PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS. THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES. BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT
DECISION, YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE "RISK
FACTORS" SECTION, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. SOME OF THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS PROSPECTUS DISCUSS FUTURE EVENTS
AND DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING OUR FUTURE BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OUR ABILITY TO
GENERATE REVENUE, INCOME AND CASH FLOW. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INVOLVE
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM THOSE CONTEMPLATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
OUR COMPANY
We are a development stage enterprise organized in 1990 to design,
develop, manufacture and market general aviation aircraft. For the first eleven
years of our existence, we sought to develop, and obtain an FAA Type Certificate
for, the Jetcruzer 500, a six seat, single engine turboprop aircraft based on a
canard design. At the end of 2001, we came to believe that an opportunity exists
in the general aviation industry today for the formation of a company, the
products of which would offer an alternative to business travel by airline for
executives of small to medium-sized businesses and high net worth individuals.
We believe this opportunity has resulted in part from the concurrence of the
following: (1) the reduction of product-liability exposure for general aviation
companies as a consequence of the passage of General Aviation Revitalization Act
of 1994, (2) the possible availability of several top of the line general
aviation product lines as a result of the recent recession and changes in
strategic direction by several general aviation aircraft manufacturers, and (3)
the deteriorating comfort and convenience of airline travel.
To take advantage of the current opportunity, we have hired a
management team with significant experience in turning around general aviation
manufacturing companies. The new management team has taken the first step in our
strategy by acquiring the assets of Mooney Aircraft Corporation ("MACorp").
MACorp has produced high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft for more
than 50 years. Our aircraft are currently recognized as the highest performance
piston engine aircraft in commercial production, and over 10,000 of our these
aircraft are in operation around the world. We plan to pursue the acquisition of
other complementary general aviation product lines and development programs as
they become available. Significant spending on the Jetcruzer program has been
suspended, and we will review how best to capitalize on the completed
development work.
We have not generated any operating revenues to date and have incurred
losses from our operating activities of $21,200,000 and $10,800,000 in 2001 and
2000, respectively, and $5,700,000 during the three-month period ended March 31,
2002. We believe we will continue to experience losses until such time as we
attain sales of our aircraft on a commercial scale.

NOTICE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
To the extent that the information presented in this prospectus
discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our business
plans, results of operations, products or markets, or otherwise makes statements
about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as "intends,"
"anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "expects,"
"plans," and "proposes." Although we believe that the expectations reflected in
these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are
a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from such forward-looking statements. These include, among others,
the cautionary statements in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus.
These cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements. When considering forward-looking statements in this prospectus, you
should keep in mind the cautionary statements in the "Risk Factors" section and
other sections of this prospectus.
2
RISK FACTORS
THIS INVESTMENT HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE YOU INVEST YOU SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER
INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IF ANY OF THE POSSIBLE EVENTS DESCRIBED BELOW AS
RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
COULD BE HARMED AND THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK COULD GO DOWN. THIS MEANS YOU COULD
LOSE ALL OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
PAYMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES ISSUED UNDER VARIOUS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS COULD
BE DEMANDED AT ANY TIME UNDER THE TERMS OF THE NOTES.
We did not register the shares issuable upon conversion within 30 days
of the closing date of the June 27, 2001, Subscription Agreement, or within 45
days of the closing date of the October 26, 2001 Subscription Agreements and the
January 30, 2002, Subscription Agreements, each of which is a non-registration
event and an event of default pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. In
accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the holders may
accelerate the notes and demand immediate repayment of all principal and
interest owed to the notes. We do not have sufficient cash to comply with a
demand for repayment of all the June 2001, October 2001 and January 2002 notes.
If the holders of the notes were to demand repayment of the principal and
interest under such notes, and we were unable to make such repayment, such
holders could take various actions to accomplish repayment, including, but not
limited to, foreclosure on our assets, virtually all of which were pledged as
security for the October 2001 Secured Convertible Notes. Any demand for
repayment of the notes would have a material adverse effect upon us and could
jeopardize our ability to continue our development efforts or to continue
operations. There are also liquidation damages due to the note holders as a
result of the non-registration event. Such damages are calculated from the date
of the non-registration event at an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount
issued for the first 30 days or part thereof, and then 2%, during the pendency
of the non-registration event.
Periodic interest payments are due on all outstanding notes issued
pursuant to the March 27, 2001 Subscription Agreement, the June 27, 2001
Subscription Agreement and the October 26, 2001 Subscription Agreement. The
interest payments became due approximately three months after the initial
issuance of the June 2001 notes and six months after the initial issuance of the
October notes, but have not been paid. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, the
holder has the right to call the notes due.
Our failure to continue the listing of our Class A Common Stock on
NASDAQ was a violation of the terms of our Secured Convertible Notes issued on
March 27, 2001 (the "March 2001 Secured Convertible Notes"). Pursuant to such
terms, the holders of the March 2001 Secured Convertible Notes may accelerate
the notes and demand immediate repayment of all principal and interest owed
pursuant to the notes.
We do not have sufficient cash to comply with a demand for repayment of
all the notes as described above. Any demand for immediate repayment of the
notes would have a material adverse effect upon us and could jeopardize our
ability to continue our development efforts or to continue operations. The
aggregate amount of the principal and interest due on these notes at March 31,
2002, was $2,636,000 for the March 27, 2001, notes; $1,210,000 for the June 27,
2001 note; $11,738,000 for the October 26, 2001, notes; $1,484,000 for the
January 30, 2002, notes issued pursuant to the October 26, 2001, Put Agreement;
and $2,307,000 for the January 30, 2002, notes. The aggregate amount of the
principal and interest due on all outstanding convertible notes is $19,375,000
as of March 31, 2002.
A DEMAND FOR THE IMMEDIATE REPAYMENT OF THE NOTES PAYABLE TO CONGRESS DUE TO ANY
DEFAULT IN PAYMENT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Under the terms of our agreements with Congress, we paid $8,000,000 to
acquire their position as a senior secured creditor in the Mooney Aircraft
Corporation bankruptcy. $3,500,000 of the purchase price was paid in cash and
$4,500,000 was paid in secured notes as follows: (1) a Secured Promissory Note
for $500,000, (2) a Secured Promissory Note for $2,500,000, and (3) a Secured
Promissory Note for $1,500,000, each due at various times with varying schedules
for interest payments and the repayment of principal. These notes are secured by
substantially all the assets acquired from Congress.
3
As additional security for our compliance with the fulfillment of our
obligations to Congress, we issued a Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note
for $5,700,000. This note is a contingent note, payable in the event that we
default under the payment terms of the other notes. The repayment of this note
is also secured by substantially all the assets acquired from Congress.
If sources of additional debt and/or financing are unavailable, we will
be unable to pay our obligations to Congress and will be in default on the
notes. Congress may then accelerate the notes and demand immediate repayment of
all principal and interest owed. We do not have sufficient cash to comply with a
demand for repayment of all the Congress notes. If Congress were to demand
repayment of the principal and interest under such notes, and we were unable to
make such repayment, Congress could take various actions to accomplish
repayment, including, but not limited to, foreclosure on our assets, virtually
all of which were pledged as security for the notes. Any demand for repayment of
the notes would have a material adverse effect upon us and could jeopardize our
ability to continue our development efforts or to continue operations.
RISK OF LOW-PRICE STOCKS.
