TMPS,,, A SUMMARY

Johan Eliasch saw an opportunity to take TMPS for a song! ANYONE who has been here long enough & in touch with reality KNOWS that Johan Eliasch executed an option to BUY clause in the loan terms for the Gulfstream jet. Curiously,,, the Carpet Baggers running TMPS at the time were unable to scare up a measly $6 million for ONE AIRCRAFT despite the fact that they were working with over $100 million in Government contracts.

What the management didn't seem understand was that the primary value of this company was not the Gulfstream. It was the U.S. Government connections in the Aero-Space sector. Johan Eliasch realized this & saw a diamond in the rough. I'm also willing to bet that Johan already knew of the TriStars collecting dust in storage YET still being maintained in Fly-away status.

Johan Eliasch made a great deal then and continues making great deals. As an example, issuing 6,730,769 common shares at a value of $0.52 to Johan Claasen to secure 6 Lockheed L-1011 TriStars.

When we consider who OWNS a major stake of this company as well as who was RUNNING it & what EACH brings to the table, we have no business what so ever trading under $2 a share!

Johan Eliasch does not have a history of fleecing penny stock traders. He buys companies, rebuilds them, increases their value & holds them. Scott Terry has experience in this field & does sell companies!

We know without so much as a shred of doubt that our Billionaire owner has NEVER had even a hint of impropriety associated with his resume! Talk about sterling credentials. There's no way in hell someone could put a negative spin on this,,,

"Johan Eliasch (born February 1962), is a Swedish billionaire businessman, and the chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Head N.V.,[2] the global sporting goods group, and the former Special Representative of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
He is on the board of directors of Equity Partners,[3] Aman Resorts,[4] London Films,[5] the Foundation for Renewable Energy and Environment,[6] Longleat and Acasta Enterprises. He is an advisory board member of Brasilinvest,[7] Societe du Louvre, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Capstar[specify], Centre for Social Justice and the British Olympic Association. He is a member of the Mayors of Jerusalem and Rome’s International Business Advisory Councils. He is the first president of the Global Strategy Forum,[8] a trustee of Cool Earth and a patron of Stockholm University.

He has also served on the boards of IMG (2006-13) and the British Paralympics Association, the sports advisory board of Shimon Peres Peace Centre, the advisory board of the World Peace Foundation. He was non-executive chairman and a non-executive director of Starr Managing Agents 2008-2015. He was non-executive chairman of Investcorp Europe 2010-2014. He was a trustee of the Kew Foundation 2010-2016. He chaired the Food, Energy and Water security program at RUSI 2010-2016. He was a member of the Mayor of London’s (Boris Johnson) International Business Advisory Council 2008-2016."

What's really curious is that Johan Eliasch is not the only Billionair with a stake in TMPS. Johan Claasen another Billionaire, was issued 6,730,769 common shares of "TMPS" at a value of $0.52 as the seller of our Tri-Stars. Pretty significant when you consider He took a stake in the company instead of cash.

Remember, Johan Claasen was issued 6,730,769 common shares of "TMPS"! You don't run successful businesses by calling in a note, seizing assets & ripping off someone (another Billionaire) who became a Co-owner of TMPS less than a year ago.

I thought Johan Claasen was just a broker but BillJay pointed out HE WAS THE OWNER of the Tri-Stars,,,

So now we have the Lockheed L-1011 TriStars & the capability to provide Air-to-Air Refueling. Not only are these planes huge, they're considered one of the safest aircraft built. They also carry a lot more fuel than Omega's planes. .

Omega has "HAD" a virtual monopoly in the commercial Air-to-Air Refueling services & they make good money doing this. But they're stretched to the limit & can't meet the overall demands. There's room for other players.

The 1st AAR Conference in Europe has focused on ways to fill capability gap. They are pressed to the degree that they're talking about ways to "improve the standardization and streamlining of the international tanker clearance process." They need Air-to-Air Tankers! NOW.

1st AAR Conference in Europe points at ways to fill capability gap.

They're also on the record stating "As of 2025, it is expected to see Europe meeting 70% mark of its stated tanking requirement. While this represents a major increase, it still leaves Europe with an overall shortfall of 30%."

https://www.eda.europa.eu/info-hub/events/2018/09/12/default-calendar/1st-air-to-air-refuelling-conference-in-europe

Consider this,,, OVER FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THE EU WILL STILL HAVE A 30% SHORTFALL.


While thinking about that we can be pretty happy that TMPS has formed our wholly owned subsidiary Tristar Air UK Ltd. on August 1, 2019:

Got too love what AJ brings to the table,,,

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=150957831&txt2find=tristar|air|uk

By the way,,, Omega was the subcontractor to Flight International for providing Air-to-Air Refueling services to the U.S. Navy.

Yes,,, Scott Terry stepped down as CEO ,, BUT NOT BEFORE SECURING A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR TMPS.
So now's a good time to look at who was RUNNING this company!

What's really cool. It was our Scott Terry who was recruited by Flight International’s Board of Directors to improve the poor operating performance of the company.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-terry-33135b75

"Before joining Bombardier Aerospace, Mr. Terry was the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Flight International, Inc. Flight International was a publicly traded aviation services firm with annual revenues of more than $50 million and a fleet of more than 50 turbine powered aircraft. Mr. Terry was recruited by Flight International’s Board of Directors to improve the poor operating performance of the company. After three years of perseverance and strategic leadership, he was able to sell the company to Raytheon Aerospace for a substantial profit."

