Notes To Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

September 30, 2012

1.

Basis of Presentation

The Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by us in accordance with the accounting policies described in our December 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial statements which appear in that report.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 intangible assets, income taxes, insurance obligations and contingencies and litigation. 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 resources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include some information and notes necessary to conform to annual reporting requirements.

The financial statements have been presented in a “development stage” format. Since inception, our primary activities have been raising of capital, obtaining financing and obtaining route authority and approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation. We have not commenced our principal revenue producing activities.

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure: We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

2.

Earnings/Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by us with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive. Due to the net losses reported, dilutive common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

3. Stockholders' Equity

           Stock Issued for Services

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we issued 283,551,815 shares of our common stock in exchange for services. The shares were valued at $ 3,651,000 or about $0.024 per share and reflected the share market value at the time of issuance. The shares are not registered and are subject to restrictions as to transferability

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we issued 284.6 million shares of our common stock in exchange for services. The shares were valued at $ 14.6 million or about $0.05 per share and reflected the share market value at the time of issuance. The shares are not registered and are subject to restrictions as to transferability.

           Stock Issued for Cash

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we issued 219,829,215 shares of our common stock in exchange for cash. The shares sold for cash were subscribed at $ 3,650,000 or about $0.0167 weighted average per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we issued 183.2 million shares of our common stock in exchange for cash. The shares sold for cash were subscribed at $ 6.5 million or about $0.035 weighted average per share.

ITEM 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that include words such as "believe," "expect," "should," intend," "may," "anticipate," "likely," "contingent," "could," "may," or other future-oriented statements, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our business plans, strategies and objectives, and, in particular, statements referring to our expectations regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, generate increased market awareness of, and demand for, our service, realize profitability and positive cash flow, and timely obtain required financing. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results. The forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and what we believe are reasonable assumptions given our knowledge of the markets; however, our actual performance, results and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which such fiscal year ends.

OVERVIEW

Baltia Air Lines, Inc. the “Company” or “Baltia” or “Baltia Air Lines”) is the only Part 121 (heavy jet operator) start-up airline in the United States today that has received Government fitness approval. Baltia is currently conducting the FAA Air Carrier Certification. Baltia Air Lines, Inc. is a New York State corporation, organized in the State of New York on August 24, 1989.

On December 19, 2008, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued its Order to Show Cause, finding that Baltia Air Lines is fit, willing and able to engage in international air transport of persons, property and mail. Baltia was awarded the non-stop route from JFK to St. Petersburg Russia. Baltia was also authorized for worldwide charter services. Baltia had filed its application with the DOT in October 2007.

On August 18, 2009, the Company purchase of Boeing 747 aircraft (N705BL). In 2010 the Company purchased a second Boeing 747 aircraft (N706BL). Baltia leased engines on a power-by-the-hour basis, which are installed on the aircraft. On January 11, 2012 Baltia sold Boeing 747 aircraft (N705BL).

In the third quarter of 2012, Baltia took steps to open an office in Ypsilanti, Michigan, where the company’s crew members plan to conduct their training with Kalitta Air.

Baltia currently carries $500,000,000 aircraft liability insurance, and has placed $1.2 billion airline liability insurance through JLT Aerospace meeting the regulatory requirement in preparation for the commencement of revenue operations.

Following the commencement of service on the JFK-St. Petersburg route, Baltia’s objective is to develop its route network to Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

Baltia intends to provide full service, i.e. passenger, cargo and mail, and will not be dependent upon one or a few major customers. Baltia has two registered trademarks "BALTIA" and "VOYAGER CLASS" and five trademarks are subject to registration.