Our Class A Common Stock is classified as a "penny stock" by the
Commission. This classification severely and adversely effects the market
liquidity for our Class A Common Stock. Commission regulations define a "penny
stock" to be any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than
$5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject
to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock,
of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both
the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for
the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing
recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information
on the limited market in penny stocks.
As a "penny stock" shares of our Class A Common Stock are subject
to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), which imposes additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers which sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with net worths in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouses). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must
make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the
purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction. Consequently, the rule may
adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and
may adversely affect the ability of holders of our securities to sell such
securities in the secondary market.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY; NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS; NO COMMERCIAL
OPERATIONS.
We are in the development stage and have not generated any operating
revenues. Potential investors should be aware of the problems, delays, expenses
and difficulties usually encountered by an enterprise in our stage of
development, many of which may be beyond our control. These include
unanticipated problems relating to initial and continuing regulatory compliance,
manufacturing costs, production and assembly, the competitive and regulatory
environment in which we plan to operate, marketing problems and additional costs
and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
WE HAVE ACCUMULATED A SUBSTANTIAL DEFICIT; WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES; WE
EXPECT SUBSTANTIAL FUTURE LOSSES.
To date, we have incurred significant losses. At March 31, 2002, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $92,400,000. We have incurred losses
from our operating activities of $21,200,000 and $10,800,000 in 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and $5,700,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002.
These losses have resulted principally from significant costs associated with
the development of the Jetcruzer 500. We expect to incur further losses due
to significant costs associated with manufacturing its aircraft, obtaining the
necessary regulatory approvals, and marketing and selling its aircraft. There
can be no assurance that sales of our aircraft will ever generate sufficient
revenues to fund our continuing operations, that we will generate positive cash
flow from our operations, or that we will attain or thereafter sustain
profitability in any future period.
4
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING.
We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete the
renovation of our facilities in Kerrville and restart the production of new
aircraft and spare parts. Failure to obtain such additional financing would have
a material adverse effect on our business and prospects and could require that
we severely limit or cease our operations. Additional financing may not be
available on acceptable terms or at all.
REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY.
We will need to obtain an FAA production certificate for the commercial
production of its aircraft and airworthiness certificates for individual
aircraft upon the completion of manufacture. We may not be able to obtain a
production certificate for its aircraft models, or airworthiness certificates
for individual aircraft, and therefore there can be no assurance that we will be
able to produce and sell aircraft.
Our aircraft will also be subject to the risk of modification,
suspension or revocation of any FAA certificate it may hold. A modification,
suspension, or revocation could occur if, in the FAA's judgment, compliance with
airworthiness or safety standards by us was in doubt. If the FAA were to suspend
or revoke our type or production certificate for an aircraft model, sales of
that model would be adversely affected or terminated. If, in the FAA's judgment,
an unsafe condition developed or was discovered after one or more of our
aircraft had entered service, the FAA could issue an Airworthiness Directive,
which could result in a requirement that we develop appropriate design changes
at our expense. Foreign authorities could impose similar obligations upon us as
to aircraft within their jurisdiction. Any or all of these occurrences could
expose us to substantial additional costs and/or liabilities.
LIMITED PRODUCT LINE; FLUCTUATIONS IN SALES OF AIRCRAFT.
If there is a downturn in the market for general aviation aircraft due
to economic, political or other reasons, we would not be able to rely on sales
of other products to offset the downturn. It is possible that sales of business
aircraft could decline in the future for reasons beyond our control.
Furthermore, if a potential purchaser is experiencing an economic downturn or is
for any other reason seeking to limit its capital expenditures, the high unit
selling price of a new aircraft may result in such potential purchaser deferring
its purchase or electing to purchase a pre-owned aircraft or a lower priced
aircraft. Further, since we intend to rely on the sale of a relatively small
number of high unit selling price aircraft to provide substantially all of its
revenue, small decreases in the number of aircraft delivered in any year may
have a material negative effect on the results of operations for that year. In
addition, small changes in the number and timing of deliveries of, and receipt
of payments on, new aircraft may have a material effect on our liquidity.
WE FACE NUMEROUS COMPETITORS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE GREATER RESOURCES.
Our aircraft will compete with other aircraft that have comparable
characteristics and capabilities. Many of our competitors, including Textron
(Cessna Aircraft Co.), Raytheon Aircraft Co. (Beechcraft) and New Piper Aircraft
Corp, are substantially larger in size and have far greater financial,
technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. Certain of our actual and
potential competitors have greater financial and other resources that may allow
them to modify existing aircraft or develop alternative new aircraft which could
compete with our aircraft, and these competitors may introduce such aircraft and
aircraft changes prior to the delivery of our first aircraft. Our ability to
compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these
competitors to devote greater resources to the sale and marketing of their
products than are available to us. Future technological advances may result in
competitive aircraft with improved characteristics and capabilities that could
adversely affect our business. Our aircraft may also compete with used aircraft
which become available in the resale market at prices sufficiently lower to
offset deficits in performance, if any, as compared to our aircraft.
5
RELIANCE ON SINGLE SOURCE SUPPLIERS.
We will be dependent on certain suppliers of products in order to
manufacture its aircraft. Should our ability to obtain the requisite components
be limited for any lengthy period of time or the cost of the components
increase, our ability to produce and sell aircraft could be materially and
adversely affected. Securing acceptable pricing and terms from suppliers of the
bankrupt MACorp may be difficult because of financial difficulties caused by
that bankruptcy and damage to the reputation of MACorp as a customer. In
addition, the possible failure of suppliers or subcontractors to meet our
performance specifications, quality standards or delivery standards or schedules
could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Moreover, our ability to
significantly increase our production rate could be limited by the ability or
willingness of key suppliers to increase their delivery rates. When we are ready
to begin the manufacture of our aircraft, the prices to obtain materials and
components may have changed and a number of suppliers may need to be replaced.
Our inability to obtain supplies to manufacture our products would have a
material adverse effect on our business prospects, operations and financial
condition.
AVAILABILITY OF A SKILLED WORKFORCE.
We are dependent on recalling the skilled workforce that was employed
by the MACorp, in order to manufacture its aircraft. Should our ability to
obtain the requisite skilled employees be limited for any lengthy period of time
or the cost of these skilled individuals increase, our ability to produce and
sell aircraft could be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, our ability
to significantly increase our production rate could be limited by the
availability of sufficient numbers of craftsmen in manufacturing, assembly,
finishing, engineering, quality control, sales and product support. Our
inability to obtain sufficient numbers of skilled workers in a number of
critical areas would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects,
operations and financial condition.
INSURANCE AND PRODUCT LIABILITY EXPOSURE.
Because the failure of an aircraft manufactured by us or any other
mishap involving such an aircraft may result in physical injury or death to the
occupants of the aircraft or others, we could be subject to lawsuits involving
product liability claims, which lawsuits may involve claims for substantial
sums. Although we have obtained product liability insurance, such insurance is
expensive and subject to various coverage exclusions and may not be obtainable
by us in the future on acceptable terms or at all. Further, should we become
involved in product liability litigation, the expenses and damages awarded could
be large, and the scope of any coverage may be inadequate. Increased insurance
costs and/or liability costs could require an increase in the price of our
aircraft and therefore could have a negative impact on sales.
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.