Actually it now appears that Veritas Capital was the entity that bought Flight International, Inc. then merged it with Raytheon which Veritas had bought a year & a half earlier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas_Capital

"Veritas made a major play in national security with the acquisition of Raytheon Aerospace in June 2001 and Flight International in December 2002. It merged the two companies to form Vertex Aerospace LLC,[11] and sold Vertex to L3 Technologies in October 2003"

It was the combined company, Vertex Aerospace LLC that sold for $650 million,,,

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20031022005353/en/L-3-Communications-Agrees-Acquire-Vertex-Aerospace-LLC

"NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2003--L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that it has agreed to acquire Vertex Aerospace LLC from Veritas Capital, a private equity investment firm based in New York, for $650 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to close in December 2003 and is subject to customary closing conditions."

Never the less, to this day Scott Terry remains the only person I can name that ran a civilian commercial company which successfully procured Department of Defense Air-to-Air Refueling Contracts & sub-contracted delivery of these services to the U.S. Navy.

Matter of fact he was the FIRST to procure Department of Defense Air-to-Air Refueling Contracts. He was for all intents & purposes the real pioneer in this field.

No coincidence that Johan Eliasch had Scott Terry running TMPS when one considers that the combined USAF & USNAVY refueling funding comes out to a $Billion a year through 2026.

Now as we all have witnessed, IT PAYED OFF HUGE,,,

https://dod.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract-View/Article/1818371/

"TriStar Air, LLC,* Newport News, Virginia, is awarded a $121,425,707 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity task order contract for aerial refueling services in support of the Department of the Navy, other Department of Defense agencies, and Foreign Military Sales customers. Work will be performed in Riverside, California (50 percent); Brunswick, Georgia (40 percent); and various locations outside the continental U.S. (10 percent), and is expected to be completed in April 2024. No funds are being obligated at the time of award, funds will be obligated on individual orders as they are issued. This contract was competitively procured via an electronic request for proposals as a 100 percent small business set-aside; three offers were received. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity (N00421-19-D-0034)."

Buckeye got a confirmation from Scott Terry that TriStar Air is owned by TMPS

BillJay told us where to find the filing,,,

Read the 8K filed 4/30/18. Clearly a wholly owned subsidiary. Go TMPS!

the Company has agreed to grant the Note Holder a security interest in the six L-1011 aircraft recently acquired by the Company (the “L-1011s”), and in the Company’s membership interest in Tristar Air, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary which is the direct owner of the L-1011s;

Now let this sink in,,,

Our contract is for FIVE years. Omega has NEVER been issued an extension before. Presently Omega's been issued two extensions back to back that in total amounts to 18 MONTHS. We're now in a relative vacuum where competition is concerned. I mean the writing's on the wall. We've just basically unseated the sole Navy A2A Refueling contractor for the past 20 YEARS.

Yes,,, Omega protested & the Navy shot the protest down.

However,,, The Navy has stated they intend to terminate the contract with TriStar as they are now opening a new bidding process which essentially will block any excuse for a protest. More than one bidder can win a piece of the action.
From where I sit, the Navy has made it abundantly clear, they want TMPS.

The Navy took a very long period of time reviewing the bids for the contract before granting it. During that time the Navy signaled their willingness to cut ties with omega with a 6 month extension. As the review process continued they left no doubt that their relationship with omega was drawing to a close with yet another extension.

Then they also spent a lot of time before shooting down the first omega protest.

The decision was reached by the Navy after an unusually extended period of deliberations where no stone was left unturned.
I personally have no doubt that the U.S. Navy will award TriStar/TMPS a contract!

Our Department of Defense Aero Space Firm,,, I think it's pretty safe to say that we will expand on our relationship with the Navy & grow that contract.

This is another avenue to generate income for TMPS.

"Tempus Applied Solutions LLC (Tempus), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tempus Applied Solutions Holdings Inc. (OTC: TMPS), has been awarded FAA approval, in the form of a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), for Tempus' initial FANS/1-A and ADS-B compliance solution [(Tempus' "Solution AA")]."

OTC Markets | Official site of OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink Markets

"FANS and ADS-B compliance will be mandated in most parts of the world by 2020. While some newer aircraft are delivered from the OEM with compliant systems, many older, large-cabin business jets will require extensive upgrades in order to comply with FANS/ADS-B mandates. Tempus expects to provide STC kits and turnkey modification and installation services to a wide array of commercial and government business jet owners and operators."

If nothing else that FANS Certification sure came in handy here,,,

"The RAF's ex-TriStars are in need of a cockpit update so that they can be compliant with the latest international air traffic and navigational standards. An upgrade was planned for the jets but it was cancelled due to their impending retirement. This would not be a cheap modification, but it would allow the TriStar to operate in virtually any airspace without additional approval or cost."

While we're talking about additional income I can't help but love the information StihlsawsRule dug UP. TMPS is likely earning gross annual revenue in EXCESS of $32,500,000. ,,,

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=151062530

We all knew they were generating revenue, It appears now we have a baseline.


I will remind all longs,,, When dealing with Government contracts, any Department of Defense contract is lucrative. But the best are always Aero-Space &/or Navy DOD contracts. The proverbial "Land Of Milk & Honey!"

Little wonder why Johan Claasen accepted a 6,730,769 common share stake in this company!

There was a lot more information that could have been added about the Tri-Stars, what a great aircraft it is as well as TMPS ability to maintain them. Also could have discussed a lot more about Johan Eliasch & his UK/EU connections. I just don't have the time &/or the space.

Anyway I hope this presents as a good starting place for people to begin their Due Diligence on one of the best plays on the OTC.
One last thing I would like to add. Because of the Navy's announcement that they intend to terminate the first contract with us we now find ourselves back on the ground floor @ less than .25 a share.

Someday, Tempus Applied Solutions will be a very profitable NAZDAQ company!

"Matter of time, nothing more, nothing less!"
