(5) Business Segments

We market fuel and related services, and have two reportable operating segments: marine and aviation fuel services. In our marine fuel services business, we market marine fuel and related management services to a broad base of international shipping companies and to governmental and multilateral entities. Services include credit terms, 24-hour around-the-world service, fuel management services, and competitively priced fuel. In our aviation fuel services business, we extend credit and provide around-the-world single-supplier convenience, 24-hour service, fuel management services, and competitively priced aviation fuel and other aviation related services to passenger, cargo and charter airlines, as well as to governmental and multilateral entities. We also offer flight plans and weather reports to our corporate customers.

Performance measurement and resource allocation for the reportable operating segments are based on many factors. One of the primary financial measures used is income from operations. We employ shared-service concepts to realize economies of scale and efficient use of resources. The costs of shared services and other corporate center operations managed on a common basis are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (See Note 1).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Financial Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, as well as our Form 10-K Report for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Reportable Segments

We have two reportable operating businesses: marine and aviation fuel services. In our marine fuel services business, we market marine fuel and related management services to a broad base of international shipping companies and to governmental and multilateral entities. Services include credit terms, 24-hour around-the-world service, fuel management services, and competitively priced fuel. In our aviation fuel services business, we extend credit and provide around-the-world single-supplier convenience, 24-hour service, fuel management services, and competitively priced aviation fuel and other aviation related services to passenger, cargo and charter airlines, as well as to governmental and multilateral entities. We also offer flight plans and weather reports to our corporate customers.

Performance measurement and resource allocation for the reportable operating segments are based on many factors. Two of our primary financial measures used are revenue and income from operations. Our marine fuel business accounted for approximately 60% and 73% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our aviation fuel business accounted for the remaining 40% and 27% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Excluding corporate overhead, our marine fuel services and our aviation fuel services contributed 48% and 52%, respectively, of operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to 44% and 56% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes, goodwill and identifiable intangible asset, and certain accrued 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 may differ 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 results of operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in Item 1 of our 10-K Report for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recorded in the period when the sale is made or as the services are performed. We contract with unrelated third parties to provide the fuel and/or deliver most services. This causes delays in receiving the necessary information for invoicing to our customers. Accordingly, revenue may be recognized in a period subsequent to when the actual delivery of fuel or service was performed. This policy does not result in reported results that are materially different than if the revenue were recognized in the period of actual delivery or performance.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts

Credit extension, monitoring and collection are performed by each of our business segments. Each segment has a credit committee. The credit committees are responsible for approving credit limits above certain amounts, setting and maintaining credit standards, and ensuring the overall quality of the credit portfolio. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by our review of our customer’s credit information. We extend credit on an unsecured basis to many of our customers.

We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Such allowances can be either specific to a particular customer or general to all customers in each of our two business segments. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, we had accounts and notes receivable of $182.9 million and $177.4 million, respectively, net of allowance for bad debts of $11.8 million and $11.1 million, respectively. In each period, the allowance for bad debts included a specific allowance of $3.0 million for one aviation customer representing the entire accounts receivable balance for that customer. Our remaining allowance of $8.8 million and $8.1 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, are general for all other customers.

We believe the level of our allowance for bad debts is reasonable based on our experience and our analysis of the net realizable value of our trade receivables at March 31, 2003. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have experienced in the past since adverse changes in the marine and aviation industries, or changes in the liquidity or financial position of our customers, could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results. If credit losses exceed established allowances, our results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected. For additional information on the credit risks inherent in our business, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1 of our 10-K Report for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Goodwill, Identifiable Intangible Asset and Investment Goodwill

Goodwill and investment goodwill represent our cost or investment in excess of net assets, including identifiable intangible asset, of the acquired companies. Investment goodwill of $2.9 million was included in Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2003 and 2002. The identifiable intangible asset for customer relations existing at the date of acquisition was recorded and is being amortized over its useful life of five years. We accounted for goodwill, identifiable intangible asset and investment goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Among other provisions, SFAS No. 142 states that goodwill shall not be amortized prospectively. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, no goodwill amortization was recorded. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, we amortized $92 thousand of our identifiable intangible asset.

