Business |
||||||
|
. Marine fuel logistics company that physically supplies and markets refined marine fuel and |
||||||
|
lubricants to ships in port and at sea. |
||||||
|
. Purchases marine fuel from refineries, major oil producers and other sources and resells and |
||||||
|
delivers these fuels using bunkering tankers to a broad base of end users. |
||||||
|
Service centers |
||||||
|
With service centers in Greece, Gibraltar, the United Arab Emirates, Jamaica and Singapore |
||||||
|
(which commenced operations June 2, 2006), ANW believes that it is are one of a limited number |
||||||
|
of independent physical suppliers that owns and operates a fleet of bunkering tankers and conducts |
||||||
|
physical supply operations in multiple jurisdictions. |
||||||
|
Income taxes |
||||||
|
. The principal operating subsidiary, AMP, is incorporated in the Republic of Liberia. |
||||||
|
. Under regulations promulgated by the Liberian Ministry of Finance, because AMP is considered |
||||||
|
a non-resident domestic corporation, |
||||||
|
. It is not required to pay any tax or file any report or return with the Republic of Liberia in respect |
||||||
|
of income derived from its operations outside of the Republic of Liberia |
||||||
|

|
. Provides fueling services to virtually all types of ocean-going vessels and many types of coastal |
||||||
|
vessels, such as oil tankers, container ships, drybulk carriers, cruise ships and ferries. |
||||||
|
. Customers include a diverse group of ocean-going and coastal ship operators and marine fuel |
||||||
|
traders, brokers and other users. |
||||||
|
Sales of six months ended June 30, 2006 up 93% |
||||||
|
(compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005), due to |
||||||
|
. Increased volume of sales in Greece, Gibraltar, the United Arab Emirates and Jamaica, mainly |
||||||
|
attributable to improved market conditions, and due to sales of marine fuel for a full six months of |
||||||
|
operations in 2006 in the service center in Jamaica, which commenced physical supply operations |
||||||
|
on March 1, 2005. The Singapore service center, which commenced physical supply operations on |
||||||
|
June 2, 2006, contributed minimal sales volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2006. |
||||||
|
. 33.6% increase in the average price of marine fuel, primarily due to the increase in worldwide oil |
||||||
|
and gas prices. |
||||||
|
ANW believes it is branded globally |
||||||
|
. ANW believes that its customers recognize the ANW brand as representing high quality and |
||||||
|
service at each of its locations around the world. |

Summary |
||||||
|
. Los-cost passenger airline service niche markets, many of which are without competition |
||||||
|
. Also generates ancillary income |
||||||
|
. Recent growth due to added flights and cities to the route structure |
||||||
|
. Visible top line revenue growth, although not clear that future markets will generate the same profitability |
||||||
|
Business |
||||||
|
. Operates a low-cost passenger airline marketed to leisure travelers in small cities, allowing |
||||||
|
ALGT to sell air travel both on a stand-alone basis and bundled with hotel rooms, rental cars and |
||||||
|
other travel related services |
||||||
|
. Scheduled service revenues currently consist of nonstop flights between leisure destinations and |
||||||
|
45 small cities. |
||||||
|
. Positioned as a leisure travel company focused on linking travelers in small cities to world-class |
||||||
|
leisure destinations such as Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Florida and Tampa/St. Petersburg, |
||||||
|
Florida. |
||||||
|
Business model |
||||||
|
. Provides for diversified revenue streams, which ALGT believes distinguishes it from other U.S. |
||||||
|
airlines and other travel companies. |
||||||
|
. Generated $11.55 of ancillary revenue per scheduled service passenger in 2005 and $15.08 per |
||||||
|
scheduled service passenger in the first nine months of 2006. |
||||||
|
. Ancillary revenues are generated from the sale of hotel rooms, rental cars, advance seat |
||||||
|
assignments, in-flight products and other items sold in conjunction with scheduled air service. |
||||||
|
. Fixed fee contract revenues consist largely of fixed fee flying agreements with affiliates of |
||||||
|
Harrah's Entertainment Inc. and Apple Vacations West, Inc. that provide for a predictable revenue |
||||||
|
stream. |
||||||
|
. ALGT believes a large percentage of customers fall within the baby boomer demographic and |
||||||
|
ALGT targets these customers through the use of advertisements |
||||||
|
Growth plan |
||||||
|
. Currently provides scheduled air service to customers in 45 small cities and have announced |
||||||
|
service from three additional small cities to commence in December 2006 and first quarter 2007 |