We expect to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the
sale of a relatively small number of aircraft. As a result, a small reduction in
the number of aircraft shipped in a quarter due to, for example, unanticipated
shipment reschedulings or cancellations, supplier delays in the delivery of
component parts or unexpected manufacturing difficulties, could have a material
and adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations for that
quarter.
RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.
We intend to market and sell our aircraft to foreign customers.
Accordingly, we will be subject to all of the risks inherent in international
operations, including work stoppages, transportation delays and interruptions,
political instability or conflict between countries in which we may do business,
foreign currency fluctuations, economic disruptions, differences in
airworthiness and certification standards imposed by foreign authorities, the
imposition of tariffs and import and export controls, changes in governmental
policies (including United States trade policy) and other factors, including
other foreign laws and regulations, which could have an adverse effect on our
business. With respect to international sales that are denominated in U.S.
dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign
currencies can increase the effective price of, and reduce demand for, our
products relative to competitive products priced in the local currency. These
international trade factors may, under certain circumstances, materially and
adversely impact demand for our products or our ability to sell aircraft in
particular countries or deliver products in a timely manner or at a competitive
price, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our relationships with its
customers. In addition, foreign certification or equivalent approval is required
prior to importing an aircraft into a foreign country, and we may not receive
such certification or equivalent approval in any country. Our success will
depend in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain foreign certifications or
equivalent approvals and manage international marketing, sales and service
operations.
6
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL.
The results of our operations will depend in large part on the skills
and efforts of Roy Norris, our President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
and, to a lesser extent, on the skills and efforts of Dale Ruhmel, Executive
Vice President of Manufacturing and Engineering, Peter Larson, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, Nelson Happy, Executive Vice President
and General Counsel, and Nicolas Chabbert, Executive Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on our ability
to hire certain other key employees on a timely basis. Competition for highly
skilled business, product development, technical and other personnel is intense,
and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in recruiting new
personnel or in retaining our existing personnel. We will experience increased
costs in order to retain and attract skilled employees. Mooney's failure to
attract additional qualified employees on a timely basis or to retain the
services of key personnel would have a material adverse effect on our operating
results and financial condition.
RISKS OF PLANNED GROWTH.
We plan to significantly expand our operations during 2002, which could
place a significant strain on our limited personnel, financial and other
resources. We intend to reestablish the manufacturing capabilities of our Mooney
subsidiary and recommence commercial manufacture of Mooney aircraft. Our efforts
to conduct manufacturing activities may not be successful, and we may not be
able to satisfy commercial scale production requirements on a timely and
cost-effective basis. Our ability to manage this growth, should it occur, would
require significant expansion of our engineering, production, marketing and
sales capabilities and personnel. We may not be able to find qualified personnel
to fill additional engineering, production, and sales and marketing positions or
be able to manage a larger sales and marketing organization successfully. We
also intend to seek to acquire additional aircraft product lines which will
place additional demands on our limited resources.
CONTROL BY INSIDERS; OWNERSHIP OF SHARES HAVING DISPROPORTIONATE VOTING RIGHTS.
Sam Rothman and C.M. Cheng, both Directors of our Company, beneficially
own, or have voting control over, shares of our capital stock representing a
significant portion of the total voting power of our Company. Accordingly, they
will continue to be able to have a significant influence over the election of
our directors and thereby influence the direction of our policies for the
foreseeable future. Furthermore, the disproportionate vote afforded the shares
of Class B Common Stock and Class E Common Stock could also serve to impede or
prevent a change of control of our Company. As a result, potential acquirers may
be discouraged from seeking to acquire control of Mooney through the purchase of
Class A Common Stock, which could have a depressive effect on the market price
of our securities.
LIMITATION ON OFFICERS' AND DIRECTORS' LIABILITIES UNDER DELAWARE LAW.
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, and as authorized under
applicable Delaware law, our directors and officers are not liable for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except (i) in connection with a breach of
the duty of loyalty, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for dividend
payments or stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or (iv) for any
transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit. These
provisions may limit the ability of our stockholders to obtain damages from our
directors, either directly or on a derivative basis, for breach of fiduciary
duty.
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK; ANTI-TAKEOVER
PROVISIONS; ENHANCED VOTING POWER OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK AND CLASS E COMMON
STOCK.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum
of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock on terms which may be fixed by our Board
of Directors without stockholder action. The terms of any series of preferred
stock, which may include priority claims to assets and dividends and special
voting rights, could adversely affect the rights of holders of the Class A
Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could make a possible takeover or
the removal of our management more difficult, discourage hostile bids or control
of our Company in which stockholders may receive premiums for their shares of
Class A Common Stock or otherwise dilute the rights of holders of Class A Common
Stock. In addition, we are subject to Delaware General Corporation Law
provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain
changes of control. Furthermore, the disproportionate vote afforded the Class B
Common Stock and Class E Common Stock could also serve to impede or prevent a
change in control of our Company.
7
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Future sales of common stock by existing stockholders pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or
otherwise, could have an adverse effect on the price of our securities. As of
July 11, 2002, Mooney had outstanding 71,675,731 shares of Class A Common Stock,
debentures issued under various agreements convertible into 134,849,874 shares
of Class A Common Stock, warrants issued under various agreements for 70,895,424
shares of Class A Common Stock, 10,400,000 Class A Warrants and 6,900,000 Class
B Warrants (excluding the 10,400,000 Class B Warrants issuable upon the exercise
of the Class A Warrants), 38,647 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 1,013,572
shares of Class B Common Stock, and 8,000,000 shares of Class E Common Stock.
The Class A and Class B Warrants have been extended until August 31, 2002. The
shares of Class E Common Stock are not currently transferable and are subject to
redemption by us for a nominal consideration if we do not meet certain income
levels, and are convertible into Class B Common Stock if we do meet such levels.
Sales of Class A Common Stock, or the possibility of such sales, in the public
market may adversely affect the market price of the securities offered hereby.
OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET.
Our Class A Common Stock was delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market in
April 2001, and it is now traded through the NASD's "Electronic Bulletin Board."
Consequently, the liquidity of our securities has been impacted, not only by the
number of securities which can be bought and sold, but also through delays in
the timing of the transactions, reductions in the number and quality of security
analysts' and the news media's coverage of us, and lower prices for our
securities than might otherwise be attained.
NO DIVIDENDS.
We have paid no dividends to our stockholders since its inception and
does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest
earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business.
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE MAY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES.
The stock market from time to time experiences significant price and
volume fluctuations, some of which are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. We believe that a number of factors can cause the price of
our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. These factors include,
among others:
-- Announcements of financial results and other developments
relating to our business;
-- Changes in the general state of the economy; and
-- Changes in market analyst estimates and recommendations for
our common stock.
Significant downward fluctuations of the price of our stock may
substantially increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and convertible notes as a
result of the conversion formula, which is tied to the market price of the
common stock. The consequences of decreases in the common stock price are more
fully discussed below under the risk factors set forth below.
THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF PREFERRED
STOCK MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS' INTERESTS AND
EXERT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Significant dilution of existing stockholders' interests may occur if
we issue additional shares of common stock underlying outstanding shares of
preferred stock. As of July 11, 2002, we had 38,647 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock outstanding. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock would increase if the market price of our Common
Stock decreases, as such conversion is based on a formula pegged to the market
price of the Class A Common Stock. The formula provides, specifically, that the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of one share of
Series A Preferred Stock is calculated as $100 (plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends on such share) divided by the conversion price. The conversion price
is equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the average of the closing bid price of
the common stock on the last three trading days before the date of initial
issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (2) 90% of the average of the
eight lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the last 180 trading
days before the date of conversion. Therefore, there is a possibility that the
Series A Preferred Stock may convert to Class A Common Stock at a rate which may
be below the prevailing market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of
conversion.
