1. Background and Basis of Interim Presentation

Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (“HBI”) was formed in late 2006 by GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and Onex Partners II LP, an affiliate of Onex Corporation, for the purpose of purchasing the Raytheon Aircraft business (“RA” or the “Predecessor”) from Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed on March 26, 2007. HBI acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company, LLC, which was renamed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”), and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited. Following the Acquisition, HBI contributed the equity interest of the entity purchasing the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited to HBAC. HBAC is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling and servicing of business and general aviation, training and special mission aircraft. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HBAC and its subsidiaries subsequent to the Acquisition.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of HBAC management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements and notes to conform to the current period presentation. We have determined that our deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances were misclassified in our December 31, 2008 Statement of Financial Position as included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This misclassification did not impact either the Statements of Operations or Cash Flows for any period presented. We have also concluded this misclassification was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. We have corrected the prior period presentation of these balances in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The table below shows the original and corrected presentation of these balances:

 

     At December 31, 2008

The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. As discussed in Note 3, we adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities on January 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Relative to SFAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) 157-1 and 157-2 in February 2008. FSP 157-1 amended SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The impact of adoption of FSP 157-1 and FSP 157-2 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements- an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) concluded on Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements (“EITF 07-1”). EITF 07-1 requires that transactions with third parties (i.e., revenue generated and costs incurred by the partners) should be reported in the appropriate line item in each company’s financial statements pursuant to the guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. EITF 07-1 also includes enhanced disclosure requirements regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, rights and obligations under the arrangement, accounting policy, amount, and income statement classification of collaboration transactions between the parties. EITF 07-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The adoption of EITF 07-1 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This accounting standard was effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In March 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significant Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” The FSP requires entities to evaluate the significance and relevance of market factors for fair value inputs to determine if, due to reduced volume and market activity, the factors are still relevant and substantive measures of fair value. The FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and we do not believe the adoption will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In January 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), which is effective July 1, 2009. Other than resolving certain minor inconsistencies in current U.S. GAAP, the Codification is not supposed to change GAAP, but is intended to make it easier to find and research GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately 90 accounting topics. We do not expect the Codification to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after March 29, 2009 are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. We performed an analysis of all existing financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis to determine the significance and character of all inputs used to determine their fair value.

SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories:

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; observable inputs other than quoted prices; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs reflecting the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Derivative financial instruments are valued using an income valuation approach. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is calculated as the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The fair value of the interest rate swap is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate yield curve. The fair value measurements also incorporate credit risk. For derivatives in a liability position, we incorporated our own credit risk, and, for derivatives in an asset position, the counterparty’s credit risk is incorporated. To measure credit risk, we modify our discount rate to include the applicable credit spread, which is calculated as the difference between the relevant entity’s yield curve (or average yield curve for similarly rated companies, if the specific entity’s yield curve is not available) and LIBOR, for the derivative. Significant inputs to these valuation models include forward rates, interest rates and yield curves, which are obtained from third-party pricing services. These inputs are derived principally from, or corroborated by, other observable market data and are therefore considered to be Level 2 inputs. Our valuations do not include any significant Level 3, or unobservable, inputs.

4. Product Warranty

Warranty provisions related to commercial aircraft and parts sales are determined based upon an estimate of costs that may be incurred for warranty services over the period of coverage from 1 to 10 years. We estimate our warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to verify that it appropriately reflects the estimated remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience causes management to revise its estimates. The effects of changes in estimates are reflected in the period the estimates are revised.

Net non-cash transfers of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008 were excluded from changes in inventories in the statement of cash flows for aircraft physically transferred from inventory to property, plant, and equipment.

6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We use derivative instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts to hedge our economic exposure to changes in the variability of future cash flows attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and, when allowable, we designate these instruments as cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Our derivative instruments are executed with creditworthy institutions, and we do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge forecasted U.K. pound sterling inventory purchases. Notional amounts outstanding at March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008 based on contract rates were $499.5 million and $622.7 million, respectively. The maturity dates of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at March 29, 2009 extend through January 2011. For the three months ended March 29, 2009, the net gain recognized in earnings due to ineffectiveness or for foreign currency forward contracts not designated in a hedging relationship was insignificant. At March 29, 2009, approximately $59.9 million of net losses are expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings over the next twelve months as the underlying transactions mature and the hedged items impact earnings.

As discussed in Note 7, we announced our intention to decrease aircraft production rates in anticipation of reduced demand for new aircraft due to weakness in the overall economy. As a result, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for foreign currency forward contracts where the forecasted transactions are no longer probable, which resulted in $16.1 million of unrealized losses on foreign currency forward contracts being reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the three months ended March 29, 2009. We will purchase offsetting foreign currency forward contracts as market conditions allow. We will continue to record the change in fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts in earnings until our positions can be terminated.

Interest Rate Swap

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement in April 2007 to effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The notional amount of the swap amortizes as follows: $420.0 million for the period from December 31, 2008 through December 30, 2009; $335.0 million for the period from December 31, 2009 through December 30, 2010; and $150.0 million for the period from December 31, 2010 through December 30, 2011.

