Company Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, in Proposed Exhibit 99.3 the Company has included the useful life assigned to customer relationships in Adjustment M and to the tradename in Adjustment N.

Adjustment O: Return-to-Service Obligations: page 9

Please explain to us, supplementally and in detail, your basis in GAAP for recording the $19.8 million in deferred maintenance for the “assumed leased fleet’s returned to service obligations.” In addition, please identify the specific aircraft to which you refer, tell us why they were not in service during 2012, and explain how the $19.8 million figure was determined. We may have further comments upon review of your response.

Company Response: The $19.8 million in deferred maintenance cost consists of aircraft lease return obligations that the Company recorded as a liability as of the date of acquisition. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. (“EHI”) from Evergreen International Aviation, Inc. (“EIA”), the Company pre-negotiated accelerated timelines and return-to-service obligations with the lessors of EHI in exchange for obtaining consent for the transfer of the leases to the Company. These obligations are binding and therefore the related return-to-service costs are highly probable. The deferred maintenance costs were a result of cash constraints on EIA, which caused EHI to remove parts from the affected aircraft which were installed on other aircraft under contract.

In accordance with FASB ASC 908-360 and guidance in the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide on Airlines, supported by the Financial Reporting Executive Committee (“FinREC”) on the accounting, reporting, or disclosure treatment of transactions or events that are not set forth in FASB guidance, the Company has recognized a lease obligation as the lesser of (a) the contractual cash settlement to the lessor in accordance with the terms of the lease or (b) the estimated cost of the major overhaul.

The Company estimated the return-to-service obligations for nine leased aircraft using historical maintenance costs incurred for the same or like components during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company has reviewed the affected aircraft and has comprehensively identified all of the components that are in need of service or replacement on the nine aircraft. The total obligation of $19.8 million includes the estimated overhaul of 15 engines for an estimated cost of $10.3 million, seven main gearboxes for an estimated cost of $2.2 million, nine rotor blades for an estimated cost of $0.9 million and five main rotor heads for an estimated cost of $0.8 million, with the balance of $5.6 million comprising overhaul or replacement costs of other components on the affected aircraft.

Adjustment W: Interest Expense, page 9

10.

Please revise this explanation to include the interest rates assigned to each credit facility.

Company Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, in Proposed Exhibit 99.3 the Company has disclosed in Adjustment W the interest rates assigned to each credit facility.

The Company hereby acknowledges that:

•

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in its Commission filings;

•

Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filings; and

•

the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Company appreciates the Staff’s attention to the review of the Reviewed Filings. Please contact me at (503) 505-5815 or Michael Reed of DLA Piper LLP (US) at (202) 799-4229 if you have any questions about the Reviewed Filings or this letter.

EXHIBIT 1

Proposed Exhibit 99.3

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information combines the historical consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheet of Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated (the “Company”) and the historical consolidated statement of income and consolidated balance sheet of Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. (“EHI”), and gives effect to the debt offering, the promissory notes, the preferred stock and the new ABL Revolver, which transactions occurred in connection with the Company’s acquisition of EHI and are collectively referred to as the “acquisition.” These historical financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2012 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and at January 1, 2012 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon currently available information and using the assumptions described in the notes thereto.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information below should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013. This unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have actually occurred had the acquisition been effective during the periods presented or of the future financial position or future results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information as of December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended presented herein may have been different had the Company and EHI actually been combined as of that date or during those periods. The historical consolidated financial data has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition of EHI, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statement of comprehensive income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. Additionally, pro forma adjustments are based on management’s estimates or third-party valuations of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities in preparing the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information does not reflect non-recurring charges related to integration activities or exit costs that may be incurred by the Company or EHI in connection with the acquisition.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Financial Information

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2012 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and at January 1, 2012 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company’s management and is based on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and EHI’s historical consolidated financial statements. Certain amounts from EHI’s historical consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s presentation and certain amounts from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to EHI’s presentation.

This unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is prepared in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012, have been prepared using the following information:

Audited historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012;

Audited historical consolidated financial statements of EHI for the year ended December 31, 2012; and

Such other supplementary information as considered necessary to reflect the acquisition in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the acquisition of EHI under the purchase method of accounting are based on certain estimates and assumptions. The fair values of EHI’s assets and liabilities have been valued based on management’s estimates and third-party valuations. The Company’s management believes that its assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the acquisition of EHI and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information does not include the anticipated financial benefits from such items as expense efficiencies or revenue enhancements arising from the acquisition nor does the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information include anticipated expenses from restructuring and integration costs to be incurred by the Company.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position that would have resulted had the acquisition been effected on the dates indicated and if the companies had been managed as one entity. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013.

2. PURCHASE PRICE AND FINANCING CONSIDERATIONS

On May 2, 2013, the Company purchased from Evergreen International Aviation (“EIA”) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EHI for an aggregate purchase price of: (i) $185.0 million in cash; (ii) 4,008,439 shares of mandatorily convertible cumulative participating preferred stock , Series A (the “preferred stock”) of the Company, valued at $47.5 million based on an agreed value of $11.85 per share; and (iii) $17.5 million aggregate principal amount promissory notes issued by the Company.

The fair value of the preferred stock issued as part of the consideration transferred was measured on the acquisition date at the then-current fair value and resulted in a per share equity component different from the $11.85 per share agreed upon value of preferred stock of the Company. The Company issued 4,008,439 shares of preferred stock, valued at $78.0 million, or $19.47 per share on the acquisition date.

The fair value of the promissory notes was estimated at $15.9 million, assuming a market level borrowing rate.

In connection with the acquisition of EHI, EHI purchased nine aircraft from an affiliated entity of EIA for an aggregate purchase price of $13.0 million, all of which was paid by the Company on the acquisition date.

In connection with the acquisition of EHI, consideration transferred includes a term note receivable for the estimated working capital shortfall of EHI. EIA issued a term loan note with principal value of $6.15 million to the Company to fund the working capital shortfall of EHI. The term loan note fair value of $5.0 million assumes a market level borrowing rate.

In connection with the acquisition of EHI, the Company prepaid $6.8 million to a lessor, an affiliated entity of EIA and EHI, on the acquisition date for the remaining future lease obligations on three aircraft and returned the aircraft to the lessor on the acquisition date. As the transaction was entered into primarily for the benefit of the affiliated entity of EIA and EHI, the Company included the transaction as consideration transferred.

In connection with the acquisition of EHI, the Company paid $2.6 million on the acquisition date for prepayment of the three-year lease term on the McMinnville headquarters. The Company intends to occupy the McMinnville headquarters for one year. EIA refused the Company’s request for a shorter term lease during the negotiation of the sale of EHI. As a result, the Company does not expect to receive any future benefit for the rent prepayment beyond the first year. Therefore, the Company included the prepayment of the lease in consideration transferred.

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $296.4 million, which consisted of the following:


Cash	$	185,000
Preferred stock		78,044
Promissory notes		15,900
Consideration for nine aircraft purchased from an affiliated entity of EIA		12,971

Excess of consideration transferred over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill)													$	238,317

(a)	The consideration transferred is allocated to balance sheet assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date.

(b)

Total net assets of $18.7 million not acquired in the acquisition is primarily comprised of property, plant, and equipment, net of $19.5 million, other noncurrent assets of $11.7 million, and current portion of long-term debt of $11.6 million. All net assets not acquired in the acquisition are discussed in Note 3, pro forma adjustments (A-3), (C), (D), (E), (K), and (L). The fair value adjustments of $4.3 million to the EHI historical consolidated balance sheet in connection with the acquisition included $19.3 million for long term customer relationships, net, $7.0 million for property, plant, and equipment, net, $0.9 million for prepaid expenses and other, $0.4 million for other intangible assets, net, ($19.8) million for deferred aircraft maintenance, ($2.5) million for aircraft, net, and ($1.0) million for aircraft support parts, net. All fair value adjustments are discussed in Note 3, pro forma adjustments (A-2), (A-6), (G), (I), (J), (M), (N), and (O).

