Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
NOTE 1 -SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Organization and Nature of Operation
Fuelstream, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 1996 under the name of “Durwood, Inc.” From April 6, 1999 to April 9, 2010, the Company operated as a sports marketing firm under the name of “Sportsnuts, Inc.” On April 9, 2010, the Company changed its name to Fuelstream, Inc. and changed its business model to become a fuel transportation and logistics company.
On April 11, 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (“Joint Venture”) with Aviation Fuel International, Inc., a Florida corporation (“AFI”) and a purchaser and reseller of aviation fuel for commercial and private aircraft. The Joint Venture required the Company to contribute up to $200,000 in respect of supplying aviation fuel to various commercial aircraft via tanker trucks which were intended to be acquired by the Joint Venture. The Company ultimately contributed $183,500 in connection with the Joint Venture. On January 18, 2012, the Joint Venture was terminated upon completion of the acquisition of AFI, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (refer to note 3).
On May 10, 2012, the Company along with two partners formed AFI South Africa LLC (“AFI SA”), immediately the Company purchased shares of the other partners to become 100% owner of AFI SA (refer to note 3). AFI SA was effective as Limited Liability Company under the Act by the filing organization with the office of the Secretary of State of Florida on May 11, 2012. The Company has been organized for the purpose of partnering with Global Aviation for brokering the sale of Fuel for aircraft in South Africa.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.

June 30, 2014
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
ASC605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated
Cash
The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of timing differences such as deferred officers’ compensation and stock based compensation accounting.
Net Loss per share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock based compensation
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
Stock based compensation recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $68,434 and $567,294, respectively.
Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
-Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities inactive markets.
FUELSTREAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
- Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2014, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of

redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company has adopted all applicable recently-issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including any not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $55,985,447 from inception of the Company through December 31, 2013. It should be noted that prior to the acquisition of AFI as discussed in Note 3, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,105,264 as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2014 was $57,806,009 and the total stockholders’ deficit at June 30, 2014 was $6,165,439 and had working capital deficit (current liabilities minus current assets) of $6,165,439, continued losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors combined, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address and alleviate these concerns are as follows:
The Company’s management continues to develop a strategy of exploring all options available to it so that it can develop successful operations and have sufficient funds, therefore, as to be able to operate over the next twelve months. The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues by brokering the sale of aircraft fuel. No assurance can be given that funds will be available, or, if available, that it will be on terms deemed satisfactory to management.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION
On January 18, 2012 the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Aviation Fuel International, Inc., a Florida corporation (“AFI”). AFI is a purchaser and reseller of aviation fuel for commercial and private aircraft. The consideration for the acquisition of AFI consisted of 7,400,000 shares of restricted common stock, loan receivable adjusted for $183,500 and a note payable in the amount of $1,000,000. As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $6,000,410 on June 25, 2013. The Company disaffirmed the note payable of $1,000,000. However, until the Company receives a judicially approved release, the note payable will remain on the financial statements and is included in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. Prior to the acquisition, AFI had accumulated notes payable of $1,356,300 and accounts payable of $536,610. These liabilities have been recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These liabilities are due from AFI and were not incurred or guaranteed by the parent company, Fuelstream, Inc.
NOTE 4 - LOSS CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved with various legal proceedings as described in Part II Item I of this Form 10-Q. The Company has evaluated these contingencies per the requirements of ASC 450-20 (previously SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”) and determined that the likelihood of loss from these proceedings are remote.

On March 21, 2012, the Company issued a $250,000 Convertible Promissory Note which is convertible into 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the holder’s option, or $1.00 per share, and there is no fluctuation in this conversion rate.
In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company recognized an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the note. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $250,000 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the note. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is charged to current period operations as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.
In the year 2012, the holder of the promissory note made payments of $200,000 directly to vendors of the Company for purchase of fuel and paid $50,000 directly to the Company. As part of the joint venture agreement the Company has agreed to pay 50% of all the profits generated by all the fuel transactions in South Africa.

