NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

 
 i 

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included to make the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2022 and its results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 not misleading. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any full year or any other interim period.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global and United States economies. Federal, state, and local governments implemented certain travel restrictions, “stay-at-home” orders, and social distancing initiatives which negatively impacted our operations and those of our customers. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 17, 2020 all sightseeing tour operations at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport ceased. On July 20, 2020, New York City started Phase 4 of the city’s reopening. Sightseeing tour operators at the heliport restarted operations under this phase.

 

For the period July 20, 2020 through March 31, 2022, sightseeing tour operators experienced much lower demand for tours as compared to pre-pandemic levels of activity. Beginning in April 2022, sightseeing tour operators have seen an increase in activity and a much higher demand for tours. There can be no assurance that this increased activity will continue as demand for sightseeing tours will depend on future developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and spread and related travel advisories and restrictions and the impact on overall demand for air travel. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a less substantial impact on our operations at our Kansas FBO and MRO.

NOTE 2Liquidity and Material Agreements

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and restricted cash of $ i 3,514,584 and a working capital surplus of $ i 4,194,988. We generated revenue of $ i 5,273,498 and had net income of $ i 690,890 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows included net cash provided by operating activities of $ i 1,598,472, net cash used in investing activities of $ i 501,644, and net cash used in financing activities of $ i 29,150.

 

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 21, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 15, 2018 the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Key Bank National Association (the “Bank”). The Loan Agreement contains three components: (i) a $ i 2,500,000 acquisition line of credit (the “Key Bank Acquisition Note”); (ii) a $ i 1,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Key Bank Revolver Note”); and (iii) a $ i 338,481 term loan (the “Key Bank Term Note”). On October 11, 2018, and as subsequently amended, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with the Bank (as so amended, the “Change of Terms Agreement”) which modified the original terms of the Key Bank Acquisition Note. The Bank notified the Company of its decision to discontinue the Key Bank Acquisition Note, effective June 30, 2021There were  i no amounts due under the Changes of Terms Agreement at June 30, 2022 or 2021.

 

The Key Bank Revolver Note, at the discretion of the Bank, provides for the Company to borrow up to $ i 1,000,000 for working capital and general corporate purposes. This revolving line of credit is a demand note with no stated maturity date. Borrowings under the Key Bank Revolver Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one-day LIBOR (adjusted daily) plus  i 2.75%. The Bank notified the Company in 2022 that LIBOR had been replaced with Daily Simple SOFR. The Company is required to make monthly payments of interest on any outstanding principal under the Key Bank Revolver Note and is required to pay the entire balance, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, upon demand by the Bank. Any proceeds from the Key Bank Revolver Note would be secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. There were  i no amounts due under the Key Bank Revolver Note or Key Bank Term Note at June 30, 2022 or 2021.

On August 14, 2020, the Company was granted a loan from the Bank (the “Loan”) in the amount of $ i 304,833, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under Division, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Loan, which was in the form of a note dated August 14, 2020, was to mature in August 2025 and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum and was payable in monthly installments commencing on, or before, October 31, 2021 if not forgiven and legally released. At December 31, 2020, in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt, and ASC 405-20, Liabilities – Extinguishment of Liabilities, the Company recorded the cash inflow from the Loan as a liability, and cash flows from financing, pending legal release from the obligation by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“S.B.A.”). The Company used the Loan proceeds for eligible expenses during the covered period and the Loan was forgiven and legally released by the S.B.A. in full in the second quarter of 2021. The Company recorded the forgiveness of the Loan as a gain on extinguishment of debt – PPP Loan.

 

The Company is party to a Concession Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2008, with the City of New York for the operation of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (the “Concession Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Concession Agreement, the Company must pay the greater of  i 18% of the first $ i 5,000,000 in any program year based on cash collected (“Gross Receipts”) and  i 25% of Gross Receipts in excess of $5,000,000, or minimum annual guaranteed payments.

