The increase in revenues for the nine month period was primarily due to an aviation services contract with Delta Airlines that commenced in August 2003.

Operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 includes approximately $475,000 of costs incurred by the Company in connection with the change in the Company's management and Board of Directors in August 2004, including the resignation of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, and related legal expenses.

We are continuing with our plans to build the foundation for future growth and financial performance.