12

Table of Contents

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under certain circumstances) for impairment. The initial step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based on results of these comparisons, goodwill in each of our reporting units is not considered impaired. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recognized.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes was determined by taxable jurisdiction. We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, which includes all of our U.S. companies. Our non-U.S. companies file income tax returns in their respective countries of incorporation, as required. We do not provide for U.S. federal and state income taxes, and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. companies. The distribution of these earnings would result in additional U.S. federal and state income taxes to the extent they are not offset by foreign tax credits and non-U.S. withholding taxes. It is our intention to reinvest undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. companies indefinitely and thereby postpone their remittance. Accordingly, no provision has been made for taxes that could result from the remittance of such earnings.

We provide for deferred income taxes on temporary differences arising from assets and liabilities whose bases are different for financial reporting and U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that an income tax benefit will not be realized. No valuation allowance was recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Results of Operations

Profit from our marine fuel services business is determined primarily by the volume and commission rate of brokering business generated and by the volume and gross profit achieved on sales, as well as the overall level of operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provision for potential bad debts. Profit from our aviation fuel services business is directly related to the volume and the gross profit achieved on sales, as well as the overall level of operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provision for potential bad debts.

Comparing the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, our profitability was favorably impacted in 2003 by increases in the gross profit per metric ton traded and brokered in marine and by an increase of 122 million gallons in aviation sales volume. Earnings were adversely affected by a decrease in gross profit per gallon sold in aviation, a decrease in traded and brokered volume in marine, and increases in salaries, provision for bad debts and other operating expenses in both segments.

The increase in aviation sales volume is due to new commercial and government businesses, as well as increases in wholesale and fuel management businesses. The increased wholesale and fuel management business are higher credit quality, lower margin businesses, which contributed to the decrease in the gross profit per gallon sold.

We may experience decreases in future sales volume and margins as a result of continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, and military actions in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, as well as possible future terrorist activity and military conflicts. In addition, since the sharp decline in world oil prices soon after September 11th, world oil prices have been very volatile. We expect continued volatility in world oil prices as a result of the instability and conflicts in the Middle East. The volatility in world oil prices can adversely affect our customers’ business, and consequently our results of operations. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1 of our 10-K Report for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $658.0 million, an increase of $306.7 million, or 87.3%, as compared to revenue of $351.3 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Our revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

Our marine fuel services segment contributed $397.4 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $140.5 million, or 54.7%, over the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was due to a 68.3% increase in the average price per metric ton sold, which more than offset a 7.5% decrease in the volume of metric tons sold and an 18.3% decrease in the volume of metric tons brokered. Our aviation fuel services segment contributed $260.6 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $166.2 million as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in the volume sold of 122 million gallons and a 28.0% increase in the average price per gallon sold. The increase in aviation sales volume was due to new commercial and government businesses and increases in wholesale and fuel management businesses.

Our gross profit of $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $6.2 million, or 29.2%, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Our gross margin decreased to 4.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Our marine fuel services segment achieved a 3.6% gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2003, which was relatively consistent with the gross margin for the same period of the prior year. Our aviation fuel services business achieved a 5% gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to 11.6% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in aviation gross margin reflects increases in our wholesale and fuel management businesses, which are higher quality, lower margin businesses.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $20.4 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 38.1%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increases in operating expenses were due to increased salaries and wages, bad debts and other operating expenses. The increase in salaries and wages were primarily due to new hires relating to business expansion, the front-end cost of staff to affect productivity and efficiency gains and increased incentive compensation associated with our higher gross profit levels. The increase in the provision for bad debts resulted primarily from the write-off of receivables from one international airline that filed for bankruptcy and an addition to our general allowance for bad debts in the marine segment. The increases in other operating expenses were due to overall higher insurance costs resulting from the terrorist attacks of September 11^th, and increases in travel, audit fees, telecommunications, worldwide office rent and depreciation expense. These increases were partially offset with decreases in legal and other professional fees. In general, increases to other operating expenses primarily relate to organizational efficiency initiatives and business growth and expansion.