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(A)

Record the $400.0 million of notes issued and sold, the $15.9 million fair value of the $17.5 million of promissory notes, and the fair value of the preferred stock issuance on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. The net proceeds from the notes and preferred stock have been used towards the following pro forma adjustments:

(1)

Record certain components of the aggregate purchase price, including $185.0 million of cash and the fair value of $15.9 million promissory notes, with a principal value of $17.5 million assuming a market level borrowing rate, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

(2)

Record the aircraft purchase price of approximately $13.0 million, all of which was paid by the Company on the acquisition date, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

Record the total aircraft purchase of $13.0 million, comprised of aircraft, net of $6.9 million and property, plant, and equipment, net of $6.1 million, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 for the purchase of the aircraft. Remove approximately $0.9 million of aircraft, net and $3.1 million, net of leasehold improvements from property, plant, and equipment, net that were included in EHI’s audited historical consolidated financial statements for these aircraft. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income reflects depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $0.7 million for these acquired aircraft. Depreciation expense and amortization expense was calculated in conformance with the Company’s policy of depreciating aircraft and aircraft equipment over the shorter of an estimated useful life of 15 years or the lease term, buildings and leasehold improvements over the shorter of an estimated useful life of 20 years or the lease term, and vehicles and equipment over an estimated life of three to five years. See pro forma adjustment (U) for the exclusion of EHI’s lease expense of $3.0 million and pro forma adjustment (S) for the exclusion of leasehold improvement amortization that was included in EHI’s audited historical financial statements for these aircraft.

(3)

Exclude the Company’s pre-acquisition revolver and term debt of $71.2 million, promissory notes of $26.7 million, and capitalized debt issuance costs of $0.6 million from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 due to the refinancing of the pre-acquisition debt with proceeds of the $400 million notes issued and sold. Exclude the Company’s pre-acquisition debt related interest expense of $6.9 million and amortization expense of $1.2 million related to pre-acquisition debt issuance costs for the year ended December 31, 2012 on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income.

(4)

Total acquisition transaction costs and debt issuance costs were $13.6 million. Record $11.1 million of debt issuance costs to other noncurrent assets and $2.5 million of non-recurring acquisition transaction costs to retained earnings on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. Do not record the acquisition transaction costs to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income, as these costs are not expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. Record amortization of debt issuance costs related to the new debt financing of $1.6 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ending December 31, 2012.

(5)

Record $6.8 million related to the Company’s payment, on the acquisition date, to an affiliated entity of EIA and EHI for the remaining lease expense on three aircraft on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. As the transaction was entered into primarily for the benefit of the affiliated entity of EIA and EHI, the Company included the transaction as consideration transferred.

(6)

Record $2.6 million total prepayment for the three year lease term on the McMinnville headquarters, with $0.9 million to prepaid expenses and other and $1.7 million to goodwill, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. The three year prepaid lease term was primarily for the benefit of the acquiree since the Company has no intention of occupying the building beyond the first 12 months of the lease term. The $0.9 million prepaid lease amount represents the Company’s anticipated usage of the facility for 12 months from the acquisition date. The $1.7 million prepayment for the remaining 24 months of the lease term has been included in goodwill, since the Company does not intend to utilize the facility after the first 12 months of the lease term. Record net rental expense for the McMinnville headquarters retained by EIA of $0.9 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(7)

The $81.1 million of remaining cash proceeds from the notes is determined by deducting from the total term note issuance amount of $400.0 million, the cash consideration of $185.0 million, the payment for purchased aircraft of $13.0 million, the refinancing of pre-acquisition debt of $97.9 million, the transaction expenses of $13.6 million, the prepaid lease expense of $6.8 million, and the prepayment amount of $2.6 million for the McMinnville headquarters as discussed in pro forma adjustments (A-1) through (A-6), respectively. Of this $81.1 million total, record $46.0 million, consisting of $45.0 million of aggregate principal and $1.0 million related to anticipated interest, to current restricted cash on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 as the funds will remain in escrow related to the pending Air Amazonia acquisition. If such $46.0 million in proceeds of the notes are not released from escrow to consummate the Air Amazonia acquisition on or before July 30, 2013, then an aggregate principal amount of notes equal to $45.0 million will be subject to a special mandatory redemption, on a pro rata basis, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.