 

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 5, 2016, the Company and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (the “NYCEDC”) announced new measures to reduce helicopter noise and impacts across New York City (the “Air Tour Agreement”). Under the Air Tour Agreement, the Company has not been allowed to permit its tenant operators to conduct tourist flights from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport on Sundays since April 1, 2016. The Company was also required to ensure that its tenant operators reduce the total allowable number of tourist flights from 2015 levels by  i 20 percent beginning June 1, 2016, by  i 40 percent beginning October 1, 2016 and by  i 50 percent beginning January 1, 2017. The Air Tour Agreement also provided for the minimum annual guarantee payments the Company is required to pay to the City of New York under the Concession Agreement be reduced by  i 50%, effective January 1, 2017. Additionally, since June 1, 2016, the Company has been required to provide monthly written reports to the NYCEDC and the New York City Council detailing the number of tourist flights conducted out of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport compared to 2015 levels, as well as information on any tour flight that flies over land and/or strays from agreed upon routes. The Air Tour Agreement also extended the Concession Agreement for  i 30 months, resulting in a new expiration date of April 30, 2021 and gave the City of New York two one-year options to extend the term of the Concession Agreement. The term of the Concession Agreement was subsequently extended by the City through April 30, 2023 by the City’s exercise of both two one-year option renewals.

 

The reductions under the Air Tour Agreement have negatively impacted the Company’s business and financial results as well as those of its management company at the Heliport, Empire Aviation which, as previously disclosed, is owned by two children and a grandchild of a former officer and director of the CompanyThe Company incurred management fees with Empire Aviation of approximately $ i 836,000 and $ i 0 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Empire Aviation has notified the Company they believe additional fees are due under their management agreement with the New York Heliport for both 2021 and 2020. If the Company is unable to come to an agreement with Empire Aviation regarding amounts due under the agreement, the Company could incur additional expense as disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Note 15. Contingent Liabilities).

 

During the program year that began on May 1, 2020, the City of New York agreed, in recognition of the pandemic’s impact, that the Company could defer payment of minimum guaranteed payments. In April 2021, the City of New York waived the deferred fees through December 31, 2020. In May 2021, the City of New York waived the deferred fees through April 30, 2021 which coincided with the original expiration of the Concession Agreement as amended by the Air Tour Agreement. The Company worked with the City of New York to address fees to be paid by the Company for the period May 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. In March 2022, the City of New York agreed to accept  i 18% of monthly Gross Receipts in excess of $ i 100,000 as Concession fees for this period. In April 2022, the Company agreed to resume paying the City of New York the total monthly amounts due under the Concession Agreement retro-active to January 2022 and to continue paying fees due under the Concession Agreement through the remainder of the Air Tour Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred approximately $ i 601,000 and $ i 28,000 in concession fees, respectively, which are recorded in the cost of revenue.

 

On April 20, 2018, the Company’s Kansas subsidiary entered into a purchase lease with Commerce Bank for a refueling truck (the “Truck Lease”). The Truck Lease commenced on May 1, 2018 and continues for  i 60 months with a monthly payment of $ i 2,568 and an interest rate of  i 5.5%. At the end of the Truck Lease, the Company’s subsidiary may purchase the vehicle for $ i 1.00.

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company’s Kansas subsidiary executed a promissory note for $ i 76,000 with Avfuel Corporation (“Avfuel”) for the purchase of a Jet-A refueling truck (the “Truck Note”). The Truck Note requires  i six annual payments of $ i 13,432.56 commencing April 30, 2022 with the entire balance of unpaid principal and interest due on, or before, April 30, 2028. Interest accrues at prime plus  i 3% on the outstanding principal amount. The Company is required to make prepayments against the Truck Note at the rate of $ i 0.018 per gallon of fuel purchased under a fuel supply agreement between the Company and Avfuel.

NOTE 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, FirstFlight Heliports, LLC, and its fixed base operation and aircraft maintenance and repair services at Garden City (Kansas) Regional Airport. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and restricted cash

The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions which often exceeds federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. Amounts included in restricted cash are a deposit required by the Concession Agreement with NYEDC and aggregated $ i 425,000 at June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

 i 

Net Income Per Common Share

Net income was $ i 690,890 and $ i 311,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net income was $ i 722,042 and $ i 577,164 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Basic net income per share applicable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities, consisting of options and warrants, are excluded from the calculation of the diluted income per share when their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period. 

 

The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic net income per share:

 i 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards are based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred stock-based compensation of $ i 22,998 and $ i 17,196, respectively. Such amounts have been recorded as part of the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, the unamortized fair value of the options totaled $ i 22,997 and the weighted average remaining amortization period of the options approximated five years.

 

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.

OVERVIEW

 

Saker Aviation Services, Inc. is a Nevada corporation. Our common stock, $0.03 par value per share (the “common stock”), is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “SKAS”. Through our subsidiaries, we operate in the aviation services segment of the general aviation industry, in which we serve as the operator of a heliport, a fixed base operation (“FBO”), and as a provider of aircraft maintenance and repair services (“MRO”). FBOs provide ground-based services, such as fueling and aircraft storage for general aviation, commercial and military aircraft, and other miscellaneous services.