Table of Contents

Our income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $6.9 million, as compared to $6.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Income from operations during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

The marine fuel services segment earned $4.6 million in income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $928 thousand, or 25.2%, as compared to $3.7 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from a 39% increase in gross profit partially offset by higher operating expenses. The aviation fuel services segment’s income from operations was $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $263 thousand, or 5.5%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This improvement was due to a higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments totaled $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $2.1 million during the same period of the prior year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, we reported $253 thousand in other expense, net, as compared to other income, net, of $104 thousand for the same period of the prior year. This variance is primarily related to net foreign currency exchange losses in Mexico, partially offset by an increase in our equity earnings in our aviation joint venture. The Mexican foreign currency losses primarily stem from mismatches between our US dollar receivables and Mexican peso payables.

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, our effective tax rate was 21.0%, for an income tax provision of $1.4 million, as compared to 31.0% and an income tax provision of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily a result of increases in operating income in lower tax jurisdictions as well as lower statutory tax rates on certain foreign income.

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $5.3 million and $0.48, respectively, as compared to $4.5 million and $0.42 during the same period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In our marine and aviation fuel businesses, the primary use of working capital is to finance receivables. We maintain aviation fuel inventories at certain locations in the United States, mostly for competitive reasons. Our marine and aviation fuel businesses historically have not required significant capital investment in fixed assets as we subcontract fueling services and maintain inventories at third party storage facilities. We have funded our operations primarily with cash flow generated from operations. As of March 31, 2003, we had $49.8 million of cash and cash equivalents as compared to $57.8 million at December 31, 2002.

We also have a revolving credit facility that permits borrowings of up to $40.0 million with a sublimit of $30.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. Our available borrowings under the credit facility are reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit. The credit facility imposes certain operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on the payment of dividends in excess of specified amounts. Our failure to comply with the obligations under the credit facility, including meeting certain financial ratios, could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility, impair our ability to receive advances and issue letters of credit, and may

15

Table of Contents

have a material adverse effect on us. As of March 31, 2003, we have borrowed $16.0 million and issued letters of credit of $16.4 million under the credit facility.

Net cash used in continuing operating activities totaled $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to net cash provided from operating activities of $10.8 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The variance in cash flows from continuing operating activities of $31.6 million was primarily a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities, in particular, an increase in accounts receivable due to higher fuel costs; an increase in inventories primarily due to higher fuel prices, changes in the supply process and two large fuel purchases in our aviation wholesale business at March 31, 2003 that were subsequently sold in April 2003; and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily due to prepayment of payables to take advantage of supplier discounts and a lower accrual amount recorded for the fair market value of our outstanding derivatives.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, net cash used in investing activities was $994 thousand, a decrease of $4.9 million as compared to the same period of the prior year. This decrease reflects the acquisition of the Marine Energy group of companies in January 2002, partially offset with an increase in capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The variance in cash flows from financing activities of $16.7 million reflects the $16.0 million net borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2003. The remaining variance was primarily due to repayment of debt.

Working capital at March 31, 2003 was $102.1 million, representing an increase of $19.9 million from working capital at December 31, 2002. Our accounts and notes receivable, at March 31, 2003, excluding the allowance for bad debts, amounted to $194.7 million, an increase of $6.2 million, as compared to the balance at December 31, 2002. This increase is mostly related to higher fuel prices for both our marine and aviation segments. At March 31, 2003, the allowance for bad debts of $11.8 million increased by $686 thousand from the balance at December 31, 2002. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, we charged $2.7 million to the provision for bad debts, as compared to $684 thousand for the same period of the prior year. We have charge-offs in excess of recoveries of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $673 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in the charge-offs in excess of recoveries primarily related to one international airline that filed for bankruptcy.

As of March 31, 2003, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $23.4 million increased $1.1 million from December 31, 2002. This increase was due to increases in prepaid fuel, in amounts due from our aviation joint venture primarily related to equity earnings and in value added tax receivables, partially offset by the amortization of prepaid insurance and a lower receivable recorded for the fair market value of our outstanding derivatives. Net goodwill, identifiable intangible asset, and investment goodwill decreased $92 thousand, to $38.2 million, due to the amortization of the identifiable intangible asset.

Our other current liabilities increased $2.1 million primarily due to the receipt of additional customer deposits. Long-term debt and short-term debt, in the aggregate, increased by $14.3 million due to borrowings of $16.0 million from our credit facilities, partially offset primarily by payment of our debt.