8
The exact number of shares of common stock into which the Series A
Preferred Stock may ultimately be convertible will vary over time as the result
of ongoing changes in the trading price of our common stock. Decreases in the
trading price of our common stock would result in increases in the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
The following consequences could result:
-- If the market price of our common stock declines, thereby
proportionately increasing the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock, an increasing downward pressure on the market price of
the common stock might result (sometimes referred to as a
downward "spiral" effect).
-- The dilution caused by conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
and sale of the underlying shares could also cause downward
pressure on the market price of the common stock.
-- Once downward pressure is placed on the market price of our
stock, the pressure could encourage short sales by holders of
Series A Preferred Stock and others, thus placing further
downward pressure in the price of the common stock.
-- The conversion of Series A Preferred Stock would dilute the
book value and earnings per share of common stock held by our
existing stockholders.
THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE
NOTES MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS' INTERESTS AND
EXERT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Significant dilution of existing stockholders' interests may occur if
we issue additional shares of common stock underlying outstanding shares of
convertible notes. As of July 11, 2002, we had $23,506,225 in aggregate
principal amount of convertible notes outstanding. The number of shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes would increase if
the market price of our Common Stock decreases, as such conversion is based on a
formula pegged to the market price of the Class A Common Stock. The formula
provides, specifically, that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the notes is calculated by dividing the
aggregate principal amount outstanding by the conversion price. For certain
notes, the conversion price is, at the option of the holder (1) 80% of the
average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the
last 60 trading days before the date of conversion or (2) $0.25. For other
notes, the conversion price is, at the option of the holder (1) 70% of the
average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the
last 30 trading days before the date of conversion or (2) $0.35. Therefore, it
is likely that the notes may convert to common stock at a rate which is below
the prevailing market price of the common stock at the time of conversion.
The exact number of shares of common stock into which the notes may
ultimately be convertible will vary over time as the result of ongoing changes
in the trading price of our common stock. Decreases in the trading price of our
common stock would result in increases in the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the notes. The following consequences could result:
-- If the market price of our common stock declines, thereby
proportionately increasing the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, an increasing
downward pressure on the market price of the common stock
might result (sometimes referred to as a downward "spiral"
effect).
-- The dilution caused by conversion of notes and sale of the
underlying shares could also cause downward pressure on the
market price of the common stock.
-- Once downward pressure is placed on the market price of our
stock, the pressure could encourage short sales by holders of
notes and others, thus placing further downward pressure in
the price of the common stock.
-- The conversion of notes would dilute the book value and
earnings per share of common stock held by our existing
stockholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of shares
underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, the secured convertible notes, the
convertible notes or the warrants or any of the outstanding shares, the resale
of which is registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. Additional amounts may be received if the warrants to
purchase Class A Common Stock issued under various agreements are exercised
without the use of any applicable cashless exercise provision.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
Our Class A Common Stock is listed for trading on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the symbol "MASG." The following table sets forth the
range of high and low last sale prices per share for the Class A Common Stock as
quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, for the periods indicated.

At May 23, 2002, there were approximately 197 holders of record of our
Class A Common Stock; 4 holders of record of our Class B Common Stock; 5 holders
of record of our Class E-1 Common Stock and 6 holders of record of our Class E-2
Common Stock. We believe that there are significant numbers of beneficial owners
of our Class A Common Stock whose shares are held in "street name."
We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not
anticipate that we will do so in the near future. Our present policy is to
retain earnings to finance the development of our operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OUR PLAN OF OPERATIONS SHOULD
BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES. THIS
PROSPECTUS CONTAINS 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 WHICH ARE BASED UPON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES, SUCH AS OUR PLANS, OBJECTIVES, EXPECTATIONS AND INTENTIONS. OUR
ACTUAL RESULTS AND THE TIMING OF CERTAIN EVENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM
THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN
FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER "RISK FACTORS," "BUSINESS" AND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. SEE "RISK FACTORS."
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
report.
GENERAL
Since 1990, we have been a development-stage enterprise organized to
design, develop, manufacture and market aircraft intended primarily for
business, corporate and government use and have been engaged principally in
research and development of our proposed aircraft. We began our operations in
Burbank, California.
We have hired a management team with significant experience in turning
around general aviation manufacturing companies to take advantage of current
opportunities. The new management team instituted a technical review of the
Jetcruzer 500 program. Based on this review, the new management team concluded
that the Jetcruzer 500 was not likely to achieve its design objectives at a
commercially-reasonable cost. Accordingly, significant spending on the Jetcruzer
program was suspended, and we will review how best to capitalize on the
completed development work.
On February 8, 2002, we announced we had purchased Congress Financial
Corporation's ("Congress") position as senior secured creditor for Mooney
Aircraft Corporation of Kerrville, Texas ("MACorp"). On February 6th, the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in San Antonio, Texas, approved an operating agreement which
allowed us to manage MACorp until a plan of reorganization was approved. The
Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of substantially all of the MACorp assets to
us on March 18, 2002, and on April 24, 2002 we completed the MACorp asset
acquisition.
MACorp has been the world's leading supplier of high performance single
engine general aviation aircraft primarily serving the business and owner-flown
markets. MACorp has produced over 10,000 aircraft since its founding in 1947 and
presently has over 8,000 aircraft in operation in the U.S. alone. We have
acquired substantially all of MACorp's assets and intend to return the Mooney
aircraft line to full production. The former MACorp assets are held by our
wholly-owned subsidiary named Mooney Airplane Company, Inc. ("Subsidiary"). We
formally changed our name to Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd. following our Annual
Meeting of Shareholders held on July 22, 2002.
We believe the acquisition of MACorp's assets is the first step in our
strategy to become a leading supplier of piston, turboprop and light jet
aircraft for the business and owner-flown general aviation markets. It is our
intention to accomplish this objective through both the acquisition of existing
high quality general aviation product lines and the development of revolutionary
new aircraft models. Our goals are to create a dynamic new general aviation
company, return Mooney to full production and create substantial potential for
earnings growth for us and our stockholders.
When we commence the commercial sale of our aircraft, we will derive a
substantial portion of our revenues from the sale of a relatively small number
of aircraft. As a result, a small reduction in the number of aircraft shipped in
a quarter could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and
results of operations for that quarter. Our policy is to collect progress
payments during the construction of aircraft and final payments upon the
delivery of aircraft. Construction or delivery delays near the end of a
particular quarter due to, for example, shipment rescheduling, delays in the
delivery of component parts or unexpected manufacturing difficulties, could
cause the financial results of the quarter to fall significantly below our
expectations and could materially and adversely affect our financial position
and results of operations for the quarter.
11
During 2002 and 2003, we intend to focus our efforts on the following
events:
o The restoration to full production of Mooney's manufacturing
line in Kerrville, Texas.
o Enhancement and aggressive implementation of Mooney's
marketing program.
o Analysis and appropriate acquisition of other existing general
aviation products that will allow us to offer a wide variety
of products designed to meet potential customers' aviation
needs.