||||||
|
. These 48 cities have an aggregate population of over 50 million within a 50-mile radius of the |
||||||
|
airports in those cities. |
||||||
|
. ALGT has identified at least 52 additional cities in the United States and Canada with similar |
||||||
|
characteristics and where we do not presently have any arrangements for service. These cities |
||||||
|
represent an estimated population of over 50 million people that ALGT could potentially serve to |
||||||
|
Las Vegas, Orlando and Tampa/St. Petersburg destinations. |
||||||
|
Financial results |
||||||
|
As of September 30, 2006, had a fleet of 25 aircraft with 21 in service compared with a fleet of 15 |
||||||
|
aircraft with 15 in service as of September 30, 2005. |
||||||
|
. The growth of the fleet enabled a 84.8% increase in available seat miles ("ASMs") for first nine |
||||||
|
months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 as departures increased by 79.7% and |
||||||
|
average stage length increased by 2.0%. |
||||||
|
. Substantially all of the ASM growth in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 |
||||||
|
compared to the corresponding period in 2005 was in scheduled service which represented 85.3% |
||||||
|
of total ASMs in 2006 compared to 73.3% in 2005. |
||||||
|
Operating margins & net income |
||||||
|
. For the year ended December 31, 2005, ALGT maintained an operating margin of 6.4% which |
||||||
|
was higher than the U.S. legacy carriers and U.S. low-cost carriers other than Southwest Airlines |
||||||
|
Co. We had operating income of $6.1 million in 2004 and $8.5 million in 2005. |
||||||
|
. Net income was $9.1 million in 2004 and $7.3 million in 2005, the decline attributable to a |
||||||
|
substantially higher gain on fuel derivatives in 2004. |
||||||
|
Competitive advantages |
||||||
|
Focus on Underserved Cities |
||||||
|
. By focusing on underserved small cities, ALGT believes it avoids the overcapacity and intense |
||||||
|
competition presently seen in high traffic domestic air corridors. |
||||||
|
. On 55 of its 58 routes, ALGT is the only carrier providing nonstop service to Las Vegas, Orlando |
||||||
|
or Tampa/St. Petersburg. |
||||||
|
. Of the 70 routes ALGT will be serving by the end of first quarter 2007, there are only six routes |
||||||
|
with existing or announced service by other airlines. |
||||||
|
. ALGT believes it would be difficult for potential competitors to profitably contest ALGT's |
||||||
|
market positions with nonstop service as the markets are generally too small to support either two |
||||||
|
carriers or the high frequency service provided by most U.S. legacy carriers and U.S. low-cost |
||||||
|
carriers. |
||||||
|
. In addition, leisure routes from small cities are generally too low-yielding to be a priority for |
||||||
|
most carriers. Moreover, while some of these markets may be suitable for service with regional |
||||||
|
jets, we believe our unit costs are significantly less than the unit costs for most regional jets, |
||||||
|
making it difficult for regional jets to effectively compete. |
||||||
|
Low Operating Costs |
||||||
|
. ALGT believes its cost per available set mile (CASM) the year ended December 31, 2005 was |
||||||
|
approximately 31.2% lower than the average of the U.S. legacy carriers, and was approximately |
||||||
|
18.3% lower than the average of the Low Cost Carriers (Southwest). |
||||||
|
. ALGT's CASM for the first nine months of 2006 increased only 3.9% to 7.73˘ despite |
||||||
|
significantly higher fuel costs. |
||||||
|
. Excluding the cost of fuel, ALGT's CASM was 4.63˘ for the year ended December 31, 2004, |
||||||
|
4.27˘ for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 4.09˘ for the first nine months of 2006. |
||||||
|
Low Distribution Costs |
||||||
|
. ALGT does not sell product through outside sales channels and, as such, avoid the fees charged |
||||||
|
by travel web sites (such as Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity) and the traditional global distribution |
||||||
|
systems (such as Sabre or Worldspan). |
||||||
|
. HLGT customers can only purchase travel at airport ticket counters or, for a fee, through |
||||||
|
telephone reservations center or the website. |
||||||
|
. ALGT actively encourages sales on its website. This is the least expensive form of distribution |
||||||
|
and accounted for 84.8% of scheduled service sales for the nine months ended September 30, |
||||||
|
'2006. |
||||||
|
. ALGT believes its percentage of direct website sales is among the highest in the U.S. airline |
||||||
|
industry. |
||||||
|
History |
||||||
|
In June 2001, Allegiant Air, Inc. emerged from bankruptcy |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
The principal competitive factors in the airline industry are fare pricing, customer service, routes |
||||||
|