(8)

Record a term note of $5.0 million to prepaid and other current assets and other non-current assets of $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, for the estimated working capital shortfall of EHI. EIA issued a term note with principal value of $6.15 million to the Company to fund the anticipated working capital shortfall of EHI and the term note value reflects the fair value measurement of the term loan note assuming a market level borrowing rate. Record interest income on the term note of $0.5 million, including the amortization of any discount or premium, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(9)

The 4,008,439 shares of preferred stock were considered converted to common stock on the acquisition date and were valued at $78.0 million based on $19.47 per share, calculated using the closing market price of the Company’s share of common stock on the closing date of the acquisition. Record $78.0 million to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

(C)

Exclude a total of $33.3 million in assets comprised of $0.9 million in prepaid expense and other, $1.7 million in aircraft, net, $19.5 million in property, plant, and equipment, net, and $11.2 million in other noncurrent assets from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, for assets not acquired in the acquisition. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income excludes depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $1.9 million related to EHI’s assets not acquired as part of the acquisition.

(D)	Due to the Company’s tax election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338, exclude $0.9 million of deferred tax assets and $1.3 million of deferred tax liabilities from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

(E)

Exclude $2.9 million in assets held for sale from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, including an exclusion of $2.6 million for assets that were not acquired in the acquisition and an exclusion of $0.3 million for assets acquired in the acquisition and recorded at fair value in pro forma adjustment (J).

(F)	Reclassify $43.3 million of EHI’s property, plant, and equipment, net with $17.9 million to aircraft support parts, net, and $25.4 million to aircraft, net on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 to conform to the Company’s presentation.

(G)

Record adjustment to aircraft support parts, net, of $3.4 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, for repair parts that would have been consumed under the Company’s policy of directly expensing certain parts. EHI’s policy was to capitalize and depreciate such parts by aircraft. Record on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income cost of goods sold expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $3.4 million related to those aircraft support parts considered directly expensed.

(H)	Reclassify the Company’s overhaul parts from aircraft support parts, net to property, plant and equipment, net of $36.3 million to conform to EHI’s presentation on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

(J)

Record fair-value reduction to aircraft, net of $8.5 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, relating to the aircraft assets used in EHI’s operations. Entry excludes the fair-value adjustment recorded for the aircraft purchase discussed in pro forma adjustment (A-2). The adjustment to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, is recorded as part of the pro forma adjustment (T).

(K)

Exclude EHI’s short-term debt of $11.6 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, that is related to an EHI owned facility, which was not assumed in the acquisition. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income excludes related short-term debt interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, of $1.6 million.

(L)	Exclude $2.2 million of accrued and other current liabilities and $3.9 million of other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, for liabilities not assumed in the acquisition.

(O)

Record a deferred maintenance liability in current liabilities for the assumed leased-fleet’s return-to-service obligations of $19.8 million to deferred aircraft maintenance on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. In connection with the Company’s acquisition the Company pre-negotiated accelerated timelines and return-to-service obligations with the lessors of EHI in exchange for obtaining consent for the transfer of the leases to the Company. These obligations are binding and therefore the related return-to-service costs are highly probable. The deferred maintenance costs were a result of cash constraints on EIA, which caused EHI to remove parts from the affected aircraft which were installed on other aircraft under contract.

(P)	Eliminate upon combination the Company’s investment in EHI and the equity of EHI for $296.4 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, as discussed in pro forma adjustments (A-1) through (A-10).

(S)

Exclude EHI depreciation and amortization expense of $10.0 million for all assets, excluding those assets discussed in pro forma adjustment (R), acquired by the Company on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012. See pro forma adjustment (R) for the exclusion of EHI’s depreciation and amortization expense of $4.5 million. In total, pro forma adjustments (R) and (S) exclude EHI depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $14.6 million for all assets acquired by the Company on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

See pro forma adjustment (A-2) for the recording of depreciation and amortization expense of $0.7 million for the nine aircraft acquired by the Company. In total, pro forma adjustments (A-2) and (T) record depreciation and amortization expense of $7.6 million for all assets acquired by the Company on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(U)	Exclude $3.0 million from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for EHI’s lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 for the nine aircraft the Company purchased from an affiliated entity of EIA as discussed in pro forma adjustment (A-2).

