Annual Report


Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION AND CERTAIN CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Our fiscal year ends January 31. This document contains certain forward-looking statements including, among others, planned capital expenditure requirements, cash and working capital requirements, our expectations regarding the adequacy of current financing arrangements, fight demand and market growth, other statements regarding future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include (i) changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Report, including "Risk Factors," "Description of Business" and the Financial Statements attached hereto as Item 7 and the related exhibits. The various sections of this discussion contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Report. See "Forward-Looking Statements." Our actual results may differ materially.

Overview

Our discussion and analysis of operations is 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 financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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 could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management's discussion and analysis or plan of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.


We began our operations in late March 2007, and have not as yet attained a level of operations which allows us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations within our first few business operating cycles, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, infrastructure and significant marketing/investor related expenditures to gain market recognition, so that we can achieve a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure, none of which can be assured. While we have funded our initial operations through private placements of equity and bridge loans, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Passenger revenue is the gross amount charged to customers and is recognized when the charter services are provided. Other revenues such as catering or ground arrangements are also recognized when the services are provided based upon the gross amount billed to customers. We have evaluated the provisions of EITF 99-19 and have concluded that we should report revenues gross with a separate display of the cost of sales while acting as an agent or broker since we take on the credit risk associated with the receivable and are primarily obligated to the supplier.

We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options in connection with stock based compensation charges. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

Due to our limited history as a public company, we have estimated expected volatility based on the historical volatility of certain companies as determined by management. The risk-free rate for the expected term of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on our intent not to issue a dividend as a dividend policy. Due to our limited operating history, management estimated the term to equal the contractual term.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our operating income, net income and net income per share.


The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's 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 may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Results of Operations

FEBUARY 1, 2007 (DATE OF INCEPTION) THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2008

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the year ended
January 31, 2008 expressed as a percentage of total revenues:

                  Revenues                               100.0 %
                  Operating costs and expenses:
                  Charter costs                           86.0
                  Salaries, wages and benefits            32.4
                  Other operating costs                   22.3
                  Depreciation and amortization             .9
                  Total operating costs and expenses     141.6
                  Operating loss                         (41.6 )
                  Other - net                             (3.5 )
                  Net Loss                               (45.1 )%

Our operations began in the last week of March 2007 and, accordingly, since inception our operations consisted principally of developing a business plan; seeking capital; establishing headquarters in New York, as well as 2 additional offices in Boca Rotan, FL and Beverly Hills, CA; and recruiting staff. Revenues were the result of 481 trips. The operating margin reflects our start-up stage and the competitive methods it has taken to enter into this market. Compensation and benefits expense includes a non-cash charge of $1.7 million principally resulting from the issuance of stock options to employees and consultants in August 2007 which were fully vested. However, it is also anticipated that our operating costs and expenses will continue to increase to support a higher level of revenues. Increased costs will be attributable to increased head counts, principally sales personnel and support staff for our multi-office infrastructure and increased marketing expenditures to promote our services. In addition, as a public reporting entity, compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations will increase general and administrative costs substantially.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations began in March 2007, and have not as yet attained a level of operations which allows us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations within our first operating cycle, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, infrastructure expenses and significant marketing/investor related expenditures to gain market recognition, so that we can achieve a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure, none of which can be assured. While we have funded our initial operations with private placements of equity and bridge loans, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

As of January 31, 2008, our cash balance was $495,000. We began operations during the year ended January 31, 2008 with initial funding of $485,000, net of expenses, from investors in a private offering. In May 2007, we borrowed $1.5 million, without interest, through the issuance of promissory notes. At the time, the lenders agreed that the indebtedness would convert into our common stock on the same terms as provided in a subsequent private placement. On August 2, 2007 through August 14, 2007, we borrowed an additional $490,000, at 6% interest, to be paid out of the proceeds of the next financing. On August 17 and 22, 2007, we closed on a private placement of 49.9 units, in which we received net proceeds of $3.5 million, after placement agent and other fees and from which we repaid the $490,000 of loans. As part of the private placement, the $1.5 million loans mentioned above were converted into 1.5 units.

Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities: During the period from February 1, 2007 (date of inception) through January 31, 2008, our operations resulted in negative cash outflows of $4.0 million, which was the result of a net loss of $3.4 million, after reduction for non-cash charges of $2.1 million and the buildup of net working capital items by $588,000, excluding cash.

Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities: In the period from February 1, 2007 (inception) to January 31, 2008, the Company used cash to acquire property and equipment of $550,000.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities: The Company's initial funding was derived from equity investors ($485,000, net of expenses) and bridge loans of $2 million. In August 2007, we closed on a private placement of 49.9 units, consisting of 100,000 shares of our common stock and 50,000 warrants to buy our common stock at $1 per share, in which we received net proceeds of $3.0 million, after placement agent and other fees and from which we repaid the $490,000 of loans. As part of the private placement, the $1.5 million of the bridge loans were converted into 1.5 units.


Commitments and Contingencies

We entered into employment agreements with Christian Matteis to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer. The initial term of the agreement is three years, with automatic one-year renewals following this three-year period. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Matteis was to receive an annual base salary of $500,000, $525,000 and $550,000, respectively, for the first three years, and then an agreed upon salary (of not less than the amount of their third year's salary) for all future years of employment. Pursuant to an amendment to his agreement in December, 2007, Mr. Matteis' base salary was reduced to $300,000 per year. If his employment is terminated without cause or if either resigns for good reason, we will be obligated to pay him, as severance, his then current annual base salary and annual bonuses (as such is defined within the agreement) for one year (or for the remainder of the term, if longer than one year).

Shortly after our engagement of Mr. Matteis, Blue Star Jets, our competitor and Mr. Matteis' former employer, filed a lawsuit against us. See Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" for a description of the current status of this litigation. Mr. Matteis' employment agreement provides for advancement and indemnification of costs and expenses in connection with litigation related to his former employment.

Except as set forth Item 3 - Legal Proceedings, there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Company. In the opinion of management, on the advice of counsel, we have made adequate provision for potential liabilities, if any, arising from potential claims arising from litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings.

We lease our headquarters and sales facilities in New York and additional sales offices in Boca Rotan, Florida and Beverly Hills, California. Minimum annual lease payments are approximately $294,000 for 2009 and $136,000 for 2010 (aggregating $430,000).

In February 2008, we retained a sales representative company under a five year arrangement. Compensation is based upon a percentage of the gross profits earned by us. The agreement provides for performance standards for the sales representative which if not achieved can result in early termination of the agreement. The sales representative was advanced $195,000, including $60,000 paid prior to January 31, 2008. The advances are to be repaid from the representative's earnings; however, if certain performance levels are achieved within the first fourteen months of the contract, a portion of the advance will be forgiven. In addition, if during the first fourteen months of the contract, the sales representative generates gross profits of $2 million the sales representative will be granted 300,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock and for each additional $1 million of gross profit (a maximum of $10,000,000) during the period the sales representative will receive 100,000 options.


Except as set forth Item 3 - Legal Proceedings, there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Company. In the opinion of management, on the advice of counsel, we have made adequate provision for potential liabilities, if any, arising from potential claims arising from litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

SAB 108

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. We considered the impact of SAB 108 to be not material.

SFAS 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for our yearend 2009, although early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the potential effect of SFAS 157 on our financial statements.

FIN 48

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (''FIN 48'')". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