Our counterparty syndicated 40% of the swap by entering into risk participation agreements with a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. (“Lehman”) and another financial institution. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which triggered termination of its risk participation agreement with our counterparty. As agreed with our counterparty, the swap was amended to increase the fixed rate by four basis points to 4.95% to compensate our counterparty for assuming the additional credit risk. We de-designated the cash flow hedging relationship under the original terms of the swap and re-designated the amended swap in a new cash flow hedging relationship.

For the three months ended March 29, 2009, we reclassified a loss of $1.5 million from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense related to the de-designation of the original hedging relationship. For the three months ended March 29, 2009, no ineffectiveness was recognized for the new hedging relationship. At March 29, 2009, a loss of approximately $5.1 million is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense over the next twelve months related to the de-designation of the original hedging relationship.

7. Employee Separation

In February 2009, we announced work force reductions as a result of anticipated reduced aircraft production rates due to weakness in the overall economy and decreased demand in the general aviation industry. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, we recorded pre-tax restructuring costs of $13.6 million related to the estimated severance cost as a result of the work force reductions.

The average floating interest rate on the senior secured term loan was 2.80% and 2.79% at March 29, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

During the three months ended March 29, 2009 we purchased, at a significant discount, $222.0 million of our debt securities realizing a net gain of $177.0 million. We purchased $128.0 million of our Senior Fixed Rate Notes, $14.6 million of our Senior PIK-election Notes and $79.4 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes paying an aggregated total of $41.0 million. The net gain includes a $4.0 million charge to reduce the carrying value of deferred debt issuance cost for the portion related to the notes purchased. We also paid $8.9 million in accrued but previously unpaid interest on the notes purchased.

Notes payable represents a deferred payment obligation to a supplier under which the supplier is paid by the lender upon our receipt of goods, and we pay the lender within 155 days under the terms of the underlying short-term promissory notes, with interest determined at the five month LIBOR plus 1.85%. At March 29, 2009, we had $79.4 million of outstanding notes payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.62%. At December 31, 2008, we had $113.6 million of outstanding notes payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.62%. The issuance of these notes is treated as a non-cash financing transaction. $46.0 million and $46.7 million of notes were issued during the three months ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively.

9. Income Taxes

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of various assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period in which the rate change occurs. A valuation allowance is established to offset any deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We are included in the consolidated U.S. federal tax return of HBI. HBI, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Despite our belief that our tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged by taxing authorities. Our tax reserves reflect the difference between the tax benefit claimed on tax returns and the amount recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). These reserves have been established based on management’s assessment as to potential exposure attributable to permanent differences and interest applicable to both permanent and temporary differences. The tax reserves are reviewed periodically and adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as progress of tax audits, lapse of applicable statutes of limitations and changes in tax law. There were no material changes to our uncertain tax positions during the three months ending March 29, 2009. We do not anticipate any material changes to our existing tax reserves to occur within the next twelve months.

We are not currently under audit with the Internal Revenue Service or any State taxing authorities.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Act”). Among its provisions, the Act permits certain taxpayers to elect to defer the taxation of cancellation-of-indebtedness (“COD”) income arising from certain repurchases, exchanges or modifications of their outstanding debt that occur during 2009 and 2010. The COD income can be deferred for five years and then included in taxable income ratably over the next five years. We plan to defer the COD income on the purchase of our debt securities recorded in the financial statements for the period ending March 29, 2009.

Income taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, we include certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. As of March 29, 2009, the estimated overall tax rate for the full year 2009 was 27.0%. Included in the estimated overall tax rate was the discrete item relating to the gain on the debt repurchase discussed above. The estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is negative 28.9%.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2008 in the amount of $276.2 million. We provide a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets, will not be realized. Our deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased approximately $53.8 million during the three months ending March 29, 2009 to $222.4 million as of March 29, 2009. The decrease in the valuation allowance during the quarter was caused by the reduction in net deferred tax assets resulting from the deferral of the COD income. We intend to maintain the valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence related to sources of future taxable income exists to support a reversal of the valuation allowance.

10. Pension and Other Employee Benefits

We have defined benefit pension and retirement plans covering the majority of our employees hired prior to January 1, 2007 (“Pension Benefits”). In addition to providing Pension Benefits, we provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees through other postretirement defined benefit plans (“Other Benefits”).

We expect total contributions, both required and discretionary, to the Pension Benefits and Other Benefits plans to be approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in 2009.

We maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan under which covered employees are allowed to contribute up to a specific percentage of their eligible compensation. We match (“HBAC Match”) employee contributions up to a maximum of four percent of eligible compensation. Total HBAC Match expense was $4.3 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively.