There is currently no non-stop service from JFK to St. Petersburg. Connecting service is provided mainly by foreign carriers. Finnair, Lufthansa and SAS are the leading competitors in the US-Russia market. KLM, British Airways, Air France, Austrian Airlines, and Swissair also provide service. However, foreign carriers are required to have intermediate stops at transit airports in their respective countries (Helsinki, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Copenhagen, etc.) because they are “third nation” airlines and as such cannot fly directly between the US and Russia (only a US airline as well as a reciprocating Russian airline is eligible to fly nonstop). Delta and two Russian airlines, Aeroflot and Transaero, currently operate between JFK and Moscow. With the exception of the JFK-Moscow route, there exists no non-stop competitive air transportation service on the routes for which Baltia intends to apply.

Baltia’s objective is to establish itself as the leading non-stop carrier in the market niche over the North Atlantic with operations that are profitable and growing over time. In order to accomplish this objective, we intend to establish and maintain high quality service standards which we believe will be competitive with the European airlines currently providing connecting flights. Baltia does not expect to be in direct competition with deep discount airlines, including several East European airlines and the offspring of the former Soviet airline Aeroflot, which provide connecting flights.

Baltia intends to provide First, Business, and Voyager Class accommodations. Baltia’s passenger market strategy is tailored to particular preferences of the various segments of its customer base, with marketing attention particularly focused on American business travelers with interests in Russia who require high quality, non-stop service from the United States to Russia.

Baltia’s initial marketing strategy is based on existing agencies specializing in the market, selected travel and business publications, supplemented by direct mailings to corporate travel planners, and individual American businesses that are currently involved in Russia. Soon after the inauguration of flight service, Baltia plans to implement its frequent flyer program. As the marketing matures, Baltia plans to advertise to the general public throughout the US, and in Russia. Baltia also plans to sponsor selected industry and trade events in the US and in St. Petersburg.

Baltia intends to provide customer service and reservations centers in New York and in St. Petersburg, to list Baltia’s schedules and tariffs in the Official Airline Guide, and provide world-wide access to reservations on Baltia’s flights through a major Computer Reservations and Ticketing System (“CRS”).

The Company intends to activate its reservations service when the DOT issues its order authorizing Baltia to sell tickets.

 

Baltia has identified the following market segments in the U.S.-Russia market: (i) Business Travelers, (ii) General Tourism, (iii) Ethnic Travelers, (iv) Special Interest Groups, (v) Professional Exchanges, and (vi) Government and Diplomatic Travel.

Baltia believes that the direct non-stop service to be offered by it will be superior to the stop-over service currently offered by foreign airlines. A comparison between the two services with respect to passenger convenience and cargo transport efficiency is set forth below.

BALTIA - US flag, non-stop service: With non-stop service, a passenger can fly from JFK to St. Petersburg in about 8 hours in a Boeing B747 wide body airplane. Cargo arrives containerized, palletized, and secure.

Foreign, stop-over journeys: With stop-over service, it would take a passenger 10 to 18 hours to fly through Helsinki, Copenhagen, Moscow, or Frankfurt on a foreign carrier. In addition, passengers must change to narrow-body aircraft at a layover airport. Cargo is “broken up” and manually loaded onto narrow-body aircraft, or trucked from Helsinki.

Baltia plans to operate efficiently and provide consistent high quality service to passengers and cargo shippers alike in order to establish the Company as the preferred airline in the market. The Company also plans to use targeted marketing of its service to maintain and grow its market share.

Because of the increased reliability and comfort of a non-stop flight, Baltia expects to capture a portion of the existing traffic.

With the Boeing 747 true wide-body aircraft Baltia intends to provide cargo service from JFK to St. Petersburg, offering containers, pallets, and block space arrangements. Baltia expects to carry contract cargo for express shippers. Baltia also plans to market its own “Baltia Courier”, “Baltia Express”, and “Baltia Priority” express service for letters and packages. Baltia also expects revenues from diplomatic mail and cargo, under the Fly America Act.

Baltia has passenger service and ground service arrangements at JFK and at Pulkovo II Airport in St. Petersburg. As a US carrier flying into a foreign country, Baltia will be eligible to the same degree of priority that a foreign carrier receives when arriving in the US.

Baltia intends to start the JFK-St. Petersburg service with one round-trip flight per week, increase frequency to three round trips and then to five round trips per week.

