1 PACIFIC AEROSTAR L.L.C.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PACIFIC AEROSTAR L.L.C. WAS FORMED PRIMARILY TO PROVIDE LEADING EDGE FLIGHT AND GROUND TRAINING FOR THE AEROSTAR OWNER/OPERATOR. THE COMPANY S SECONDARY GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AIRCRAFT ACQUISITION AND REFURBISHMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO NEW AND EXISTING AEROSTAR OWNERS. PACIFIC AEROSTAR OWNS AN AEROSTAR 600 MODEL AIRCRAFT THAT MAY BE USED FOR DEMONSTRATION FLIGHTS FOR PROSPECTIVE AEROSTAR OWNERS. PACIFIC AEROSTAR L.L.C. IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY TWO EXPERIENCED AVIATION PROFESSIONALS, WHO ARE CURRENTLY CAPTAINS FOR A MAJOR U.S. AIRLINE. WITH OVER 53 YEARS AND 34,000 FLIGHT HOURS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE IN BOTH GENERAL AVIATION AND AIRLINE OPERATIONS, WE CAN PROVIDE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE FLIGHT AND GROUND TRAINING INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE AEROSTAR OWNER / PILOT. OUR MARKET INCLUDES EXISTING AEROSTAR OWNERS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA, AND POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMERS LOOKING TO UPGRADE TO A HIGH PERFORMANCE LIGHT TWIN, SUCH AS THE AEROSTAR.

3 THE BUSINESS CONCEPT THE GENERAL AVIATION INDUSTRY HAS GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. WITH THAT GROWTH COMES AN INCREASING NUMBER OF LESS EXPERIENCED, LOW TIME PILOTS PURCHASING AND UPGRADING TO HIGH PERFORMANCE TWIN ENGINE AIRCRAFT. DUE TO THIS LOW EXPERIENCE LEVEL, AND THE FACT THAT THE AEROSTAR IS MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN MOST LIGHT TWINS, THE ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT RATE FOR AEROSTAR OPERATORS IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN AVERAGE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE FEDERAL AIRSPACE HAS BECOME MORE CONGESTED. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN AIRCRAFT AVIONICS IS INCREASING RAPIDLY IN GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT. ALL OF THESE FACTORS LEAD TO THE NEED FOR CHANGES IN THE WAY WE TRAIN PILOTS. IN RECENT YEARS, MANY AVIATION INSURERS HAVE EITHER GONE OUT OF BUSINESS OR CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS. INSURANCE PREMIUMS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY FOR GENERAL AVIATION PILOTS. WE HOPE TO CHANGE THIS TREND WITH THE HELP OF OUR TRAINING PROGRAM. BECAUSE OF PACIFIC AEROSTAR S MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE AND THE TRAINING PROGRAMS WE WILL OFFER, WE FEEL WE WILL HAVE A COMPETITIVE EDGE OVER OTHER SIMULATOR AND FLIGHT TRAINING COMPANIES, IN INITIAL AND RECURRENT TRAINING OF AEROSTAR PILOTS. THE HIGH LEVEL OF FLIGHT AND GROUND TRAINING TECHNIQUES WILL BE MODELED AFTER THE MAJOR AIRLINES TRAINING PROGRAMS. THESE ARE THE MOST ADVANCED IN THE WORLD. THIS IN TURN WILL HELP REDUCE ACCIDENT AND INCIDENTS FOR AEROSTAR OPERATORS AND LIABILITY FOR THE INSURANCE CARRIERS.