We have entered into three-year employment agreements with Roy Norris,
President, Chairman and CEO; Peter Larson, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer; Dale Ruhmel, Executive Vice President of Engineering and
Operations and J. Nelson Happy, Executive Vice-President and General Counsel, on
similar terms. The majority of their compensation was designed to reward
performance. Over the three-year period they will vest in ownership of five
percent, three percent, two percent and three percent, respectively, of our
outstanding shares and all receive annual salaries of $200,000 plus
reimbursement of expenses. We have also entered into a three-year employment
agreement with Nicolas Chabbert, Executive Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. Mr. Chabbert will receive an annual salary of $150,000, 300,000 stock
options with an exercise price of $0.20 and a bonus based upon the number of
airplanes sold and delivered.
We have not generated any operating revenues to date and have incurred
losses from our operating activities of $21,200,000 and $10,800,000 in 2001 and
2000, respectively, and $5,700,000 during the three-month period ended March 31,
2002. We believe we will continue to experience losses until such time as we
attain sales of our aircraft on a commercial scale.
Our current cash balance, including the additional funding obtained
subsequent to March 31, 2002 described elsewhere (see "Liquidity and Capital
Resources"), has been sufficient to finance our plan of operations and
acquisitions to date. Additional funding will be required, either through
additional stock issuances or debt financing. If sources of financing are
unavailable, we will have to curtail our plans and will be unable to pay our
obligations to Congress.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain
operating amounts and results.

============== ============== ================ =================
12
We have not generated any revenues from operations. Our losses have
resulted primarily from expenditures made in connection with the research and
development of the Jetcruzer aircraft and general and administrative activities.
We have decided to suspend the expenditure of substantial sums on the Jetcruzer
500 program. We are considering several options for the program which include a
restart of the Jetcruzer program at a later date, use of Jetcruzer flight and
test data to launch a new development activity and the sale of the program to
another company.
Interest income consisted primarily of earnings derived from the unused
proceeds of the 1999 sale and leaseback of our 200,000 square foot building.
Interest income aggregated $2,858,000 from inception through March 31, 2002,
$75,000, $37,000, and $3,000 was earned in the years ended 2000 and 2001, and
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, respectively.
Research and development expenses have consisted primarily of the costs
of personnel, facilities, materials and equipment required to conduct our
development activities. Such expenses aggregated $47,159,000 from inception
through March 31, 2002. These expenses were incurred to develop the Jetcruzer
450, to obtain a type certificate for the Jetcruzer 450, and to design and
develop the Jetcruzer 500. Research and development expenses amounted to
$7,630,000 in 2001 as we accelerated the development of the Jetcruzer 500. In
the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, research and development expenses
decreased to $1,661,000 as a consequence of the suspension of the Jetcruzer 500
program.
General and administrative expenses have consisted primarily of
administrative salaries and benefits, rent, marketing expenses, insurance and
other administrative costs. Such expenses aggregated $28,387,000 from inception
through March 31, 2002, $3,543,000 and $4,815,000 of which were incurred in 2000
and 2001, respectively. Through the three-month period ended March 31, 2002,
$2,151,000 of general and administrative expenses were incurred. The increases
in 2002 were primarily due to salary expenses, travel expenses, and legal
expenses related to financing and acquisition activities.
Non-recurring expenses, which were incurred in the year ended December
31, 2001, consist of the following: a write-off of capitalized tooling costs of
approximately $2,082,000; a write-off of capitalized engineering software of
approximately $723,000; and an accrual of approximately $1,018,000 related to
special orders out at certain vendors. We believe both the
capitalized tooling and software have no future use to us due to the change in
our business strategy and the suspension of activities related to our previous
major product, the Jetcruzer 500. The accrual to vendors represents costs
incurred by vendors in the production of items specifically related to the
Jetcruzer 500 with no alternative saleable value to the vendors.
Interest expense has consisted primarily of interest expended by us for
bank and private financing, including the amortization of debt issue costs and
discounts on convertible debentures. Interest expense aggregated $11,155,000
from inception through March 31, 2002, $938,000, $4,969,000 and $1,903,000 of
which were incurred in 2000, 2001, and for the three-month period ended March
31, 2002, respectively.
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." We have incurred
net losses in each year since our inception and consequently have paid no
federal or state income taxes.
At March 31, 2002, we had federal and California state tax net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $76,774,000 and $29,240,000,
respectively, which, if unused, will expire in varying amounts in the years 2002
through 2021. Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to offset
future taxable income may be limited annually if there is a substantial change
of control of Mooney. We can give no assurance as to the amount of the net
operating loss carryforwards that will be available in future years.
At March 31, 2002, we had federal and California state research and
development ("R&D") credit carryforwards of approximately $1,356,000 and
$542,000, respectively. The federal R&D credit carryforwards will expire in the
years 2004 through 2009. The state R&D credit carryforwards can be carried
forward indefinitely.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2002, we had working capital of $2,679,000 and a
stockholders' deficiency of $2,846,000. Since our inception in January 1990, we
have experienced continuing negative cash flows from operations, which have
resulted in our inability to pay certain existing liabilities in a timely
manner. We have financed our operations, which have mainly focused on research
and development, through private funding of equity and debt and through the
proceeds generated from our December 1996 initial public offering. Since our
inception, our investing activities have been limited to construction of our
manufacturing facility and tooling required to commence production of the
Jetcruzer 500. Currently, our investing activities have been limited to minimal
capital expenditures and the investment of funds until such funds are needed for
operating activities. Our investing activities will substantially increase as a
consequence of the acquisition of MACorp and commencement of production at
MACorp's facilities.
We expect to continue to incur losses until such time as we commence
our production processes and regain market acceptance of our aircraft at selling
prices and volumes which provide adequate gross profit to cover operating costs
and generate positive cash flow. Our working capital requirements will depend
upon numerous factors, including the level of resources devoted to the scale-up
of manufacturing and the establishment of sales and marketing.
Our management team has developed a financial plan to address our
working capital shortfall and to increase the cash provided by financing
activities which we believe will substantially improve our ability to meet our
working capital requirements throughout the current year. On March 6, 2000, we
entered into a series of subscription agreements for the sale of up to
$10,000,000 of 5% Cumulative Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, from which we
have received net proceeds of $8,265,000 to date.
On March 27, 2001, we consummated an agreement with certain investors
to provide $4,126,000 through secured convertible debentures. Under the same
agreement, an additional $1,000,000 was provided on July 25, 2001, with the
remaining $2,000,000 to be provided at a later date. Warrants to purchase
10,254,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.24 to $0.45
were issued under this agreement. On June 27, 2001, we obtained new financing of
$1,000,000 by issuing an unsecured convertible debenture with warrants to
purchase 2,646,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.22. All of
these debentures bear interest at a rate of 5% and are convertible into common
stock at the lesser of $0.25 or 80% of the three lowest closing prices for sixty
trading days prior to the conversion. The term of the debentures and warrants is
five years. All issuances were to accredited investors, as defined by Regulation
D rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933. Substantially all of our assets have been pledged as collateral to
secure the repayment of the secured debentures.
On October 26, 2001, we received an initial $7,405,000 in net proceeds
from a private placement offering of 8% Secured Convertible Notes along with
warrants to purchase 17,714,000 shares of common stock. The notes were issued in
the principal amount of $7,750,000, less approximately $1,100,000 already
advanced by the note holders prior to the closing date. Both the maturity date
of the notes and the expiration date of the warrants is October 26, 2006. The
first 50% of the warrants may be exercised at a price of $0.25 and the remaining
50% may be exercised at $0.30. In conjunction with this private placement, we
entered into a Put Agreement with a group of its investors who hold convertible
notes and preferred stock, some of whom participated in the private placement.
