Avantair, Inc Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Avantair, Inc. (OTCBB: AACQ, AACQU, AACQW)

* Net revenues for the fiscal second quarter 2007 increased 86% year over year

* Maintenance and management fees for the quarter increased 85% year over year

* Operating expenses as a percent of revenue declines year over year

Avantair, Inc. (OTCBB: AACQ, AACQU, AACQW) ("Avantair"), a fractional aircraft operator, today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Avantair's total revenues for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $18.1 million, an increase of 86% as compared to $9.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This growth reflects an increase in aircraft shares from 274.5 to 408.5, price increases on these shares, and higher maintenance and management fees. "We are very pleased with the progress we made in the second quarter," commented Mr. Steven Santo, CEO of Avantair, "our strong sales performance in the quarter reflects our growth in the fleet and our focus on growing the maintenance and management fees portion of our business, as this recurring revenue stream will help cover our fixed costs going forward. We were also very encouraged by the decline in operating expense as a percent of revenue as this clearly reflects the leverage in our model as we increase our fleet. With our new status as a public company and a strengthened balance sheet, we look forward to even greater progress in the future. We continue to see a significant amount of interest in the Piaggio Avanti from both individuals and corporations. Current delivery schedules indicate that we will end the June fiscal year with 37 aircraft in the fleet."

Revenues from fractional aircraft shares sold were $7.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of 54% as compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This reflects both an increase in the fractional fleet size to 27 aircraft at the end of the quarter as compared to 19 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and an increase in the price of aircraft shares to $405,000 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $390,000 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Under GAAP accounting, sales and the associated costs of fractional aircraft shares are amortized over 60 months.

Revenue from maintenance and management fees was $9.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of 85% compared to $5.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily reflecting the increase in aircraft shares from last year and an increase in monthly management fees, which were raised to $8,400 during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $7,900 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $3.3 million, or 18.1% of revenues, compared to $3.4 million, or 35.4% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily as a result of improved absorption of capacity and cost cutting initiatives. Selling expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $1.0 million, or 5.7% of revenues, as compared to $611,000, or 6.3% of revenues, for the same period last year. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $21.4 million, or 118% of sales, as compared to $14.1 million, or 145% of sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3.3 million, an improvement of $1.1 million from the loss of $4.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $6.6 million as compared to a net loss of $4.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 including expenses related to the transaction with Ardent

For the six months ended December 31, 2006, revenues were approximately $34.7 million, an increase of 53% as compared to $22.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006. Loss from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $6.6 million as compared to a loss of $5.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006. Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was $10.4 as compared to a loss of $6.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006.