We maintain a retirement income savings program (“RISP”), which is a defined contribution plan, for certain employees who were hired on or after January 1, 2007. These employees will participate in the RISP in place of the Pension Benefits described above. We contribute to the covered employee’s participant account up to a maximum of 9% of the employee’s pay based on the employee’s age and tenure. The funds can be invested among several investment options as directed by the employee. Total expense for the RISP was $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 29, 2009, the company’s new Chief Executive Officer was granted 621,875 service-vesting stock options, 621,875 performance-vesting stock options, and 125,000 restricted stock units in HBI. We applied the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, to value the stock option awards. The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     Service
Vesting
    Performance

Expected term in years

   6.5     6.5  

Expected volatility

   41.3 %   40.9 %

Risk-free interest rate

   2.5 %   2.5 %

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

The expected term represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding and was determined for new grants using the simplified method. The expected term assumption incorporates the contractual term of an option grant, which is ten years, as well as the vesting period of the award. The expected volatility assumption was calculated by averaging the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly-traded aerospace and defense companies over a term equal to the expected term of the option granted. The risk-free interest rate reflects the yield on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond over a period that approximates the expected term of the option granted.

12. Related Party Transactions

Onex Partners II LP and its affiliated entities own approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBI. Affiliates of Onex Partners II LP currently own a controlling interest in Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (“Spirit”), one of our suppliers. Spirit supplies certain components for our Hawker aircraft, and we believe that purchases of components from Spirit are based on standard market terms. We received components from Spirit of approximately $5.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively. Advance payments to Spirit for goods not yet received were $8.4 million and $10.7 million at March 29, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and other private equity funds affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. own approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBI. Goldman, Sachs & Co. acted as an initial purchaser in the 2007 offering of the

notes that were later exchanged for our outstanding publicly held notes in a registered exchange offer. In connection with the registration rights agreement we entered into at the time of the issuance of the notes, we also agreed to maintain a market making shelf registration for the benefit of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., an affiliate of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its related investment funds, acted as the joint lead arranger and a lender under our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and its affiliates may occasionally engage in commercial banking, investment banking or other financial advisory transactions with us and our affiliates. Currently, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. is a participating lender in the Company’s credit agreement and Goldman Sachs Capital Markets, L. P. has entered into an interest rate swap with the Company. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. will serve as Dealer Manager for the tender offer to purchase a portion of our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes as discussed further in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and will be paid customary fees for this service.

We entered into a management services arrangement with the investment managers of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., and its related funds, and Onex Partners II LP, effective upon the closing of the Acquisition. Under the arrangement, we pay these parties an annual aggregate fee of $2.0 million, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, as compensation for various advisory services. This fee is shared equally by the two sets of investment managers. We also agreed to indemnify these parties and their affiliates for liabilities arising from their actions under the management services arrangement.

A member of the Board of Directors of HBI is also a member of the Board of Directors of Spirit.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we lease equipment, office buildings and other facilities under leases that include standard escalation clauses to reflect changes in price indices, as well as renewal options. Our rent expense was $3.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively.

We have assigned certain leasehold interests to third parties but remain liable to the lessor to the extent the assignee defaults on future lease payments amounting to $23.1 million and $23.7 million at March 29, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, extending through 2026.

We have committed to construct facilities and purchase equipment under contracts with various third parties. Future payments of $29.7 million and $40.9 million were required under these contracts at March 29, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The current commitments relate primarily to plans to expand our existing service center in Indianapolis, Indiana, and open a new service center in Mesa, Arizona, much of which we expect will be funded by proceeds from the future issuance of Airport Special Purpose Revenue Bonds, and to purchase new tooling and machinery.

We retain a portion of the liability for losses and expenses for aircraft product liability. In March 2009, in connection with our insurance renewal, we elected to increase our retained liability from $5 million per occurrence to $10 million per occurrence based on our evaluation of risks involved. The maximum liability of $20 million per fiscal year remains unchanged. Insurance purchased from third parties is expected to cover excess aggregate liability exposure from $20 million to $750 million. This coverage also includes the excess liability over the per occurrence limits. Raytheon retained the liability for claims relating to occurrences after April 1, 2001 through March 25, 2007. We retain liability for claims relating to occurrences prior to April 1, 2001, subject to limited exceptions covering specific liabilities retained by Raytheon. The aircraft product liability reserve was $12.9 million and $11.2 million at March 29, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and was based on management’s estimate of its expected losses not covered by third party insurers. We currently have no offsetting receivable for insurance recovery associated with this estimate.

We issue guarantees and have banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds to meet various administrative, bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations of us or our affiliates. Approximately $152.1 million, $86.6 million and $1.1 million of these guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds, for which there were stated values, were outstanding at March 29, 2009, respectively, and $151.9 million, $89.8 million and $1.2 million were outstanding at December 31, 2008, respectively. These instruments expire on various dates through 2016.

We are subject to oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). The FAA routinely evaluates aircraft operational and safety requirements and is responsible for certification of new and modified aircraft. Future action by the FAA may adversely affect our financial position or results of operations, including recovery of its investment in new aircraft.