The Put Agreement provided us with an option to sell up to an additional
$5,000,000 of convertible notes and warrants. Our right to exercise our option
under the Put Agreement expires October 25, 2002. Through July 30, 2002, we had
issued $1,329,000 in notes under the Put Agreement.
We failed to comply with registration obligations arising out of the
June 27, 2001 and October 26, 2001 financings. In accordance with the terms of
the applicable Subscription Agreements, we have accrued $134,000 at March 31,
2002, representing liquidated damages due to the note holders as a result of
these non-registration events. Such damages are calculated at an amount equal to
1% of the principal amount issued for the first 30 days or part thereof, and 2%
thereafter, during the pendency of the non-registration event.
On February 27, 2002, we completed three financing transactions for
total proceeds of $5,734,000 and incurred financing costs of $184,000 paid from
the proceeds and $474,650 issued in convertible notes. The net proceeds for
these transactions were used to make the cash payment to Congress described
below and to fund current operations. In the first of the three financing
transactions we issued $2,250,000 in 8% Secured Convertible Notes. The notes are
convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock at a conversion price of
$0.35 or 70% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for our
common stock for the thirty days prior to conversion. The maturity date of the
notes is October 26, 2006. Attached to the notes were warrants to purchase
5,143,000 shares of our common stock. Forty-five days following the closing, 50%
of the warrants became exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share and the
remaining warrants became exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share. The
expiration date of the warrants is January 30, 2007.
14
In the second of the three financing transactions, we issued $1,329,000
in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes pursuant to the October 26, 2001 Put
Agreement. The notes are convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock
under the same terms as the October 26, 2001 private placement, except that
there is no security involved. The maturity date of the notes is October 26,
2006. Issued with the notes were warrants to purchase 3,037,000 shares of our
common stock. The warrants became exercisable forty-five days after the date of
issuance on the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the
October 26, 2001 private placement.
In the third of the three financing transactions, we issued $2,155,000
in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes. The notes are convertible after 120 days into
shares of common stock on the same terms as the October 26, 2001 private
placement. The maturity date of the notes is October 26, 2006. Issued with the
notes were warrants to purchase 4,926,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock.
The warrants became exercisable forty-five days after the date of issuance on
the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26, 2001
private placement.
On March 26, 2002, we issued $1,450,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible
Notes. The notes are convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock on
the same terms as the October 26, 2001 private placement. The maturity date of
the notes is October 26, 2006. Issued with the notes were warrants to purchase
3,314,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. The warrants became exercisable
forty-five days after the date of issuance on under the same terms as the
warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26, 2001 private placement.
On April 11, 2002, we issued $950,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible
Notes. The notes are convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock on
the same terms as the October 26, 2001 private placement. The maturity date of
the notes is October 26, 2006. Issued with the notes were warrants to purchase
1,900,000 shares of common stock. The warrants became exercisable forty-five
days after the date of issuance on the same terms as the warrants issued in
conjunction with the October 26, 2001, private placement.
On May 16, 2002, we issued $730,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes
under a new subscription agreement. The notes are convertible after 120 into
shares of common stock under terms similar to the October 26, 2001 private
settlement. The maturity date of the notes is May 16, 2007. Issued with the
notes were warrants to purchase 1,460,000 shares of common stock. The warrants
became exercisable forty-five days after the date of issuance under terms
similar to the warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26, 2001 private
placement.
On June 6, 2002, we issued $325,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes
under the same agreement as those issued on May 16, 2002. The notes are
convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock under the same terms as
the May 16, 2002 private placement. The maturity date of the notes is June 6,
2007. Issued with the notes were warrants to purchase 650,000 shares of common
stock. The warrants became exercisable forty-five days after the date of
issuance on the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the May
16, 2002 private placement.
On June 10, 2002, we issued $500,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes
under the same agreement as those issued on May 16, 2002. The notes are
convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock on the same terms as the
May 16, 2002 private placement. The maturity date of the notes is June 10, 2007.
Issued with the notes were warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common
stock. The warrants became exercisable forty-five days after the date of
issuance on the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the May
16, 2002 private placement.
On June 18, 2002 we issued $350,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes
under the same agreement as those issued on May 16, 2002. The notes are
convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock on the same terms as the
May 16, 2002 private placement. The maturity date of the notes is June 18, 2007.
Issued with the notes were warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock.
The warrants became exercisable forty-five days after the date of issuance on
the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the May 16, 2002
private placement.
On June 28, 2002 we issued $2,000,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes
under the same agreement as those issued on May 16, 2002. The notes are
convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock on the same terms as the
May 16, 2002 private placement. The maturity date of the notes is June 28, 2007.

The warrants became exercisable forty-five days after the date of issuance on
the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the May 16, 2002
private placement.
Under the terms of our agreements with Congress, we paid $8,000,000
toacquire its position as the senior secured creditor of Mooney Aircraft
Corporation. $3,500,000 of the purchase price was paid in cash and $4,500,000
was paid in secured notes as follows: (1) a Secured Promissory Note for
$500,000, (2) a Secured Promissory Note for $2,500,000, and (3) a Secured
Promissory Note for $1,500,000, each due at various times with varying schedules
for interest payments and the repayment of principal. These notes are secured by
substantially all the assets acquired from Congress.
As additional security for the fulfillment of our obligations to
Congress, we issued a Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note for $5,700,000.
This note is a contingent note, payable in the event that we default under the
payment terms of the other notes. Payment of this note is also secured by
substantially all the assets acquired from Congress.
While there is no assurance that additional financing will be
available, we believe that we have developed a financial plan that, if executed
successfully, will substantially improve our ability to meet our working capital
requirements throughout the current year. We are currently pursuing other
financing to ensure that we have sufficient funds through the next twelve
months. Our current cash balance including the additional funding obtained
subsequent to March 31, 2002 described above has been sufficient to finance our
plan of operations and acquisitions to date. Additional funding will be required
and is expected, either through additional stock issuances or debt financing. If
sources of financing are unavailable, we will have to curtail our plans and will
be unable to pay our obligations to Congress.
In November 1998 we moved into our manufacturing and headquarters
facility. The primary financing for this project was our obligation under a loan
agreement related to proceeds of $8,500,000 in the issuance of Industrial
Development Bonds ("IDB") by the California Economic Development Financing
Authority (the "Authority"). We were required to provide cash collateral to the
Sumitomo Bank, Limited (the "Bank") in the amount of $8,500,000 for a stand-by
letter of credit in favor of the holders of the IDBs which was to expire on
August 5, 2002, if not terminated earlier by us or the Bank. The IDBs were
retired in 1999 and the stand-by letter of credit in favor of the holders of the
IDBs was terminated by us.
In June 1999, we sold our 200,000 square-foot building to The Abbey
Company and leased it back. The sale price of the building was $9,800,000, and
the term of the lease is eighteen years plus an option to extend the lease for
an additional ten years. Monthly payments under the terms of our current lease
are approximately $119,620 and escalate annually through June 1, 2007, and will
be adjusted annually beginning June 1, 2009, for changes in the Consumer Price
Index. The rent for the option period after the eighteenth year would be at fair
market rental value.