served, flight schedules, types of aircraft, safety record and reputation, code-sharing relationships, |
||||||
|
and frequent flyer programs. |
||||||
|
Use of $73mm in IPO proceeds |
||||||
|
. $0.9 million of the net proceeds to retire secured debt to the chief executive officer |
||||||
|
. Balance of the net proceeds to purchase additional aircraft consistent with the growth strategy |
||||||
|
and acquisition criteria, and to fund working capital and general corporate purposes. |

Summary |
||||||
|
. Significant recent top line revenue growth |
||||||
|
. Accompanied by profit margin expansion |
||||||
|
. Intellectual property not protected in all counties, but does have 77 isued US patents |
||||||
|
with 25 more pending |
||||||
|
Business |
||||||
|
. Sports-inspired products under the HEELYS brand targeted to the youth market. |
||||||
|
. The primary product, HEELYS-wheeled footwear, is patented, dual-purpose footwear that |
||||||
|
incorporates a stealth, removable wheel in the heel. |
||||||
|
. HEELYS-wheeled footwear allows the user to seamlessly transition from walking or running to |
||||||
|
skating by shifting weight to the heel. |
||||||
|
. Users can transform HEELYS-wheeled footwear into street footwear by removing the wheel. |
||||||
|
. In 2005, approximately 95% of our net sales was derived from the sale of HEELYS-wheeled |
||||||
|
footwear. |
||||||
|
.Also sells branded accessories such as replacement wheels, helmets and other protective gear. |
||||||
|
Sales issues |
||||||
|
. Introduced HEELYS-wheeled footwear in 2000, and for several years domestic sales were |
||||||
|
concentrated with one large, national specialty retailer. |
||||||
|
. Although HLYS initially focused on driving domestic sales growth, HLYS also established |
||||||
|
relationships with an independent distributor in each of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia |
||||||
|
. As a result, the sources of net sales were largely concentrated and HLYS was susceptible to |
||||||
|
customer-specific and region-specific factors, including competition from counterfeit, knockoff |
||||||
|
and infringing products in international markets. |
||||||
|
. This concentration caused variability in results of operations. Since that time, HLYS has |
||||||
|
diversified its retail customer base in the United States and expanded international distribution |
||||||
|
channels to mitigate this concentration. |
||||||
|
Seasonality |
||||||
|
. Similar to other vendors of footwear products, sales of products are subject to seasonality. There |
||||||
|
are three major buying seasons in footwear: spring/summer, back-to-school and holiday. |
||||||
|
Shipments for spring/summer take place during the first quarter and early weeks of the second |
||||||
|
quarter, shipments for back-to-school generally occur over the summer and shipments for the |
||||||
|
holiday season begin in October and finish in early December. |
||||||
|
. Historically, HLYS has experienced greater revenues in the second half of the year than those in |
||||||
|
the first half due to a concentration of shopping around the back-to-school and holiday seasons. |
||||||
|
The first quarter has typically been the lowest sales quarter. |
||||||
|
Backlog |
||||||
|
. HLYS typically receives most of their orders three to four months prior to the date the products |
||||||
|
are shipped to customers. |
||||||
|
. At September 30, 2006, the backlog was $69.0 million, compared to $13.0 million at September |
||||||
|
'30, 2005. |
||||||
|
. At December 31, 2005, the backlog was $10.7 million, compared to $3.6 million at December |
||||||
|
'31, 2004. |
||||||
|
. For a variety of reasons, including the timing of release dates for product offerings, shipments, |
||||||
|
order deadlines and receipt of orders, backlog may not be a reliable measure of future sales and |
||||||
|
may not be comparable from one period to another. |
||||||
|
Intellectual property |
||||||
|
HLYS owns more than 77 issued patents and pending patent applications in more than 25 |
||||||
|
countries, 49 of which are related to our HEELYS-wheeled footwear. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
In certain international markets where enforcing intellectual property rights is more difficult than |
||||||
|
in the United States, HLYS competes against counterfeit, knockoff and infringing products, which |
||||||
|
typically are offered at lower prices. |
||||||
|
Use of $47mm in IPO proceeds from sale of 3.125mm shares |
||||||
|
(shareholders intend to sell 3.125mm shares) |
||||||
|
Repay $25mm in debt |
||||||
|
. Remainder for infrastructure improvements, including expanding and upgrading information |
||||||
|
technology systems; hiring new employees; marketing and advertising; product development; |
||||||
|
working capital; and other general corporate purposes. |