As a defense contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, the U.S. Department of Justice and Congressional committees. Future action by these agencies and legislative committees may adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2007, the FAA informed us that it had initiated an investigation concerning compliance by one of our suppliers with part specifications involving our T-6A trainers and certain special mission King Air aircraft sold to the U.S. Government. HBAC cooperated with the FAA investigation and conducted its own supplier quality audits. HBAC believes the alleged non-compliance condition does not impact safety of flight. On June 17, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas notified us that the FAA had referred a civil penalty matter arising out of its investigation to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for enforcement. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FAA had recommended fines against HBAC of at least $2.5 million arising out of the alleged supplier non-conformance and HBAC’s alleged quality oversight of the supplier. We do not believe any resulting civil penalty would be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

On June 28, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office sent notice to us that it was investigating whether HBAC’s alleged conduct violated the civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) arising from the same facts as the FAA proceeding described above. The investigation was focused on the alleged supplier non-conformance with specifications and HBAC’s alleged inadequate quality control over the supplier’s manufacturing process on certain T-6A and King Air aircraft delivered to the government. HBAC cooperated with the government’s investigation. On March 26, 2009, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas filed a Notice in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas informing the Court that the United States declined to intervene in a qui tam lawsuit relating to the FCA investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Notice to the Court further asserted that the government retains the right to intervene in the FCA qui tam action and that no settlement of that action can occur without the government’s consent. The Court directed that the Second Amended Complaint in the qui tam lawsuit be unsealed. On April 13, 2009, the qui tam relators filed a Third Amended Complaint. The qui tam lawsuit, United States ex rel. Minge, et al. v. Turbine Engine Components Technologies Corporation, et al., No. 07-1212-MLB (D. Kan.), alleges FCA causes of action against HBAC (and its predecessor, Raytheon Aircraft Company). The lawsuit also alleges FCA causes of action, retaliation causes of action, and a tort cause of action against TECT Aerospace Wellington, Inc. (an HBAC supplier) and various affiliates of TECT. The Third Amended Complaint does not quantify the damages alleged against HBAC. Under the FCA, the government can recover treble damages suffered by the government plus civil penalties of up to $11,000 for each false claim. An adverse judgment under the FCA can also subject HBAC to suspension or debarment of future government business. The matter is now pending.

On April 7, 2009, Airbus UK Ltd. (“Airbus”) filed a Request for Arbitration (“RFA”) with the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris initiating proceedings against HBAC. In the RFA, Airbus alleges that HBAC breached its obligations under the Airframe Purchase and Support Agreement dated August 19, 1998 between Airbus and HBAC. More particularly, Airbus claims that it and HBAC reached agreement in April of 2008 for HBAC to purchase increased volumes of fuselages, wings, track kits and spare parts (collectively the “shipsets”) in the 2008 to 2010 time frame. Airbus further alleges that beginning in late 2008, HBAC unilaterally reduced the number of shipsets that it would purchase in breach of its contractual obligations. Airbus further alleges that it made substantial investments to expand its production capacity at the urging of HBAC and in reliance on alleged commitments from HBAC to make the claimed expanded volume of purchases. Airbus claims damages in an amount in excess of 40 million pounds sterling. HBAC expects to file its Answer to the RFA in the middle of May, 2009. HBAC denies the material allegations of the RFA and will vigorously contest Airbus’s claims.

Similar to other companies in our industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority in the ordinary course of business. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action.

While some working capital accounts are maintained on a segment basis, much of our assets are not managed or maintained on a segment basis. Certain property, plant and equipment, including tooling, is used in the design and production of products for each of the segments and, therefore, is not allocated to any individual segment. In addition, cash, other assets, non-current liabilities and deferred taxes are maintained and managed on a consolidated basis and generally do not pertain to any particular segment. Raw materials and certain component parts are used in production across all segments. Work in process inventory is identifiable by segment but is managed and evaluated at the program level. As there is no segmentation of our productive assets, no allocation of these amounts has been made for purposes of segment disclosure.

15. Guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information

Our obligation to pay principal and interest under certain debt instruments is guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain guarantor subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional, and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by us. Non-guarantor subsidiaries consist primarily of foreign subsidiaries of HBAC, which are organized outside the United States of America.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008 reflects the business of Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC” or “the company”).

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ significantly from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements are general business and economic conditions, production delays resulting from lack of regulatory certifications and other factors, competition in our existing and future markets, lack of market acceptance of our products and services, the substantial leverage and debt service resulting from our indebtedness, loss or retirement of key executives and other risks disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our Company

We are a leading designer and manufacturer of business jet, turboprop and piston aircraft. We are also the sole source provider of the primary military trainer aircraft to the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. We deliver our products to a diverse customer base, including corporations, fractional and charter operators, governments and individuals throughout the world. We provide parts, maintenance and flight support services through an extensive network of service centers in 27 countries to an estimated installed fleet of more than 37,000 aircraft.

Our operations are divided into three segments—Business and General Aviation, Trainer Aircraft and Customer Support. The Business and General Aviation segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells commercial and specially modified general aviation aircraft, as well as manufactures and provides aircraft parts to our Trainer Aircraft and Customer Support segments. The Business and General Aviation segment also sells used general aviation aircraft which may be received as a trade-in during a new aircraft sales transaction. The Trainer Aircraft segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells military training aircraft. The Customer Support segment provides aftermarket parts and service support for our installed fleet of aircraft worldwide.

We operate in the global general aviation industry, which experienced strong growth from 2003 through early 2008. Beginning in the latter half of 2008, the industry experienced declining demand as part of an overall weakening global economy. We continue to believe that our existing aircraft portfolio and planned derivative upgrades position us well within this market; however, we anticipate that we, and the business and general aviation industry as a whole, will experience significantly declining demand during 2009.