 

We were formed on January 17, 2003 as a proprietorship and were incorporated in Arizona on January 2, 2004. We became a public company as a result of a reverse merger transaction on August 20, 2004 with Shadows Bend Development, Inc., an inactive public Nevada corporation, and subsequently changed our name to FBO Air, Inc. On December 12, 2006, we changed our name to FirstFlight, Inc. On September 2, 2009, we changed our name to Saker Aviation Services, Inc.

 

Our business activities are carried out as the operator of the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport and as an FBO and MRO at the Garden City (Kansas) Regional Airport.

 

The Garden City facility became part of our company as a result of our acquisition of the FBO assets of Central Plains Aviation, Inc. in March 2005 and of Aircraft Services, Inc. in October 2016.

 

Our business activities at the Downtown Manhattan (New York) Heliport facility (the “Heliport”) commenced in November 2008 when we were awarded the Concession Agreement by the City of New York to operate the Heliport, which we assigned to our subsidiary, FirstFlight Heliports, LLC d/b/a Saker Aviation Services (“FFH”).

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global and United States economies. Federal, state, and local governments implemented certain travel restrictions, “stay-at-home” orders, and social distancing initiatives which negatively impacted our operations and those of our customers. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 17, 2020 all sightseeing tour operations at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport ceased. On July 20, 2020, New York City started Phase 4 of the city’s reopening. Sightseeing tour operators at the heliport restarted operations under this phase.

 

For the period July 20, 2020 through March 31, 2022, sightseeing tour operators experienced much lower demand for tours as compared to pre-pandemic levels of activity. Beginning in April 2022, sightseeing tour operators have seen an increase in activity and a much higher demand for tours. There can be no assurance that this increased activity will continue as demand for sightseeing tours will depend on future developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and spread and related travel advisories and restrictions and the impact on overall demand for air travel. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a less substantial impact on our operations at our Kansas FBO and MRO.

Our long-term strategy is to increase our sales through growth within our aviation services operations. To do so, we may expand our geographic reach and product offering through strategic acquisitions and improved market penetration within the markets we serve. We expect that any future acquisitions or product offerings would be to complement and/or augment our current aviation services operations.

 

REVENUE AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

Comparison of Continuing Operations from the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

 

REVENUE

 

Total revenue from operations increased by 192.8 percent to $3,452,759 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared with corresponding prior-year period revenue of $1,179,064.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from operations associated with the sale of jet fuel, aviation gasoline and related items increased by 142.6 percent to approximately $1,617,000 as compared to approximately $667,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to the higher volume of gallons and price of aviation gasoline sold at both our New York and Kansas locations compared to the second quarter of 2021.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from operations associated with services and supply items increased by 370.3 percent to approximately $1,782,000 as compared to approximately $379,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to increased demand for services at our New York location compared to the second quarter of 2021.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 all other revenue from operations decreased by 60.1 percent to approximately $53,000 as compared to approximately $133,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in non-aeronautical revenue generated at our New York location compared to the same period last year.

 

Total revenue increased by 165.2 percent to $5,273,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared with corresponding prior-year period revenue of $1,988,160.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from operations associated with the sale of jet fuel, aviation gasoline and related items increased by 123.6 percent to approximately $2,623,000 as compared to approximately $1,173,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to the higher volume of gallons and price of aviation gasoline sold at both our New York and Kansas locations compared to the same period in 2021.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from operations associated with services and supply items increased by 305.1 percent to approximately $2,570,000 as compared to approximately $634,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to the increased demand for services at our New York location compared to the second quarter of 2021.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, all other revenue from operations decreased by 55.8 percent to approximately $80,000 as compared to approximately $181,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in non-aeronautical revenue generated by our Heliport compared to the same period last year.

 

GROSS PROFIT

 

Total gross profit from operations increased by 140.0 percent to $1,639,841 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $683,389 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit was positively impacted by an increase in activity and much higher demand for tours at our New York location. Gross margin decreased to 47.5 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 58.0 percent in the same period in the prior year. This decrease in gross margin is largely attributable to Cares Act tax credits recorded by the Company in the second quarter of 2021 period which were not available in 2022.