Stockholders’ equity amounted to $132.5 million at March 31, 2003, as compared to $127.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to $5.3 million in earnings and $166 thousand received from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the declaration of dividends of $803 thousand and the amortization of unearned deferred compensation of $157 thousand.

Table of Contents

We believe that available funds from existing cash and cash equivalents, our credit facility, and cash flows generated by operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. Our opinions concerning liquidity and our ability to obtain financing are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity would be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the availability of trade credit, or other financing, include our performance (as measured by various factors including cash provided from operating activities), the state of worldwide credit markets, and our levels of outstanding debt. In addition, we may decide to raise additional funds to respond to competitive pressures or to acquire complementary businesses. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that financing will be available when needed or desired on terms favorable to us.

Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for changes in our letters of credit and purchase and sale commitments and derivatives, as described below, our contractual obligations and commercial commitments did not change materially from December 31, 2002 to March 31, 2003. For a discussion of these matters, refer to “Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Item 7 of our 10-K Report for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit expire within one year from their issuance, and expired letters of credit are renewed as needed. As of March 31, 2003, we had letters of credit outstanding of $16.4 million, as compared to $14.4 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2002. The letters of credit were issued under our revolving credit facility, and count against the $40.0 million limit on total borrowings under this facility. For additional information on our revolving credit facility and letters of credit, see the discussion thereof in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” above.

Purchase and Sale Commitments and Derivatives

See “Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in this Form 10-Q, for a discussion of our purchase and sale commitments and derivatives.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

To take advantage of favorable market conditions or for competitive reasons, we enter into short-term cancelable fuel purchase commitments for the physical delivery of product. We simultaneously may hedge the physical delivery of fuel through a commodity based derivative instrument, to minimize the effects of commodity price fluctuations.

As part of our price risk management services, we offer to our marine and aviation customers fixed fuel prices on future sales with, or without, physical delivery of fuel. Typically, we simultaneously enter into a commodity based derivative instrument with a counterparty to hedge our variable fuel price on related future purchases with, or without, physical delivery of fuel. The counterparties are major oil companies and derivative trading firms. Accordingly, we do not anticipate non-performance by such counterparties. Pursuant to these transactions, we are not affected by market price fluctuations since the contracts have the same terms and conditions except for the fee or spread earned by us. Performance risk by the customer under these contracts is considered a credit risk. This risk is minimized by entering into these contracts and transactions only with customers meeting stricter credit criteria.

As of March 31, 2003, we had 199 outstanding swaps contracts totaling approximately 219 thousand metric tons of marine fuel, expiring through December 2005, and 39 outstanding swaps contracts totaling 22.9 million gallons of aviation fuel, expiring through July 2003. As of March 31, 2003, we have recorded our derivatives, which consisted of swap contracts to hedge fixed fuel prices on future sales to our customers with, or without, physical delivery of fuel at their fair market value of $2.9 million. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, such amount was included as Prepaid expenses and other current assets with an offsetting amount in Accrued expenses.

We conduct the vast majority of our business transactions in U.S. dollars. However, in certain markets, primarily in Mexico, payments to our aviation fuel supplier are denominated in local currency. In addition, in Mexico, payments from some of our customers are also denominated in local currency. This subjects us to foreign currency exchange risk, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize the risks from currency exchange rate fluctuations through our regular operating and financing activities.

Our policy is to not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

We have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures during the last 90 days. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) believe that such controls and procedures are effective to achieve the above objectives.

Changes in Internal Controls

Our CEO, COO and CFO have determined, based upon our most recent evaluation, that there have been no significant changes in our internal controls that could significantly affect our internal controls and procedures subsequent to that evaluation.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO, COO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K.

On January 29, 2003, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the expected results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2002.

On February 20, 2003, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report that we amended our By-laws to add new indemnity provisions, which appear as Article 8 of the By-laws and also adopted a form of indemnification agreement which was entered into between the company and each of its directors, including employee directors. The purpose of the By-law amendment and the indemnification agreements is to provide the directors indemnification protection against certain liabilities, to the full extent permitted by law. The Board of Directors believes that these indemnity provisions are necessary in order to attract qualified and experienced persons to serve on our Board of Directors.

On February 26, 2003, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the results of operations for the three and nine-month period ended December 31, 2002.