The general aviation industry has historically been a cyclical industry impacted by many factors, including the condition of the U.S. and global economies, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies, corporate profits and geo-political events. Historically, the general aviation industry has lagged behind changes in general economic conditions and corporate profit trends. As the current general economic environment has deteriorated, new order activity has declined, and order cancellations have increased. Consequently, while we believe that our backlog of $7.3 billion at March 29, 2009 continues to demonstrate solid market acceptance of our products, we do not believe 2009 new orders will reach recent year levels and expect backlog and customer deposits to decline in 2009.

Our Customer Support segment is also impacted by the general economic environment that has affected the general aviation industry; however, historically, the impact on this segment of our business has not been as significant as the impact on our Business and General Aviation segment. In addition to general market conditions, our Customer Support business is influenced by the size and age of the installed fleet of aircraft, our customers’ aircraft usage patterns and the overall maintenance requirements for our aircraft.

Table of Contents

Our Trainer Aircraft segment is less susceptible to changes in economic conditions and provides us with a more stable and recurring source of revenue. Sales in this segment are principally generated by U.S. and foreign government and defense spending. Decreases or reprioritization of such spending could affect the financial performance of this segment.

In performance of our annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined those assets were not impaired as of December 31, 2008. We have monitored events and market conditions during the quarter ended March 29, 2009 and determined there were no triggering events requiring additional impairment testing. However, if there was a significant downturn in our business, we could incur material impairment charges in future periods.

Recent Events Affecting our Results

During the three months ended March 29, 2009, we purchased, at a significant discount, $222.0 million of our debt securities, realizing a net gain of $177.0 million. We purchased $128.0 million of our Senior Fixed Rate Notes, $14.6 million of our Senior PIK-election Notes and $79.4 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes, paying an aggregated total of $41.0 million. The net gain includes a $4.0 million charge to reduce the carrying value of deferred debt issuance costs for the portion related to the notes purchased. We also paid $8.9 million in accrued but previously unpaid interest on the notes purchased.

On March 30, 2009, we notified holders of our Senior PIK-election Notes that we had elected to pay the October 2009 semi-annual interest payment on our Senior PIK-election Notes by increasing the principal value of the notes rather than by paying in cash. Such elections are available to the Company for each semi-annual interest period through April 1, 2011.

On January 20, 2009, we resumed deliveries of the T-6A Texan II (“T-6A”) military trainer. Deliveries had been suspended since June 6, 2008 pending resolution of quality issues with a supplier’s component.

In February 2009, we announced work force reductions as a result of anticipated reduced aircraft production rates due to the weakness in the overall economy and decreased demand in the general aviation industry. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, we recorded a charge of $13.6 million related to the estimated severance costs as a result of the work force reductions. On April 14, 2009, we notified our employees of likely further reductions in production volumes and in the size of our work force. The extent of the work force reductions is not yet quantified; however, we anticipate concluding our analysis of the necessary actions in the coming weeks.

Sales in the Trainer Aircraft segment are principally comprised of revenue on the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (“JPATS”) contract with the U.S. Government. Revenue is recognized on this contract using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. Accordingly, the majority of Trainer Aircraft segment sales, including estimated earned gross margin, are recognized as costs are incurred. Program cost in any period is impacted by the number of aircraft in production as well as support provided for the Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply (“COMBS”) and Ground Based Training Systems (“GBTS”) elements of our contracts with the U.S. Government. The $3.5 million increase in segment revenue is due to increased production volumes in support of resumed deliveries of the T-6A.

Customer Support segment sales are principally comprised of the sale of spare parts and maintenance services to existing aircraft operators. The $33.9 million decrease in segment sales was primarily due to the sale of fuel and line operations in late 2008.

Operating Income. As detailed in the table below, operating loss was $41.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million for three months ended March 30, 2008. A large majority of the decline was in the Business and General Aviation segment which was impacted by decreased delivery volume, charges associated with used aircraft valuations and mark-to-market adjustments on foreign currency derivatives as well as a significant majority of the $13.6 million charge to record the estimated severance costs related to the work force reductions announced during the period.

Business and General Aviation segment operating loss was $60.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to an operating loss of $24.5 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, the segment recorded a $25.3 million charge to reduce the carrying value of used aircraft inventory to current market values and a $16.1 million charge related to mark-to-market adjustments on foreign currency forward contracts no longer designated as cash flow hedges because the underlying purchase volumes are no longer expected to occur. In addition, $12.6 million of the total severance charge recorded during the three months ended March 29, 2009 related to this segment. Partially offsetting these declines was an $18.4 million charge related to early production Hawker 4000 units recorded during the three months ended March 30, 2008 for which there was no comparable charge in the current period.

Trainer Aircraft segment operating income was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The reduction is primarily due to increased research and development costs associated with development of derivatives of the T-6 aircraft as well as smaller profit adjustments on the JPATS program during the period. The use of the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition causes gross margin to be recognized based on management’s estimate of total contract revenue and total contract cost at completion. As estimates are updated, any impact on revenue and gross margin as a result of the change in estimate is reflected in current earnings on a cumulative catch-up basis. Favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $2.2 million were recorded during the three months ended March 30, 2008, compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended March 29, 2009.

