FUELSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2013. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

Organization and Nature of Operation

 

Fuelstream, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 1996 under the name of “Durwood, Inc.” From April 6, 1999 to April 9, 2010, the Company operated as a sports marketing firm under the name of “Sportsnuts” Inc. On April 9, 2010, the Company changed its name to Fuelstream, Inc. and changed its business model to become a fuel transportation and logistics company.

 

On April 11, 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (“Joint Venture”) with Aviation Fuel International, Inc., a Florida corporation (“AFI”) and a purchaser and reseller of aviation fuel for commercial and private aircraft. The Joint Venture required the Company to contribute up to $200,000 in respect of supplying aviation fuel to various commercial aircraft via tanker trucks which were intended to be acquired by the Joint Venture. The Company ultimately contributed $183,500 in connection with the Joint Venture. On January 18, 2012, the Joint Venture was terminated upon completion of the acquisition of AFI, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (refer to note 3).

 

On May 10, 2012, the Company along with two partners formed AFI South Africa LLC (“AFI SA”), immediately the Company purchased shares of the other partners to become 100% owner of AFI SA (refer to note 3). AFI SA was effective as Limited Liability Company under the Act by the filing organization with the office of the Secretary of State of Florida on May 11, 2012. The Company has been organized for the purpose of partnering with Global Aviation for brokering the sale of Fuel for aircraft in South Africa.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.

 

 

FUELSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

ASC605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated

 

Cash

 

The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of timing differences such as deferred officers’ compensation and stock based compensation accounting.

 

Net Loss per share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Stock based compensation

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

 

Stock based compensation recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $654,410 and $5,883,875, respectively.

 

Financial Instruments

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

-Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities inactive markets.

 

 

FUELSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

- Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

 

Recently Accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has adopted all applicable recently-issued accounting pronouncements.  The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including any not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $51,842,805 from inception of the Company through December 31, 2012. It should be noted that prior to the acquisition of AFI as discussed in Note 3, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,105,264 as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2013 was $54,010,653 and the total stockholders’ deficit at September 30, 2013 was $5,365,875 and had working capital deficit (current liabilities minus current assets) of $5,101,765, continued losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors combined, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address and alleviate these concerns are as follows:

 

The Company’s management continues to develop a strategy of exploring all options available to it so that it can develop successful operations and have sufficient funds, therefore, as to be able to operate over the next twelve months. The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues by brokering the sale of aircraft fuel. No assurance can be given that funds will be available, or, if available, that it will be on terms deemed satisfactory to management.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION

 

On January 18, 2012 the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Aviation Fuel International, Inc., a Florida corporation (“AFI”). AFI is a purchaser and reseller of aviation fuel for commercial and private aircraft. The consideration for the acquisition of AFI consisted of 7,400,000 shares of restricted common stock and a note payable in the amount of $1,000,000. On June 25, 2013, the Company disaffirmed the note payable of $1,000,000. However, until the Company receives a judicially approved release, the note payable will remain on the financial statements and is included in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2013. Prior to the acquisition, AFI had accumulated notes payable of $1,356,300 and accounts payable of $536,610. These liabilities have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These liabilities are due from AFI and were not incurred or guaranteed by the parent company, Fuelstream, Inc.

 

NOTE 4 - LOSS CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is involved with various legal proceedings as described in Part II Item I of this Form 10-Q.

NOTE 6 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

The accounts payable of $892,156, as of September 30, 2013, includes two parties who are seeking motion for entry for final garnishment judgment, The Company has assumed these two accounts payable with the acquisition of AFI (refer to note 3). Per court order interest is calculated at rate of 6% per annum on $325,138 on one of the accounts payable and 18% on $211,471 of the second accounts payable. Accrued interest on accounts payable balance as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is $98,223 and $74,948, respectively.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE/NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

 

Convertible note issued March 12, 2012

 

On March 12, 2012, the Company issued a $250,000 Convertible Promissory Note which is convertible into 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the holder’s option, or $1.00 per share, and there is no fluctuation in this conversion rate.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company recognized an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the note. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $250,000 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the note. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is charged to current period operations as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company amortized $91,121 and $-0-, respectively, beneficial debt discount to the operations as interest expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company amortized $30,708 and $-0-, respectively, beneficial debt discount to the operations as interest expense. In the year 2012, the holder of the promissory note made payments of $200,000 directly to vendors of the Company for purchase of fuel and paid $50,000 directly to the Company. As part of the joint venture agreement the Company has agreed to pay 37.5% of all the profits generated by all the fuel transactions in South Africa. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has paid $-0- to the joint venture partner.

The Company received net $90,000 from the debenture holder and balance $10,000 were paid towards the legal expenses.