 

Baltia plans to build operating modules and apply them in developing new markets. Once established, Baltia plans to duplicate its JFK-St. Petersburg standards on flights on other transatlantic routes.

 

Additional revenues from charter flying: In conjunction with its Part 121 air carrier certification (“Part 121”), (referring to a “Federal Aviation Regulations” number, is an industry acronym used to describe a US airline operating heavy jet aircraft) for scheduled service, Baltia intends to seek certification for worldwide charter service. Following certification, Baltia plans to utilize aircraft time available between scheduled service, to earn additional revenues from charters. We are also considering qualifying our aircraft for military contracts.

In order to start revenue generating flight operations, the Company has to complete FAA Air Carrier Certification. During the past two and half years the Company has been participating in air carrier certification.

The Company will carry airline liability insurance as required for a US airline by DOT regulation.

As of September 30, 2011, Baltia had a staff of thirty which includes professionals who have extensive major US airline experience in aircraft maintenance, airline operations, airline regulatory compliance, reservation, info technology, passenger service and administration.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually re-evaluated based upon available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas in which significant judgment and estimates are used include, but are not limited to valuation of long lives assets and deferred income taxes.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including buildings, equipment and intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Our primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.

We amortize the costs of other intangibles (excluding goodwill) over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment, at least annually, and written down to fair value as required.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans: Stock-based awards are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. Our primary type of share-based compensation consists of stock options. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing options. The inputs for the valuation analysis of the options include the market value of the Company's common stock, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock, the exercise price of the warrants and the risk free interest rate.

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires that companies measure and recognize compensation expense at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and would typically recognize no compensation expense for stock option grants if options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method, which results in no restatement of prior period amounts. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, compensation expense must be recognized for any unvested stock option awards outstanding as of the date of adoption on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. The Company calculates the fair value of options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s recognized (2005 on a pro forma basis) no compensation expense related to stock option grants.

SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported in the Statement of Cash Flows as a financing cash inflow rather than an operating cash inflow. In addition, SFAS 123(R) required a modification to the Company’s calculation of the dilutive effect of stock option awards on earnings per share. For companies that adopt SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method, disclosure of pro forma information for periods prior to adoption must continue to be made.

As of September 30, 2012, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the plan. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was $0.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. We do not believe that adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on our financial statements.

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 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB 108 is effective for the year ending December 31, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SAB 108 will have on our results of operations and financial

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. This Interpretation allows the tax effects from an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the Company's financial statements if the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We had no revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 because we do not fly any aircraft and cannot sell tickets.

Our general and administrative expenses decreased $3,363,611 to $2,535,848 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $5,899,459 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Primarily as a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $2,691,845 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to a net loss of $6,115,768 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our future ability to achieve profitability in any given future fiscal period remains highly contingent upon us beginning flight operations. The management believes that the company has the necessary funding to commence revenue flight operations, subject to completion of the FAA Air Carrier Certification. If commenced, there can be no assurance that such operations would be profitable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception, we have incurred substantial operating and net losses, as well as negative operating cash flows. As of September 30, 2012, our working capital was ($227,646) and our stockholders' equity was $708,174. Our working capital increased $35,982 from ($263,446) on September 30, 2011 and our stockholders' equity decreased $1,749,416 from $2,457,590 on September 30, 2011.

Our operating activities utilized $3,571,933 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $395,152 from the $3,967,085 in cash utilized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our financing activities, from issuance of common stock, provided $3,651,174 and $4,192,435 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

As a result of the foregoing, our unrestricted cash increased to $136,631 as of September 30, 2012, as compared to $44,366 as of September 30, 2011.

We had no significant planned capital expenditures, budgeted or otherwise, as of September 30, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

None

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, as of March 31, 2012, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also concluded that, as of March 31, 2012 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. While existing controls may be adequate at present, upon the commencement of flight revenue service we intend to implement controls appropriate for airline operations.