Table of Contents

Customer Support segment operating income was $18.1 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Continued efficiencies within the parts distribution operation offset the operating income reduction caused by the sale of the fuel and line operations during late 2008.

Selling, general, and administrative expense totaled $52.5 million, or 9.8% of sales, for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to $59.4 million, or 10.3% of sales, for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily related to lower Business and General Aviation segment selling expense as a result of decreased sales activity.

Research and development expense was $28.1 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to $25.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. The increase is largely attributable to work on T-6 derivative products. Our research and development efforts continue to be directed towards a derivative aircraft strategy as well as ongoing certification activities related to the Hawker 4000.

Non-operating Income/Expense, net. Net non-operating income was $132.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009 compared to a net non-operating expense of $47.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2008. Essentially all of the change is due to the $177.0 million net gain associated with the previously discussed purchase, at a significant discount, of $220.0 million of our debt securities. The remainder of net non-operating expense is comprised of interest expense associated with our debt. The debt repurchases will reduce interest expense in future periods.

Provision for Income Taxes. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, we purchased $220.0 million of our outstanding debt, realizing a net gain of $177.0 million. The $177.0 million gain was treated as discretely affecting the first quarter tax provision as opposed to being included in the effective annual tax rate. See Note 9 to the financial statements for additional information.

The estimated annual effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2009, excluding the impact of cancellation of indebtedness income discussed above, was negative 28.9 %. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2009 was 27.0%, which includes the impact of the discrete item. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2008 was 36.5%. The decline in the effective tax rate was due to the full valuation allowance recorded on our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008. The valuation allowance affects our current tax provision and effective tax rate by deferring tax benefits until management determines we have sufficient positive evidence related to sources of future taxable income to recognize those benefits.

Three Months Ended March 29, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities was $171.2 million. The net cash consumed was primarily due to increases in inventory associated with the reduced delivery volumes as well as reductions in customer deposits associated with a decline in new orders. In addition, accounts payable balances decreased significantly as amounts due vendors associated with higher activity in late 2008 were paid early in 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities of $12.4 million related primarily to capital expenditures for tooling in our Business and General Aviation segment and facilities improvements in our Customer Support segment.

Net cash used in financing activities of $121.2 million represents payments on notes payable used to finance engine purchases as well as the cash used to purchase the Company’s debt securities as previously discussed.

Table of Contents

Three Months Ended March 30, 2008. Net cash used in operating activities was $181.9 million. The net cash consumed was primarily due to an increase in inventory in connection with increased build rates and the delay in Hawker 4000, Hawker 900XP, and Hawker 750 deliveries and the ongoing reduction in JPATS advance payments. Operating cash flow was positively affected by a financing arrangement created in 2007 with a third party that extends payment terms for engine purchases in exchange for short-term promissory notes and by an improvement in commercial aircraft deposits received.

Net cash used in investing activities of $10.9 million included capital expenditures of $10.1 million primarily related to tooling, facilities improvements and equipment used in the manufacturing process and additions to computer software of $0.8 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $42.3 million during the three months ended March 30, 2008 represents payments on notes payable used to finance engine purchases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In connection with the Acquisition, we issued $1,100.0 million of notes, including $400.0 million of 8.5% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due April 1, 2015, $400.0 million of 8.875%/9.625% Senior PIK-Election Notes due April 1, 2015 and $300.0 million of 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2017. In February 2008, we exchanged these notes for new notes with identical terms, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and do not bear restrictions on transferability mandated by the Securities Act or certain penalties for failure to file a registration statement relating to the exchange.

In addition, in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into senior secured credit facilities totaling $1,810.0 million, consisting of a $1,300.0 million term loan drawn at the close of the Acquisition, an undrawn $400.0 million revolving credit facility and a $110.0 million synthetic letter of credit facility. In March 2008, we reduced the synthetic letter of credit facility to $75.0 million based on our expected needs in the future. In December 2008, we amended the credit agreement to allow us to prepay, up to a maximum of $300.0 million, the secured term loan at a discount price to par to be determined pursuant to certain auction procedures. The prepayments may be financed with cash, if we meet certain conditions set forth in the amendment, including a $400.0 million minimum liquidity requirement (which amount includes cash and cash equivalents and any amounts available to be drawn under the revolving credit facility). Such prepayments may not be made from the proceeds of loans drawn under the revolving credit facility. The prepayments may also be financed with the proceeds of certain equity contributions from Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., our parent company. Under the terms of the amendment, any such prepayments will reduce the amount of the secured term loan outstanding and payable on the final maturity date. Additionally, we agreed to pay to each lender that consented to the adoption of the amendment prior to a specified deadline, a non-refundable consent fee in an amount equal to 0.025% of the aggregate of such lender’s loans, loan commitments and other participations outstanding under the credit agreement as of the effective date of the amendment.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for bankruptcy. One of Lehman’s subsidiaries, Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank, has a $35.0 million commitment in the Company’s $400.0 million revolving credit facility. Accordingly, we do not expect Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank to fulfill its funding obligations under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

As previously discussed, during the three months ended March 29, 2009, we purchased, at a significant discount, $128.0 million of our Senior Fixed Rate Notes, $14.6 million of our Senior PIK-election Notes and $79.4 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes.