 

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the Convertible Promissory Note entered into on February 1, 2013. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Convertible Promissory Note, the Company determined a fair value of $206,062 of the embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Binomial Lattice Model based on the following assumptions:

 

Dividend yield:   -0-%
Volatility   200.33%

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the Convertible Promissory Note entered into in July, 2013 and August, 2013. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Convertible Promissory Note, the Company determined a fair value of $334,639 of the embedded derivative.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.

 

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. As required by ASC 820, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the years ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, on a recurring basis:

 

Assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013:

 

   Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total
Liabilities                    
Derivative liability   —      —     $264,110   $264,110 
Total   —      —     $264,110   $264,110

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of September 30, 2013:

 

   Derivative
Liability
Balance, December 31, 2012  $265,589 
Initial fair value of debt derivatives at note issuances   540,701 
Extinguished derivative liability   (334,080)
Mark-to-market at September 30, 2013     
-Embedded debt derivatives   (208,100)
Balance, September 30, 2013  $264,110 
      
Net gain for the period included in earnings relating to the liabilities held at September 30, 2013  $264,110 

 

 

The carrying value of short term financial instruments including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short period of maturity for these instruments. The long-term debentures payable approximates fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.

 

NOTE 11 - COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTIONS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Fuelstream, Inc. (hereafter, “Fuelstream,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included herein. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, or future strategies that are signified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," or similar language. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. Prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth herein, and the Company cautions investors that its business and financial performance is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

 

Overview

 

We are an in-wing and on-location supplier and distributor of aviation fuel to corporate, commercial, military, and privately-owned aircraft throughout the world. We also provide a variety of ground services either directly or through our affiliates, including concierge services, passenger and baggage handling, landing rights, coordination with local aviation authorities, aircraft maintenance services, catering, cabin cleaning, customs approvals, and third-party invoice reconciliation. Our personnel assist customers in flight planning and aircraft routing aircraft, obtaining permits, arranging overflies, and flight follow services.

 

Our core business has developed as a result of a joint venture and eventual acquisition of Aviation Fuel International, Inc., now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AFI”). The Company’s principal sources of revenues are expected to result from the gross selling price of fuel delivery contracts and associated services. Expenses which comprise the costs of goods sold are expected to include the acquisition price of fuel transported, as well as operational and staffing costs of the trucks and other vehicles used for delivery. General and administrative expenses have been comprised of administrative wages and benefits; occupancy and office expenses; outside legal, accounting and other professional fees; travel and other miscellaneous office and administrative expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include selling/marketing wages and benefits; advertising and promotional expenses; travel and other miscellaneous related expenses.

 

On June 21, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement to create a fuel logistics joint venture with South African based Global Airways ("Global"). Global is an international air transport organization whose activities cover acquisition, refurbishment, heavy maintenance, leasing and chartering of air crafts throughout South Africa. We expect that this transaction will expand the Company’s international footprint in a market that is developing standardized systems to meet the aviation fueling needs of commercial and cargo carriers.

 

The partnership with Global underlines the company's strategic plan to generate new revenue streams by partnering with aircraft leasing and MRO businesses and includes the development, operation and management of the fuel storage, supply and logistic operations located in South Africa. It is anticipated that the partnership will oversee the logistics delivery of up to 3 Million gallons of Jet-A Fuel per month by the end of 2013 if the Company is able to secure sufficient means of financing the purchase of such fuel.

 

Our ability to generate revenues during the year 2013 and beyond depends substantially upon the Company’s resources available in order to develop and grow the business of AFI as a supplier of fuel and logistics. Such efforts require significant systems development, marketing and personnel costs, which, in turn, require substantial funding. If we are unable to obtain such funding, its ability to generate revenues will be significantly impaired and we may be unable to continue operations.

 

 

 

Because the Company has incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial. No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carryforwards, given the uncertainty of the Company being able to utilize such loss carryforwards in future years. We anticipate incurring additional losses during the coming year.

 

Results of Operations

 

Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Revenues. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, net revenues were $30,000 compared to $342,370 and $740,907, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. In the future, the Company’s sole source of revenue is expected to be related to fuel delivery contracts and associated services. The decrease is the result of the lack of operating capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The company is attempting to remedy this by raising funds through the issuance of stock and promissory notes.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $26,895 compared to $189,027 and $566,925, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease is due to the lack of operating capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of sales correlates with the amount of revenues during the related periods presented.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $444,265 compared to $6,050,068 during the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,363,113 compared to $6,907,605 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company has made a concerted effort to decrease these expenses as it tries to increase revenues. The Company recorded $670,000 in bad debts expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company issued non-cash stock compensation in the amount of $87,112 and $654,410 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company expects that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash- instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our fuel brokerage business.