15
We lease approximately 10 acres of land located on the Long Beach
Airport in Long Beach, California. The lease commenced on October 20, 1997, and
has a term of 30 years with an option to renew for an additional 10 years. The
current monthly rent is $15,600. We had no material capital commitments at
December 31, 2001, other than as discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. We
intend to hire a number of additional employees, and the wages and benefits paid
to these employees prior to such time, if ever, as we attain profitability, will
require substantial additional capital resources.
We anticipate that we will hire up to 200 employees over the next
twelve months, including engineers and manufacturing technicians necessary to
produce our aircraft.
SEASONALITY
We believe our business is not seasonal.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations discusses
our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. When we prepare these
financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related
to investments, long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, other liabilities and
revenue recognition. We base our estimates and judgments on historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial
statements. (See Note 3 of the Notes to audited Financial Statements as of
December 31, 2001 for our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.)
DEFERRED TAXES
We record a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred-tax assets to
the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider future
taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Should we
determine that we are able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future, an
adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such
determination was made.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We defer the recognition of revenue from deposits collected on airplane
orders until such time as production commences. As the production process
commences, deposits collected on sales orders will be recorded as income.
OTHER LIABILITIES
During fiscal year 2001, we recorded an estimate of the liability for
cancelled special orders for manufacturing equipment and inventory for the
Jetcruzer resulting from our actions. Although we do not expect significant
changes, the actual costs may differ from these estimates.
VALUATION OF CERTAIN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
We currently classify our investment securities as available-for-sale
securities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, such securities are measured at fair
market value in the financial statements with unrealized gains or losses
recorded in other comprehensive income until the securities are sold. However, a
decline in the fair market value below cost that is other than temporary is
accounted for as a realized loss.
16
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS
No. 144 whenever significant events or changes occur which might impair the
recovery of recorded costs. Because of the significant delays of the
commencement and production of the Jetcruzer 500, we have written off tooling
and software assets based upon the estimated market value of those assets.
CONVERSION OF PERFORMANCE SHARES
If we attain certain earnings thresholds, our Class E Common Stock will
be converted into Class B Common Stock. In the event any such converted Class E
Common Stock is held by officers, directors, employees or consultants, the
maximum compensation expense recorded for financial reporting purposes will be
an amount equal to the fair value of the shares converted at the time of such
conversion, which value cannot be predicted at this time. Therefore, if we
attain such earnings thresholds, we may recognize a substantial charge to
earnings during the period in which such conversion occurs, which would have the
effect of increasing our loss or reducing or eliminating our earnings, if any,
at that time. In the event we do not attain these earnings thresholds, and no
conversion occurs, no compensation expense will be recorded for financial
reporting purpose.
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We are a development stage enterprise organized in 1990 to design,
develop, manufacture and market general aviation aircraft. We began development
of the Jetcruzer 450 in 1990. The Jetcruzer 450 is a non-pressurized,
single-engine aircraft powered by a Pratt & Whitney propjet engine which
obtained FAA Type Certificate approval in 1994. We later decided to amend the
Type Certificate to develop a stretched and pressurized version of the 450
called the Jetcruzer 500 for commercial sale. Research and development expenses
increased in 2001 as we accelerated the development of the Jetcruzer 500.
At the end of 2001, we came to believe that an opportunity exists in
the general aviation industry today for the formation of a new company, the
products of which would offer an alternative to business travel by airline for
executives of small to medium-sized businesses and high net worth individuals.
We believe this opportunity has resulted in part from the concurrence of the
following: (1) the reduction of product-liability exposure as a consequence of
the passage of General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994, (2) the possible
availability of several top of the line general aviation product lines as a
result of the recent recession and changes in strategic direction by several
general aviation aircraft manufacturers, and (3) the deteriorating comfort and
convenience of airline travel.
To take advantage of the current opportunity, we have hired a
management team with significant experience in turning around general aviation
manufacturing companies. The new management team has taken the first step in our
strategy by acquiring the assets of MACorp. MACorp has produced
high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft for more than 50 years.
Our aircraft are currently recognized as the highest performance
piston engine aircraft in commercial production, and over 10,000 of our aircraft
are in operation around the world. We plan to pursue the acquisition of other
complementary general aviation product lines and development programs as they
become available.
The new management team also instituted a technical review of the
Jetcruzer 500 program. Based on this review, the new management team concluded
that the Jetcruzer 500 was not likely to achieve its design objectives at a
commercially-reasonable cost. Accordingly, significant spending on the Jetcruzer
program was suspended, and we will review how best to capitalize on the
completed development work.
17
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
The general aviation industry comprises essentially all nonmilitary
aviation activity other than scheduled and commercial airlines licensed by the
FAA and the Department of Transportation. General aviation aircraft are
frequently classified by their type and number of engines and include aircraft
with fewer than 20 seats. There are three different types of engines: piston,
propjet and turbofan (jet). Piston aircraft use an internal combustion engine to
drive a propeller, and there may be one or two engines and propellers. Propjet
aircraft combine a jet turbine powerplant with a propeller geared to the main
shaft of the turbine, and there may be one or two engines and propellers.
Turbofan aircraft use jet propulsion to power the aircraft.
Purchasers of general aviation aircraft include corporations,
governments, the military, the general public and fractional interest entities.
A corporation may purchase a general aviation aircraft for transporting its
employees and property. Many companies use an aircraft in their line of
business, including on-demand air taxi services, air ambulance services and
freight and delivery services. Governments and military organizations may
purchase an aircraft for the transportation of personnel, freight and equipment.
Members of the general public may purchase an aircraft for personal and/or
business transportation, freight, equipment and pleasure use. An aircraft must
qualify under FAA regulations in order to be used for certain purposes, and the
ability of an aircraft to so qualify will have a material affect on the
potential market for such aircraft.
Currently, there are fewer than ten major manufacturers of general
aviation aircraft based in the United States. Piston aircraft make up the
numerical majority of aircraft delivered by these manufacturers, whereas
propjets and jet aircraft account for the majority of billings. Aircraft
deliveries by United States manufacturers have increased consistently with sales
generating approximately $3.1 billion in 1996, $4.7 billion in 1997, $5.9
billion in 1998, $7.8 billion in 1999, $8.6 billion in 2000 and $8.7 billion in
2001.
STRATEGY
GENERAL
We believe that an opportunity exists in the general aviation industry
to create a company, the products of which would consist of the best of existing
aircraft models produced today and available for acquisition either as a result
of depressed financial conditions or due to a desire by their manufacturers to
exit the industry. Also, the passage of the General Aviation Revitalization Act
of 1994 ("GARA") has resulted in reduced product liability exposure on the part
of general aviation aircraft manufacturers. Finally, airline travel has steadily
become a less desirable means of travel for the business traveler due to the
airlines' adoption of a hub-and-spoke system significantly extending the time,
and reducing the convenience, of airline travel to destinations without major
terminal facilities. The events of September 11, 2001, have caused increased
security measures to be implemented that cause further travel delays and
inconvenience to business travelers.
We intend to build such a new general aviation company through two
major strategies, as follows:
-- The acquisition and manufacture of the "best of breed"
existing models from aircraft manufacturers who desire to exit
the general aviation manufacturing business or are under
financial duress. Only aircraft models that are considered
best in their Class And fit together as a coherent product
line are being considered.