The indentures governing the notes and the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants imposing significant restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. The restrictions these covenants place on us include limitations on our ability to:

 

   

incur indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

 

   

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

 

   

make investments or acquisitions;

 

   

create liens;

 

   

sell assets;

 

   

engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

 

31


Table of Contents
   

restrict dividends or other payments to us;

 

   

guarantee indebtedness;

 

   

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

 

   

consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

We have substantial indebtedness. As of March 29, 2009, our total indebtedness was $2,234.6 million, including $79.4 million of short-term obligations payable to a third party under a financing arrangement. We also had an additional $400.0 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility, subject to the expected $35.0 million reduction in availability due to the Lehman bankruptcy discussed above, as well as up to $75.0 million of available letter of credit issuances under a synthetic letter of credit facility. In addition, our senior PIK-election notes permit us to pay interest by increasing the principal amount thereunder (“PIK-interest”) rather than paying cash interest through April 1, 2011. If we were to elect to pay PIK-interest for all periods in which we have the option, we will incur indebtedness in an amount equal to the PIK-interest. On March 30, 2009, we notified our noteholders that we had elected to pay the October 2009 semi-annual interest payment on our Senior PIK-election Notes by increasing the principal value of the notes rather than by paying in cash.

As of March 29, 2009, we continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt agreements.

As of March 29, 2009 we had $72.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Since that date, we have fully drawn the $365.0 million available under the revolving credit facility and, as of May 4, 2009 had $299.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, including amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility and no further availability under our revolving credit facility. Concurrently with the filing of this report, we announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase a portion of our outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate purchase price of up to $100.0 million not including any accrued but unpaid interest. We have reserved the right to increase the maximum amount of Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes purchased in the tender offer. We intend to fund the purchase of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes from cash and cash equivalents on hand, which includes amounts previously drawn under our revolving credit facility. Following the completion of the tender offer, we intend to evaluate our future balance sheet management plans, which could include any combination of repayment of drawings under our revolving credit facility, prepayment of our term loan, additional repurchases of notes, either through open market repurchases or one or more tender offers, strategic acquisitions or other investments in our business. Our management believes that our cash on hand and cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months after considering the impact of the planned tender offer.

Seasonality

In recent years, a significant portion of our Business and General Aviation aircraft deliveries have occurred during the second half of the year. Given the long lead time involved in the production of aircraft, it is necessary to build aircraft throughout the year in support of the higher second half delivery volume. As a result, our working capital levels typically rise during the first three quarters of the year and are reduced significantly during the fourth quarter. Any disruptions to our business or delivery schedule during the second half of the year could have a disproportionate effect on our full-year financial operating results.

Backlog

Orders for general aviation aircraft are included in backlog upon receipt of an executed contract. Orders from the U.S. and foreign governments are included in backlog upon receipt of an executed contract up to the authorized funding limit. Our backlog was $7.3 billion at March 29, 2009 and includes significant orders with NetJets® Inc. and the U.S. Government.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use customary off-balance sheet arrangements, such as operating leases and letters of credit, in the normal course of our business. We may, from time to time, instruct banks to issue letters of credit on our behalf to support cash deposits and to guarantee the performance of our contractual obligations. None of the arrangements has or is likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits with respect to accidents involving our aircraft that allege personal injury and property damage and seek substantial recoveries, including, in some cases, punitive and exemplary damages. We maintain partial insurance coverage against such claims at a level determined by management to be prudent (see Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). In addition, Raytheon retained all product liability claims arising from incidents occurring after April 1, 2001 until March 25, 2007. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters or whether Raytheon will uphold its indemnity obligations (see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008). We are at risk of losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving aircraft for which we hold design authority. The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2007, the FAA informed us that it had initiated an investigation concerning compliance by one of our suppliers with part specifications involving our T-6A trainers and certain special mission King Air aircraft sold to the U.S. Government. HBAC cooperated with the FAA investigation and conducted its own supplier quality audits. HBAC believes the alleged non-compliance condition does not impact safety of flight. On June 17, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas notified us that the FAA had referred a civil penalty matter arising out of its investigation to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for enforcement. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FAA had recommended fines against HBAC of at least $2.5 million arising out of the alleged supplier non-conformance and HBAC’s alleged quality oversight of the supplier. We do not believe any resulting civil penalty would be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