 

10

 

Total gross profit from operations increased by 138.0 percent to $2,207,360 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $927,350 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin decreased to 41.9 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 46.6 percent in the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit and decrease in gross margin were a result of the items discussed above.

 

OPERATING EXPENSE

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Total selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were approximately $1,166,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of approximately $887,000 or 319.0 percent, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in SG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to increased fees due under the Company’s Concession Agreement with the City of New York and management agreement with Empire Aviation. SG&A in the six months ended June 30, 2022 were approximately $1,731,000, representing an increase of approximately $1,070,000 or 161.9 percent, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in SG&A operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily attributable to increases in amounts due under agreement as described above for the three month period.

 

Corporate SG&A was approximately $172,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of approximately $46,000 as compared with the corresponding prior year period. Corporate SG&A was approximately $299,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of approximately $56,000 as compared with the corresponding prior year period. The increase in both the three and six month periods on a year-over-year basis, were largely attributable to non-recurring miscellaneous expenses in the second quarter of 2022.

 

OPERATING INCOME

 

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $176,666 as compared to operating income of $23,048 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating income was largely attributable to more activity and much higher demand for tours at our New York location.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization were approximately $66,000 and $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization was largely attributable to depreciation related to our right of use assets.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was approximately $12,000 in both periods.

 

Bad Debt Recovery

 

Bad Debt Recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $125,000 as compared to $0 in the same period in 2021. The increase in bad debt recovery is attributable to collection of amounts previously deemed uncollectable in 2020.

 

Life Insurance Proceeds

 

As part of an employment agreement with the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director, Ronald J. Ricciardi, the Company was required to provide Executive Life Insurance insuring the life of Mr. Ricciardi during the term of the agreement. The term policy was to be in the amount of $1 million, with one-half (1/2) of the proceeds thereof directed to such beneficiary or beneficiaries of Mr. Ricciardi may from time to time appoint, and one-half (1/2) of the proceeds directed to the Company. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, Mr Ricciardi passed away on June 23, 2022. The Company has recorded the life insurance receivable of $500,000 as Other Income during the period ending June 30, 2022.

 

11

 

Income Tax

 

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $99,000 and $4,426, respectively. The increase in income tax is attributable to higher net income in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Net income Per Share

 

Net income was $690,890 and $311,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Basic net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.71 and $0.30, respectively. Diluted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.70 and $0.30, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and restricted cash of $3,514,584 and a working capital surplus of $4,194,988. We generated revenue of $5,273,498 and had net income of $690,890 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows included net cash provided by operating activities of $1,598,472, net cash used in investing activities of $501,644, and net cash used in financing activities of $29,150.

 

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 21, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 15, 2018 the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Key Bank National Association (the “Bank”). The Loan Agreement contains three components: (i) a $2,500,000 acquisition line of credit (the “Key Bank Acquisition Note”); (ii) a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Key Bank Revolver Note”); and (iii) a $338,481 term loan (the “Key Bank Term Note”). On October 11, 2018, and as subsequently amended, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with the Bank (as so amended, the “Change of Terms Agreement”) which modified the original terms of the Key Bank Acquisition Note. The Bank notified the Company of its decision to discontinue the Key Bank Acquisition Note, effective June 30, 2021. There were no amounts due under the Changes of Terms Agreement at June 30, 2022 or 2021.

 

The Key Bank Revolver Note, at the discretion of the Bank, provides for the Company to borrow up to $1,000,000 for working capital and general corporate purposes. This revolving line of credit is a demand note with no stated maturity date. Borrowings under the Key Bank Revolver Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one-day LIBOR (adjusted daily) plus 2.75%. The Bank notified the Company in 2022 that LIBOR had been replaced with Daily Simple SOFR. The Company is required to make monthly payments of interest on any outstanding principal under the Key Bank Revolver Note and is required to pay the entire balance, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, upon demand by the Bank. Any proceeds from the Key Bank Revolver Note would be secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. There were no amounts due under the Key Bank Revolver Note or Key Bank Term Note at June 30, 2022 or 2021.

 

On August 14, 2020, the Company was granted a loan from the Bank (the “Loan”) in the amount of $304,833, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under Division, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Loan, which was in the form of a note dated August 14, 2020, was to mature in August 2025 and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum and was payable in monthly installments commencing on, or before, October 31, 2021 if not forgiven and legally released. At December 31, 2020, in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt, and ASC 405-20, Liabilities – Extinguishment of Liabilities, the Company recorded the cash inflow from the Loan as a liability, and cash flows from financing, pending legal release from the obligation by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“S.B.A.”). The Company used the Loan proceeds for eligible expenses during the covered period and the Loan was forgiven and legally released by the S.B.A. in full in the second quarter of 2021. The Company recorded the forgiveness of the Loan as a gain on extinguishment of debt – PPP Loan.