 

Other Income (Expense). The Company had net other expenses of $547,955 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $25,092 during the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had net other expenses of $807,840 compared to $75,459 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Other expenses incurred were comprised primarily of interest expenses related to balances on Company credit cards, and interest on notes payable including amortization of debt discount and setoff with gain on change in derivative liability. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, interest expense was $618,486 and $25,092, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, interest expense was $1,015,940 and $75,459, respectively. The increase in interest expense is the result of the increase in the balances on notes payable and the amortization of debt discount.

 

Net Loss. The Company had a net loss of $989,115 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of $5,921,817 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company had a net loss of $2,167,848 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of $6,809,082 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net loss was mainly due to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and offset by increase in interest expenses as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2013, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $-0- in cash and cash equivalents. We hold most of our cash reserves in local checking accounts with local financial institutions. Since inception, we

 

 

have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.

 

We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in a total stockholders’ deficit at September 30, 2013 of $5,365,875 and are currently experiencing a substantial shortfall in operating capital which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We anticipate a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming months, without additional cash inflows from an increase in revenues combined with continued cost-cutting or a receipt of cash from capital investment, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.

 

There is presently no agreement in place with any source of financing for the Company and we cannot assure you that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect the Company and its business, and may cause us to cease operations. Consequently, shareholders could incur a loss of their entire investment in the Company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Evaluation on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Ryan International Airlines. One of our subsidiaries, Aviation Fuel International ("AFI") is involved in disputes with two airlines: Ryan International Airlines, LLC ("Ryan") and Direct Air. Both aviation fuel customers litigation arise out of disputed amounts for the delivery of Jet Fuel. Ryan Air failed to pay for fuelings received from AFI. AFI filed under the commercial lien laws as required to secure a lien on the planes fueled in order to protect their receivable due from Ryan. Disagreements between the parties resulted in both parties filing separate lawsuits in three actions. Ryan filed a cause of action in Case No. 09-57580, Ryan International Airlines, Inc. v. Aviation Flight Services, LLC (“AFS”) and Aviation Fuel International, Inc., (“AFI”), and sought recovery of $1,491,308.66 allegedly paid to AFS as pre-payment of aviation fuel and flight services under a contractual relationship between Ryan and AFS. AFI moved to dismiss the action, to which, Ryan has subsequently filed a notice of removal to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Bankruptcy Division Case No.: 12-80802. AFI filed an action for breach of contract for Ryan’s failure to pay certain Jet Fuel invoices for the delivery of fuel in the amount of $678,000 plus interest; Aviation Fuel International v. Ryan International Airlines, Inc., a Kansas corporation, Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, Trustee N.A., a Utah corporation, RUBLOFF 757-MSN24794LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, RYAN 767 LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, AFT TRUST SUB I, a Delaware corporation, RYAN 767 N123 LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and RUBLOFF 440 LLC, an Illinois corporation, Civil Action Case No. CACE 10-037788-04. AFI also filed the corresponding claims of liens under the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch, for each plane, registered and tail wing number listed therein. This action has also been recently noticed for been removal to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Bankruptcy Division Case No.: 12-80802. In addition, as a result of Ryan’s filing a Federal Involuntary Bankruptcy Petition against Aviation Flight Services (“AFS”) on June 10, 2010, Case No.: 10-27313-JKO, (S.D. of Fla.), our subsidiary AFI, also filed and was discharged as a creditor in the amount of $269,000. However, the obligations for the unpaid fuelings owed to AFI still remain outstanding as obligations due to AFI.

 

Southern Sky Air Tours, d/b/a Myrtle Beach Direct Air and Tours (Direct Air). On or about March 13, 2012, Southern Sky Air Tours, d/b/a Myrtle Beach Direct Air and Tours (“Direct Air”) ― a public charter operator ― ceased operations. Direct Air has subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (Worcester)(Case no. 12-40944). The Company currently has $122,000 in cash in escrow with Suntrust Bank, representing a partial payment by Direct Air for Fuel. This action is currently pending before the court, as it relates to the collection of the garnishment.

 

Russell Adler. On January 11, 2013, Russell Adler, our former Chief Executive Officer, filed a cross-complaint against the Company, AFI, and other associated persons in the Seventeenth Judicial District Court, Broward County, Florida. Mr. Adler’s complaint alleges various causes of action, including indemnification from the Company in respect of litigation described above, damages for breach of Mr. Adler’s employment contract, fraud, unpaid legal fees, unjust enrichment, and quantum meruit. We believe Mr. Adler’s claims are without merit and intend to defend the same.

 

As a result of the non-payment for Jet Fuel by AFI customers, AFI’s suppliers have filed actions that have resulted in judgment and garnishments, in the amount of $330,000. Most of these fuel outstanding fuel delivery charges are secured in the bankruptcy action involving Ryan as described above, through lien filings by both the issuer and individual fuel providers. In addition, AFI incurred certain loan and debt obligations for which the Company is attempting to convert into common stock of the issuer.

 

 

 

From time to time, we are also a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with purchasers and suppliers of fuel. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