On June 28, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office sent notice to us that it was investigating whether HBAC’s alleged conduct violated the civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) arising from the same facts as the FAA proceeding described above. The investigation was focused on the alleged supplier non-conformance with specifications and HBAC’s alleged inadequate quality control over the supplier’s manufacturing process on certain T-6A and King Air aircraft delivered to the

government. HBAC cooperated with the government’s investigation. On March 26, 2009, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas filed a Notice in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas informing the Court that the United States declined to intervene in a qui tam lawsuit relating to the FCA investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Notice to the Court further asserted that the government retains the right to intervene in the FCA qui tam action and that no settlement of that action can occur without the government’s consent. The Court directed that the Second Amended Complaint in the qui tam lawsuit be unsealed. On April 13, 2009, the qui tam relators filed a Third Amended Complaint. The qui tam lawsuit, United States ex rel. Minge, et al. v. Turbine Engine Components Technologies Corporation, et al., No. 07-1212-MLB (D. Kan.), alleges FCA causes of action against HBAC (and its predecessor, Raytheon Aircraft Company). The lawsuit also alleges FCA causes of action, retaliation causes of action, and a tort cause of action against TECT Aerospace Wellington, Inc. (an HBAC supplier) and various affiliates of TECT. The Third Amended Complaint does not quantify the damages alleged against HBAC. Under the FCA, the government can recover treble damages suffered by the government plus civil penalties of up to $11,000 for each false claim. An adverse judgment under the FCA can also subject HBAC to suspension or debarment of future government business. The matter is now pending.

On April 7, 2009, Airbus UK Ltd. (“Airbus”) filed a Request for Arbitration (“RFA”) with the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris initiating proceedings against HBAC. In the RFA, Airbus alleges that HBAC breached its obligations under the Airframe Purchase and Support Agreement dated August 19, 1998 between Airbus and HBAC. More particularly, Airbus claims that it and HBAC reached agreement in April of 2008 for HBAC to purchase increased volumes of fuselages, wings, track kits and spare parts (collectively the “shipsets”) in the 2008 to 2010 time frame. Airbus further alleges that beginning in late 2008, HBAC unilaterally reduced the number of shipsets that it would purchase in breach of its contractual obligations. Airbus further alleges that it made substantial investments to expand its production capacity at the urging of HBAC and in reliance on alleged commitments from HBAC to make the claimed expanded volume of purchases. Airbus claims damages in an amount in excess of 40 million pounds sterling. HBAC expects to file its Answer to the RFA in the middle of May, 2009. HBAC denies the material allegations of the RFA and will vigorously contest Airbus’s claims.

Similar to other companies in our industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority in the ordinary course of business. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial position or results of operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 5. Other Information

On May 1, 2009, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. adopted the final 2009 Management Incentive Plan. The plan provides a target award for each of our named executive officers based on a percentage of their salary. The target award level for Mr. Boisture is specifically set forth in his employment agreement. For our other named executive officers, individual award targets are based on the executive’s position within the organization and are approved by the Board of Directors. The individual target awards for 2009 are:

For executive officers, the plan provides for award payments based on the achievement of certain corporate financial performance measures and certain non-financial results. The corporate financial performance measures that will be utilized in 2009 are the following (the weighting of the measure is indicated in parentheses): (i) Net Bookings plus Budgeted Margin (15%), (ii) EBITDA (25%), (iii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow (12.5%), (iv) Quarter-end Cash-on-Hand Balance Achievement (3.125% per quarter, 12.5% for the year) and (v) H4000 Deliveries in 2009 (15%). In determining the actual bonus earned, the value assigned, based on the level of achievement, for the financial measures described in (i), (ii) and (iii) ranges from 90% to 125% of the target weighting, and, for the financial measure described in (v), ranges from 73% to 100% of the target weighting. For the financial measure described in (iv), the value assigned to the measure is either 0% or 100% of the target weighting based on the whether the goal is achieved. In each case, no value is assigned if the threshold goal for the measure is not met.

The corporate non-financial measures that will be utilized in 2009 are the following (the weighting of the measure is indicated in parentheses): (i) Complete EIS T6B (1.7%), (ii) Complete EIS KA350i (1.7%), (iii) ATS DEMO First Flight in Q4 2009 (1.7%), (iv) PII First Flight in Q4 2009 (1.7%), (v) Achieve Part 23 Organization Development Authority from FAA (1.3%), (vi) Complete NetJets Europe STC (.3%) and (vii) Obtain FAA approval of an Amendment 102 extension request (for H4000) for an achievable compliance and field retrofit schedule and have a solution(s) identified and approved by December 31, 2009 (1.6%). For each such non-financial measure, the value assigned to the measure is either 0% or 100% of the target weighting, with no value assigned if the goal for the measure is not met and 100% assigned if the goal is met. In addition, 10% of each executive officer’s bonus will be dependent upon Discrete Segment / Function metrics that will be developed for the executive and the value assigned to the measure ranges from 90% to 100% of the target weighting, with no value assigned if the threshold goal for the measure is not met.

With the exception of Mr. Boisture, whose maximum bonus payouts is equivalent to 200% of his target award pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement, the maximum payout for each executive officer under the Management Incentive Plan is equivalent to 113% of their target award. The actual percentage amount of target bonus earned by each individual is determined based on the level of achievement of the financial and non-financial metrics described above and the weighting applied to each measure. For each named executive officer, with the exception of Mr. Boisture, the percentage fixed by achievement of these financial and non-financial measures will make up 100% of the individual’s final bonus payout under the Management Incentive Plan. For Mr. Boisture, the performance goals and the levels of performance that will determine the amount of his bonus in excess of the target amount will be established by the Company in the second quarter.