(W)

Record $35.1 million of interest expense, including the amortization of any discount or premium, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012, resulting from the $400.0 million of notes with a stated rate of interest of 8.25%, $15.9 million in promissory notes with a stated rate of interest of 6.00% and an implicit rate of 9.00%, and approximately $125.0 million of available funds under a revolving line of credit. The unused portion of the revolving line of credit is charged at 0.500% when the average availability is greater than $50.0 million. Assume the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used as outlined in pro forma adjustments (A-1) through (A-10) and the revolving undrawn line of credit is unused in its entirety for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company is providing a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, to Adjusted EBITDA and to pro forma combined Adjusted EBITDA. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma combined Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to monitor its overall business performance. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash charges relating to financings. The Company includes the amortization of overhaul costs as an add-back to EBITDA. The Company believes that such adjustments to arrive at EBITDA are common industry practice amongst its peers and believes this provides a more comparable measure for managing its business.

Adjusted EBITDA means, as defined by the Company’s ABL Revolver agreement, with respect to any fiscal period, the Company’s EBITDA, adjusted for, without duplication, the sum of the following amounts for such period to the extent included in determining consolidated net earnings (or loss) for such period: (i) extraordinary gains, (ii) non-cash items increasing consolidated net earnings for such period, excluding any items representing the impact of purchase accounting or the reversal of any accrual of, or cash reserve for, anticipated changes in any period, (iii) non-cash extraordinary losses, (iv) any other non-cash charges reducing consolidated net earnings for such period, excluding any such charge that represents an accrual or reserve for a cash expenditure for a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense that was paid in a prior period, (v) to the extent not capitalized, (A) non-recurring expenses, fees, costs and charges incurred and funded prior to, on or within 9 months after the closing date in connection with the ABL Revolver and the EHI Acquisition; and (B) expenses incurred and funded prior to, on, or within 2 years of the closing date in connection with the termination of the lease for the location that is the chief executive office of EHI as of the closing date; and (vi) transaction related expenditures incurred and funded prior to, on or within 9 months of the date of consummation of (A) the pending Air Amazonia acquisition, (B) any permitted acquisition under the ABL Revolver, or (C) any investment that is permitted pursuant to the ABL Revolver, in the case of each of (A), (B), and (C), that arise out of cash charges related to deferred stock compensation, management bonuses, strategic market reviews, restructuring, retention bonuses, consolidation, severance or discontinuance of any portion of operations, termination of the lease for the headquarters of EHI, employees or management of the target of such permitted acquisition, accrued vacation payments and working notices payments and other non-cash accounting adjustments.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information combines the historical consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheet of Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated (the “Company”), and the historical consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated balance sheet of Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. (“EHI”), and gives effect to the debt offering, the promissory notes, the preferred stock and the new ABL Revolver, which transactions occurred in connection with the Company’s acquisition of EHI and are collectively referred to as the “acquisition.” These historical financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2013 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet at March 31, 2013 and at January 1, 2013 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon currently available information and using the assumptions described in the notes thereto.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information below should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013 and the Company’s most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2013. This unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have actually occurred had the acquisition been effective during the periods presented or of the future financial position or future results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information as of March 31, 2013 and for the year then ended presented herein may have been different had the Company and EHI actually been combined as of that date or during those periods. The historical consolidated financial data has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition of EHI, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statement of comprehensive income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. Additionally, pro forma adjustments are based on management’s estimates or third-party valuations of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities in preparing the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information does not reflect non-recurring charges related to integration activities or exit costs that may be incurred by the Company or EHI in connection with the acquisition.

All fair value adjustments are discussed in Note 3, pro forma adjustments (A-2), (A-6), (G), (I), (J), (M), (N), and (O).

3.	PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(A)

Record the $400.0 million of notes issued and sold, the $15.9 million fair value of the $17.5 million of promissory notes, and the fair value of the preferred stock issuance on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. The net proceeds from the notes and preferred stock have been used towards the following pro forma adjustments:

(1)

Record certain components of the aggregate purchase price, including of $185.0 million of cash and the fair value of $15.9 million promissory notes, with a principal value of $17.5 million assuming a market level borrowing rate, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013.