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the Convertible Promissory Note entered into in January 2014. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Convertible Promissory Note, the Company determined a fair value of $130,485 of the embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Binomial Lattice Model based on the following assumptions:

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As required by ASC 820, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of June 30, 2014 on a recurring basis:
Assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014:

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of June 30, 2014:
| Derivative Liability | ||||
| Balance, December 31, 2013 | $ | 558,548 | ||
| Initial fair value of debt derivatives at note issuances | 711,413 | |||
| Derivative Liability on conversion of notes | (281,127 | ) | ||

| Net gain for the period included in earnings relating to the liabilities held at June 30, 2014 | $ | 529,123 | ||
The carrying value of short term financial instruments including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short period of maturity for these instruments. The long-term debentures payable approximates fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.
NOTE 12 - COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTIONS

Consequently, the holder of our preferred stock is able to unilaterally control the election of our board of directors and, ultimately, the direction of our Company.
Common stock
The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value of common stock. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had 275,797,325 and 37,709,552 shares of common stock as issued and outstanding.

NOTE 13 - OPTIONS
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 718, “Share-Based Payments” (“ASC 718”) to account for its stock options. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and our experience. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expect to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on our historical experience and future expectations.

ITEM 2 . MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Fuelstream, Inc. (hereafter, “Fuelstream,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included herein. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, or future strategies that are signified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," or similar language. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. Prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth herein, and the Company cautions investors that its business and financial performance is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are an in-wing and on-location supplier and distributor of aviation fuel to corporate, commercial, military, and privately-owned aircraft throughout the world. We also provide a variety of ground services either directly or through our affiliates, including concierge services, passenger and baggage handling, landing rights, coordination with local aviation authorities, aircraft maintenance services, catering, cabin cleaning, customs approvals, and third-party invoice reconciliation. Our personnel assist customers in flight planning and aircraft routing aircraft, obtaining permits, arranging overflies, and flight follow services.
Our core business has developed as a result of a joint venture and eventual acquisition of Aviation Fuel International, Inc., now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AFI”). The Company’s principal sources of revenues are expected to result from the gross selling price of fuel delivery contracts and associated services. Expenses which comprise the costs of goods sold are expected to include the acquisition price of fuel transported, as well as operational and staffing costs of the trucks and other vehicles used for delivery. General and administrative expenses have been comprised of administrative wages and benefits; occupancy and office expenses; outside legal, accounting and other professional fees; travel and other miscellaneous office and administrative expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include selling/marketing wages and benefits; advertising and promotional expenses; travel and other miscellaneous related expenses.
On June 21, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement to create a fuel logistics joint venture with South African based Global Airways ("Global"). Global is an international air transport organization whose activities cover acquisition, refurbishment, heavy maintenance, leasing and chartering of aircrafts throughout South Africa. We expect that this transaction will expand the Company’s international footprint in a market that is developing standardized systems to meet the aviation fueling needs of commercial and cargo carriers.
The partnership with Global underlines the company's strategic plan to generate new revenue streams by partnering with aircraft leasing and MRO businesses and includes the development, operation and management of the fuel storage, supply and logistic operations located in South Africa. It is anticipated that the partnership will oversee the logistics delivery of up to 3 Million gallons of Jet-A Fuel per month by the end of 2013 if the Company is able to secure sufficient means of financing the purchase of such fuel.
Our ability to generate revenues during the year 2014 and beyond depends substantially upon the Company’s resources available in order to develop and grow the business of AFI as a supplier of fuel and logistics. Such efforts require significant systems development, marketing and personnel costs, which, in turn, require substantial funding. If we are unable to obtain such funding, its ability to generate revenues will be significantly impaired and we may be unable to continue operations.
Because the Company has incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial. No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carryforwards, given the uncertainty of the Company being able to utilize such loss carryforwards in future years. We anticipate incurring additional losses during the coming year.
Results of Operations
Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Revenues. The Company generated net revenues of $210,174 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 3014, the Company generated net revenues of $257,588 as compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In the future, the Company’s sole source of revenue is expected to be related to fuel delivery contracts and associated services.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $184,557 as compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our cost of sales was $220,895 as compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our cost of sales consisted principally of the acquisition price of fuel and other petrochemicals delivered to customers and clients, other related services provided directly or outsourced through our affiliates, as well as operational and staffing costs with respect thereto. The increase is a direct correlation to the increase in sales as described above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $439,789 compared to $511,864 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses were $889,922 compared to $918,848 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is mainly the result of a decrease in the issuance of shares for compensation. The Company expects that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash- instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our fuel brokerage business.