 

The Company is party to a Concession Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2008, with the City of New York for the operation of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (the “Concession Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Concession Agreement, the Company must pay the greater of 18% of the first $5,000,000 in any program year based on cash collected (“Gross Receipts”) and 25% of Gross Receipts in excess of $5,000,000, or minimum annual guaranteed payments.

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 5, 2016, the Company and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (the “NYCEDC”) announced new measures to reduce helicopter noise and impacts across New York City (the “Air Tour Agreement”). Under the Air Tour Agreement, the Company has not been allowed to permit its tenant operators to conduct tourist flights from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport on Sundays since April 1, 2016. The Company was also required to ensure that its tenant operators reduce the total allowable number of tourist flights from 2015 levels by 20 percent beginning June 1, 2016, by 40 percent beginning October 1, 2016 and by 50 percent beginning January 1, 2017. The Air Tour Agreement also provided for the minimum annual guarantee payments the Company is required to pay to the City of New York under the Concession Agreement be reduced by 50%, effective January 1, 2017. Additionally, since June 1, 2016, the Company has been required to provide monthly written reports to the NYCEDC and the New York City Council detailing the number of tourist flights conducted out of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport compared to 2015 levels, as well as information on any tour flight that flies over land and/or strays from agreed upon routes. The Air Tour Agreement also extended the Concession Agreement for 30 months, resulting in a new expiration date of April 30, 2021 and gave the City of New York two one-year options to extend the term of the Concession Agreement. The term of the Concession Agreement was subsequently extended by the City through April 30, 2023 by the City’s exercise of both their two one-year option renewals.

 

The reductions under the Air Tour Agreement have negatively impacted the Company’s business and financial results as well as those of its management company at the Heliport, Empire Aviation which, as previously disclosed, is owned by two children and a grandchild of a former officer and director of the CompanyThe Company incurred management fees with Empire Aviation of approximately $836,000 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Empire Aviation has notified the Company they believe additional fees are due under their management agreement with the New York Heliport for both 2021 and 2020. If the Company is unable to come to an agreement with Empire Aviation regarding amounts due under the agreement, the Company could incur additional expense as disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Note 15. Contingent Liabilities). The Company incurred management fees with Empire Aviation of approximately $836,000 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

During the program year that began on May 1, 2020, the City of New York agreed, in recognition of the pandemic’s impact, that the Company could defer payment of minimum guaranteed payments. In April 2021, the City of New York waived the deferred fees through December 31, 2020. In May 2021, the City of New York waived the deferred fees through April 30, 2021 which coincided with the original expiration of the Concession Agreement as amended by the Air Tour Agreement. The Company worked with the City of New York to address fees to be paid by the Company for the period May 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. In March 2022, the City of New York agreed to accept 18% of monthly Gross Receipts in excess of $100,000 as Concession fees for this period. In April 2022, the Company agreed to resume paying the City of New York the total monthly amounts due under the Concession Agreement retro-active to January 2022 and to continue paying fees due under the Concession Agreement through the remainder of the Air Tour Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred approximately $601,000 and $28,000 in concession fees, respectively, which are recorded in the cost of revenue.

 

On April 20, 2018, the Company’s Kansas subsidiary entered into a purchase lease with Commerce Bank for a refueling truck (the “Truck Lease”). The Truck Lease commenced on May 1, 2018 and continues for 60 months with a monthly payment of $2,568 and an interest rate of 5.5%. At the end of the Truck Lease, the Company’s subsidiary may purchase the vehicle for $1.00.

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company’s Kansas subsidiary executed a promissory note for $76,000 with Avfuel Corporation (“Avfuel”) for the purchase of a Jet-A refueling truck (the “Truck Note”). The Truck Note requires six annual payments of $13,432.56 commencing April 30, 2022 with the entire balance of unpaid principal and interest due on, or before, April 30, 2028. Interest accrues at prime plus 3% on the outstanding principal amount. The Company is required to make prepayments against the Truck Note at the rate of $0.018 per gallon of fuel purchased under a fuel supply agreement between the Company and Avfuel.