(2)

Record the total aircraft purchase price of $13.0 million, comprised of aircraft, net of $6.9 million, and property, plant, and equipment, net of $6.1 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 for the purchase of the aircraft. Remove approximately $0.9 million of aircraft, net and $3.0 million of leasehold improvements from property, plant, and equipment, net of $6.1 million that were included in EHI’s unaudited historical consolidated financial statements for these aircraft. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income reflects depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $0.3 million for these acquired aircraft. Depreciation expense and amortization expense was calculated in conformance with the Company’s policy of depreciating aircraft and aircraft equipment over the shorter of an estimated useful life of 15 years or the lease term, buildings and leasehold improvements over the shorter of an estimated useful life of 20 years or the lease term, and vehicles and equipment over an estimated life of three to five years. See pro forma adjustment (U) for the exclusion of EHI’s lease expense of $0.8 million and pro forma adjustment (S) for the exclusion of leasehold improvement amortization that was included in EHI’s unaudited historical financial statements for these aircraft.

(3)

Exclude the Company’s pre-acquisition revolver and term debt of $80.6 million, promissory notes of $27.3 million, and capitalized debt issuance costs of $0.4 million from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 due to the refinancing of the pre-acquisition debt with proceeds of the $400.0 million notes issued and sold. Exclude the Company’s pre-acquisition debt related interest expense of $1.4 million and amortization expense of $0.3 million related to pre-acquisition debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income.

(4)

Total acquisition transaction costs and debt issuance costs were $13.6 million. Record $11.1 million of debt issuance costs to other noncurrent assets and $2.5 million of non-recurring acquisition transaction costs to retained earnings on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. Do not record the acquisition transaction costs to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income, as these costs are not expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. Record amortization of debt issuance costs related to the new debt financing of $0.4 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ending March 31, 2013.

(5)

Record $6.8 million related to the Company’s payment, on the acquisition date, to an affiliated entity of EIA and EHI for the remaining lease expense on three aircraft on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. As the transaction was entered into primarily for the benefit of the affiliated entity of EIA and EHI, the Company included the transaction as consideration transferred.

(6)

Record $2.6 million total prepayment for the three year lease term on the McMinnville headquarters, with $0.9 million to prepaid expenses and other and $1.7 million to goodwill, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. The three year prepaid lease term was primarily for the benefit of the acquiree since the Company has no intention of occupying the building beyond the first 12 months of the lease term. The $0.9 million prepaid lease amount represents the Company’s anticipated usage of the facility for 12 months from the acquisition date. The $1.7 million prepayment for the remaining 24 months of the lease term has been included in goodwill, since the Company does not intend to utilize the facility after the first 12 months of the lease term. Record net rental expense for the McMinnville headquarters retained by EIA of $0.2 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

(7)

The $71.1 million of remaining cash proceeds from the notes is determined by deducting from the total term note issuance amount of $400.0 million, the cash consideration of $185.0 million, the payment for purchased aircraft of $13.0 million, the refinancing of pre-acquisition debt of $107.9 million, the transaction expenses of $13.6 million, the prepaid lease expense of $6.8 million, and the prepayment amount of $2.6 million for the McMinnville headquarters as discussed in pro forma adjustments (A-1) through (A-6), respectively. Of this $71.1 million total, record $46.0 million, consisting of $45.0 million of aggregate principal and $1.0 million of anticipated interest, to current restricted cash on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 as the funds will remain in escrow related to the pending Air Amazonia acquisition. If such $46.0 million in proceeds of the notes are not released from escrow the to consummate the Air Amazonia acquisition on or before July 30, 2013, then an aggregate principal amount of notes equal to $45.0 million will be subject to a special mandatory redemption, on a pro rata basis, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.