Net Loss. The Company had a net loss of $890,910 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $599,472 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company had a net loss of $1,820,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1,178,733 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net loss was mainly due to the increase in interest expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2014, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $15,781 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold most of our cash reserves in local checking accounts with local financial institutions. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.
We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in a total stockholders’ deficit at June 30, 2014 of $6,165,439 and are currently experiencing a substantial shortfall in operating capital which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We anticipate a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming months, without additional cash inflows from an increase in revenues combined with continued cost-cutting or a receipt of cash from capital investment, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.
There is presently no agreement in place with any source of financing for the Company and we cannot assure you that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect the Company and its business, and may cause us to cease operations. Consequently, shareholders could incur a loss of their entire investment in the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Critical accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements for 2013 appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Evaluation on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2014, the end of our second quarter, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our board of directors has only one member. We do not have a formal audit committee.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Ryan International Airlines. One of our subsidiaries, Aviation Fuel International ("AFI") is involved in disputes with two airlines: Ryan International Airlines, LLC ("Ryan") and Direct Air. Both aviation fuel customers litigation arise out of disputed amounts for the delivery of Jet Fuel. Ryan Air failed to pay for fuelings received from AFI. AFI filed under the commercial lien laws as required to secure a lien on the planes fueled in order to protect their receivable due from Ryan. Disagreements between the parties resulted in both parties filing separate lawsuits in three actions. Ryan filed a cause of action in Case No. 09-57580, Ryan International Airlines, Inc. v. Aviation Flight Services, LLC (“AFS”) and Aviation Fuel International, Inc., (“AFI”), and sought recovery of $1,491,308.66 allegedly paid to AFS as pre-payment of aviation fuel and flight services under a contractual relationship between Ryan and AFS. AFI moved to dismiss the action, to which, Ryan has subsequently filed a notice of removal to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Bankruptcy Division Case No.: 12-80802. AFI filed an action for breach of contract for Ryan’s failure to pay certain Jet Fuel invoices for the delivery of fuel in the amount of $678,000 plus interest; Aviation Fuel International v. Ryan International Airlines, Inc., a Kansas corporation, Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, Trustee N.A., a Utah corporation, RUBLOFF 757-MSN24794LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, RYAN 767 LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, AFT TRUST SUB I, a Delaware corporation, RYAN 767 N123 LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and RUBLOFF 440 LLC, an Illinois corporation, Civil Action Case No. CACE 10-037788-04. AFI also filed the corresponding claims of liens under the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch, for each plane, registered and tail wing number listed therein. This action has also been recently noticed for been removal to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Bankruptcy Division Case No.: 12-80802. In addition, as a result of Ryan’s filing a Federal Involuntary Bankruptcy Petition against Aviation Flight Services (“AFS”) on June 10, 2010, Case No.: 10-27313-JKO, (S.D. of Fla.), our subsidiary AFI, also filed and was discharged as a creditor in the amount of $269,000. However, the obligations for the unpaid fuelings owed to AFI still remain outstanding as obligations due to AFI.
Southern Sky Air Tours, d/b/a Myrtle Beach Direct Air and Tours (Direct Air). On or about March 13, 2012, Southern Sky Air Tours, d/b/a Myrtle Beach Direct Air and Tours (“Direct Air”) ― a public charter operator ― ceased operations. Direct Air has subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (Worcester)(Case no. 12-40944). The Company currently has $122,000 in cash in escrow with Suntrust Bank, representing a partial payment by Direct Air for Fuel. This action is currently pending before the court, as it relates to the collection of the garnishment.
Russell Adler. On January 11, 2013, Russell Adler, our former Chief Executive Officer, filed a cross-complaint against the Company, AFI, and other associated persons in the Seventeenth Judicial District Court, Broward County, Florida. Mr. Adler’s complaint alleges various causes of action, including indemnification from the Company in respect of litigation described above, damages for breach of Mr. Adler’s employment contract, fraud, unpaid legal fees, unjust enrichment, and quantum meruit. We believe Mr. Adler’s claims are without merit and intend to defend the same.
As a result of the non-payment for Jet Fuel by AFI customers, AFI’s suppliers have filed actions that have resulted in judgment and garnishments, in the amount of $330,000. Most of these fuel outstanding fuel delivery charges are secured in the bankruptcy action involving Ryan as described above,
through lien filings by both the issuer and individual fuel providers. In addition, AFI incurred certain loan and debt obligations for which the Company is attempting to convert into common stock of the issuer.
From time to time, we are also a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with purchasers and suppliers of fuel. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
