to
15.5 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 12.2 in the same quarter of 2001,
as well as higher hull and war risk insurance costs in 2002.

Fuel expenses increased $3.4 million, or 35.3%, in 2002 due to higher per-gallon
costs as well as more consumption associated with the increase in full service
flying. The Company is generally able to pass fuel cost increases through to its
customers.

Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 7.4%, in
2002. The decrease in 2002 was primarily due to lower wages, travel/personnel
expenses and outside services compared to the second quarter of 2001. These
costs were incurred for the relocation of the Company's headquarters from
Virginia to Georgia in 2001.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Operating Revenues. Revenues from operations increased $26.1 million, or 17.4%,
to $176.4 million in 2002 from $150.3 million in 2001. The increase was due to
more block hours flown as well as a higher average yield, or revenue per block
hour, as a result of more full service USAF hours as a percent of total hours in
2002 compared to 2001.

13



Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $1.0 million, or 0.6% in
2002 to $167.1 million from $166.1 million in 2001.

Flight operations expenses include all expenses related directly to the
operation of the aircraft other than aircraft costs, fuel and maintenance. Also
included are expenses related to flight dispatch and flight operations
administration. Flight operations expenses increased $2.2 million, or 4.5%, in
2002. This resulted primarily from an increase of $1.4 million in euro-control
communication costs, $0.5 million in catering costs and $0.5 million in
landing/handling expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in pilot and
flight attendant costs caused by lower travel/personnel costs and simulator
fees.

Maintenance expenses decreased $11.0 million, or 33.5%, in 2002. In the first
six months of 2001, the Company expensed $4.5 million for engine and thrust
reverser overhauls, and there were no comparable overhauls done in 2002. The
Company expensed an additional $2.2 million for landing gear overhauls in the
first six months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2002. In addition, the
Company benefited from a decrease of $4.8 million in routine maintenance checks
and component repairs during the first six months of 2002 compared to 2001. In
addition, in the first quarter of 2001, the Company had approximately $2.0
million of component repair invoices related to work that was in-process while
at the same time initiating a power-by-the-hour maintenance agreement for MD-11
aircraft components.

Aircraft rent and insurance costs increased $5.3 million, or 14.4%, in 2002.
This resulted primarily from an increase in the number of average aircraft to
15.2 in the first six months of 2002 compared to 11.6 in the same period of
2001, as well as higher hull and war risk insurance costs in 2002.

Fuel expenses increased $7.6 million, or 43.0%, in 2002 due to higher per-gallon
costs as well as more consumption associated with the increase in full service
flying. The Company is generally able to pass fuel cost increases through to its
customers.

Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.5 million, or 14.5%, in
2002. The decrease in 2002 was primarily due to $2.2 million in severance,
travel and moving costs associated with the relocation of the Company's
headquarters from Virginia to Georgia in 2001. In addition, outside service
costs for the first six months of 2001 were $0.8 million higher due to positions
being filled by temporary personnel as well as payments to consultants and other
vendors in connection with the move to Georgia.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is highly leveraged. At June 30, 2002, the Company's current assets
were $54.5 million and current liabilities were $76.8 million. The ratio of the
Company's current assets to its current liabilities ("current ratio") was 0.7:1.
Also, as of June 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding long-term debt and
capital leases of $40.5 million and notes payable and current maturities of
long-term debt of $13.8 million. In addition, the Company has significant
long-term obligations relating to operating leases for aircraft and spare
engines. At June 30, 2002, the Company had submitted all of its available
eligible receivables under its Accounts Receivable Management and Security
Agreement ("the Agreement") with GMAC Commercial Credit, LLC ("GMAC").

For the quarter ending June 30, 2002, the Company failed the tangible net worth
covenant in its GMAC loan facility. GMAC agreed not to, and forbear to, take
any action with respect to such default until September 30, 2002, provided that
the Company's financial condition does not deteriorate as determined by GMAC at
their sole discretion. The Company has a signed letter of intent with another
financial institution to replace GMAC and expects a decision by this
institution's formal credit committee by the end of August with a closing by the
end of September. Borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the GMAC
facility were $12.1 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2002. The $12.1
million in borrowings is included in the current liabilities section of the
Balance Sheet.

In the second quarter of 2002, the Company continued to pay amounts less than
its original contractual aircraft rent obligations under agreements with its
lessors that amended the terms of the original aircraft lease agreements to
provide for the repayment of the unpaid contractual rent obligations. The
Company continued to recognize expense for the full amount of its contractual
rent payments due. The accrual for unpaid contractual rent obligations is $17.0
million and is included as accrued rent in the current liabilities section of
the Balance Sheet at June 30, 2002.

The Stabilization Act included an Air Carrier Loan Guarantee program. This
program is designed to assist viable airlines that suffered financially as a
result of September 11/th/ who do not otherwise have access to reasonable
credit. The loan guarantee is subject to certain conditions and fees, including
the potential requirement that the U.S. Government be issued warrants or other
equity instruments in connection with such loan guarantees. The Company filed an
application on June 28, 2002 for $27 million in federal loan guarantees. If the
loan guarantee request is approved, the Company plans

14



to raise a total of $30 million. The Company's loan application included a
detailed seven-year business plan, which showed increased utilization of
existing aircraft, expanded sales efforts, continued support of the U.S. Air
Force Air Mobility Command program, lowered costs through process improvements,
and continued customer service initiatives. The loan, if any, would be repaid
from 2004 to 2009. However, there can be no assurance that the application will
be approved and that this source of financing will be available to the Company.

Although there can be no assurances, World Airways believes that the combination
of its existing contracts and additional business which it expects to obtain,
along with its existing cash and financing arrangements, will be sufficient to
allow the Company to meet its cash requirements related to operating and capital
requirements for 2002.


Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $6.3 million in cash during the six months ended
June 30, 2002 compared to using $8.9 million in the comparable 2001 period. The
cash provided in 2002 principally reflects the $6.9 million net earnings, net
non-cash income statement charges of $1.5 million, a $0.6 million decrease in
accounts receivable and a net increase of $2.7 million in operating assets and
liabilities. The decrease of $8.9 million in 2001 is mainly due to the $19.3
million loss for the first six months, net non-cash income statement charges of
$4.5 million, a $4.0 million reduction in accounts receivable, and a net
decrease of $1.9 million in operating assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $0.9 million in the first six months of 2002 and 2001,
due to the purchase of rotable spare parts less proceeds from the sale and
maturity of marketable investments and disposal of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used $0.8 million in cash for the six months ended June 30,
2002, which was primarily due to deferred aircraft rent obligations of $7.3
million offset by a reduction in the amount owed under the Agreement with GMAC
of $7.2 million and debt repayments of $0.9 million. Financing activities used
$1.3 million in cash in the six months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to $8.8
million of debt repayments offset by $7.7 million of proceeds from
sale/leaseback transactions.