(8)

Record a term note of $5.0 million to prepaid and other current assets and other non-current assets of $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, for the estimated working capital shortfall of EHI. EIA issued a term note with principal value of $6.15 million to the Company to fund the anticipated working capital shortfall of EHI and the term note value reflects the fair value measurement of the term loan note assuming a market level borrowing rate. Record interest income on the term note of $0.1 million, including the amortization of any discount or premium, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

(9)

The 4,008,439 shares of preferred stock were considered converted to common stock on the acquisition date and were valued at $78.0 million based on $19.47 per share, calculated using the closing market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the closing date of the acquisition. Record $78.0 million to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. Record the acquisition issued shares of 4,008,439 on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

(10)

Record the investment in EHI of $296.4 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet for the purchase transactions as of March 31, 2013, by excluding the $59.0 million book value of EHI at March 31, 2013 and recording the consideration of $296.4 million.

(B)	Record reclassification of $0.5 million from EHI inventory to aircraft support parts, net, in conformance with the Company’s presentation on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013.

(C)

Exclude a total of $34.4 million in assets comprised of $0.7 million in prepaid expense and other, $0.6 million in aircraft, net, $25.5 million in property, plant, and equipment, net, and $7.6 million in other noncurrent assets from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, for assets not acquired in the acquisition. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income excludes depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $0.4 million related to EHI’s assets not acquired as part of the acquisition.

(D)	Due to the Company’s tax election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338, exclude $0.9 million of deferred tax assets and $0.1 million of deferred tax liabilities from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013.

The effective tax rate for the Company and EHI combined is 39.56%. Record a $4.1 million income tax benefit in order to adjust income tax expense for the combined entity to the combined effective tax rate on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Reclassify EHI’s interest expense and penalties for uncertain tax positions of $2.1 million and $0.1 million to interest expense and other income (expense), net, respectively, on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to conform to the Company’s presentation.

(E)	Exclude $0.3 million in assets held for sale from the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, for assets acquired in the acquisition and recorded at fair value in pro forma adjustment (J).

(F)	Reclassify $40.6 million of EHI’s property, plant, and equipment, net with $16.7 million to aircraft support parts, net, and $23.8 million to aircraft, net on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 to conform to the Company’s presentation.

(G)

Record adjustment to aircraft support parts, net, of $0.9 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, for repair parts that would have been consumed under the Company’s policy of directly expensing certain parts.

Record fair-value reduction to aircraft, net of $8.1 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, relating to the aircraft assets used in EHI’s operations. Entry excludes the fair-value adjustment recorded for the aircraft purchase discussed in pro forma adjustment (A-2). The adjustment to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, is recorded as part of the pro forma adjustment (T).

(K)

Exclude EHI’s short-term debt of $11.5 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, that is related to an EHI owned facility, which was not assumed in the acquisition. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income excludes related short-term debt interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of $1.0 million.

(L)	Exclude $4.2 million of accrued and other current liabilities and $1.1 million of other long-term liabilities on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, for liabilities not assumed in the acquisition.

(M)

Record identified intangible assets for customer relationships of $19.3 million to long-term customer relationships, net on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

(N)

Record identified intangible assets for tradename of $0.4 million to other intangibles, net on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

(O)

Record a deferred maintenance liability in current liabilities for the assumed leased-fleet’s return-to-service obligations of $19.8 million to deferred aircraft maintenance on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. In connection with the Company’s acquisition the Company pre-negotiated accelerated timelines and return-to-service obligations with the lessors of EHI in exchange for obtaining consent for the transfer of the leases to the Company. These obligations are binding and therefore the related return-to-service costs are highly probable. The deferred maintenance costs were a result of cash constraints on EIA, which caused EHI to remove parts from the affected aircraft which were installed on other aircraft under contract.

(P)	Eliminate upon combination the Company’s investment in EHI and the equity of EHI for $296.4 million on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, as discussed in pro forma adjustments (A-1) through (A-10).

See pro forma adjustment (A-2) for the recording of depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million for the nine aircraft acquired by the Company. In total, pro forma adjustments (A-2) and (T) record depreciation and amortization expense of $2.1 million for all assets acquired by the Company on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The unused portion of the revolving line of credit is charged at 0.500% when the average availability is greater than $50.0 million. Assume the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used as outlined in pro forma adjustments (A-1) through (A-10) and the revolving undrawn line of credit is unused in its entirety for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