-- Development of new, small jet and turboprop aircraft (4 to 6
passengers), offering high performance and high safety of
flight, coupled with purchase and operating costs
substantially below currently available models that will be
attractive to individuals and small- to medium-size companies
who have not previously considered private aircraft as an
alternative to airline travel.
We have already taken the first step in this strategy by agreeing to
acquire substantially all of the assets of the Mooney Aircraft Corporation
("MACorp") at a federal bankruptcy auction in San Antonio, Texas on March 18,
2002, and through the provisions of an Asset Purchase Agreement with the general
unsecured creditors committee. The MACorp has produced high-performance,
single-engine piston aircraft for more than 50 years. Mooney aircraft are
recognized as the highest performance piston engine aircraft in commercial
production and have a wide following. Over 10,000 Mooney aircraft are in
operation around the world. MACorp was producing three models when it filed for
bankruptcy in July 2001.
MACorp was operated after its bankruptcy filing by a skeleton staff
that primarily focused on supplying spare parts and technical service to its
customer base. We have formed a new company to own and operate the assets being
acquired from MACorp. This wholly-owned subsidiary is named Mooney Airplane
Company, Inc. ("MAC").
18
We intend to establish full production of the Mooney line of aircraft,
which will consist of three models, the Eagle 2, Ovation 2, and the Bravo, at
our manufacturing facility in Kerrville, Texas. As we acquire additional
aircraft product lines, it is our intention to produce those models at the
Kerrville manufacturing facility as well.
We believe we can operate MAC at a profit by eliminating significant
amounts of overhead, reducing manufacturing costs, and by instituting a new
approach for the sale and distribution of Mooney aircraft. An increase in these
costs led to MACorp's Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July of 2001.
We have hired a management team with significant experience in turning
around general aviation manufacturing companies in order to achieve these goals.
Roy Norris, President and CEO, is the former President of Raytheon Aircraft
Company, a major producer of general aviation aircraft. Pete Larson, CFO, is the
former CFO of Cessna Aircraft Company and had significant experience in turning
around Cessna's financial performance. Dale Ruhmel, Executive Vice President for
Operations and Engineering, is the former head of Advanced Design and Technical
Services for Cessna Aircraft Company and an industry-recognized expert in small
aircraft design and certification. We believe the combined experience of this
management team will provide the necessary knowledge to make the required
changes to bring the Mooney aircraft back to profitability.
We continue to investigate the acquisition of other top of the line
general aviation product lines that will be complementary to the Mooney line. We
plan to pursue the acquisition of other complementary general aviation product
lines and development programs as they become available.
MANUFACTURING
We will manufacture all aircraft products for both Mooney airplanes and
any future-acquired lines in Kerrville, Texas, at the location of Mooney's
existing manufacturing facilities. We have a favorable long-term lease on both
land and buildings at the Kerrville Airport, which makes Kerrville a financially
attractive location to build aircraft. As many as 700 aircraft per year have
been produced in this facility, and it should provide the space required for our
future production plans.
Additionally, the Kerrville area has an experienced aerospace labor
work force developed over the many years the Mooney aircraft has been produced
in this location. There are no other aircraft manufacturers in the immediate
area, so competition for experienced workers is minimal. Labor to supply the
needs created by long-term growth is available in nearby San Antonio.
We plan to greatly simplify the manufacturing process used at the
Kerrville plant by eliminating inappropriate levels of computer control. The
Mooney aircraft is a simple and straightforward aircraft to build and the
overuse of MRP/ERP type manufacturing control systems led to an increase in
hours to build as opposed to the desired decrease. We plan to make appropriate
use of these computer tools.
The layout of the production line offers another opportunity for
reducing man-hours. Additionally, Old Mooney previously had an adverse
indirect-labor to direct-labor ratio, which is being corrected as we restart
operations. Lack of sufficient funding under the prior ownership was a cause of
cost growth. Irregular and excessive vendor payments caused disruptions in
material deliveries which impacted the production line, requiring installations
to be done out of station and out of sequence. Vendors were not inclined to give
best pricing terms under these conditions. We plan to enter into long-term
supply agreements to reduce raw material and purchased component costs.
We have hired Jack Jansen as President and COO for Mooney Airplane
Company, Inc. He ran manufacturing at Old Mooney from 1992-1994 and also was
head of manufacturing for another major general aviation manufacturer, Piper
Aircraft Company, building aircraft similar to Mooney aircraft.

SALES AND MARKETING
SALES STRATEGY
--------------
We plan to adopt a multifaceted method of sales that will capitalize on
agents for international sales and direct sales domestically. We will have two
showrooms and will station company salespersons in five select areas. We plan to
reset the price value equation for single-engine piston-powered aircraft and
gain market share through aggressive marketing and advertising emphasizing the
high performance capabilities of Mooney aircraft, new lower pricing, and high
safety. We intend to use new marketing channels, such as in-house sales from an
attractive showroom and salespersons located in major market areas. We believe
that new lower prices coupled with the high performance capabilities of Mooney
aircraft will allow us to compete successfully in our market area.
DOMESTIC SALES
--------------
We will adopt a new direct sales program from our California and Texas
locations combined with company salespersons located in five selected cities in
the United States.
We will advertise nationwide and provide one telephone number to call,
one website to view, and two showrooms from which to sell. Far fewer
salespeople, at significantly less salary and much lower commissions, are
required for this approach. The salespeople will concentrate on one product line
of aircraft only, and we believe this focus will allow them to refine the sales
process to a high level in a short time. Sales managers and other key
individuals will be located in the showrooms, allowing immediate answers to
sales questions or problems. If a sale cannot be completed, the salesperson will
have access to years of experience by calling on the sales managers, who will be
in the building to assist at any time.
We believe that this method is ideal for high-volume sales in today's
fast-paced market environment. The vast majority of sales will be from two major
outlets, the current facility showroom at the Long Beach airport and the factory
in Texas. Many customers will have a very short trip to see a new Mooney
aircraft, since a significant percentage of domestic aircraft sales are made in
California and Texas.
INTERNATIONAL SALES
-------------------
We plan to appoint a series of international agents who will represent
us in key international markets. These agents will be selected from experienced
international dealers and salespersons residing in the country of
responsibility. We will use the services of a consultant, Al Stauffer,
previously head of international sales for both Piper and Old Mooney, to
identify key candidates and make appropriate introductions. Agents will conduct
sales by signing international customers to a Mooney contract and will be paid a
commission for their success on a per aircraft basis.
NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Currently we have only one new aircraft product under development, the
Jetcruzer 500, a six passenger, turboprop-powered aircraft employing a forward
canard and rear-mounted wing in a pusher configuration. This unusual design was
chosen in an attempt to produce a stall-resistant aircraft with high speed and
low operating and acquisition costs.
In January 2002, our board of directors brought in a new management
team to replace former management due to continuing delays in the Jetcruzer
program. The new management team instituted a technical review of the Jetcruzer
500 program. Based on this review, the new management team concluded that the
Jetcruzer 500 was not likely to achieve its design objectives at a
commercially-reasonable cost. Additionally, noise tests determined that the
aircraft as designed could not meet recently-adopted federal guidelines for
external noise levels.
Accordingly, our board of directors resolved on March 26, 2002, that
significant spending on the Jetcruzer program should be suspended and that we
should review new technologies which might increase the viability of the program
and determine how best to capitalize on the existing development work associated
with the Jetcruzer program. Options to be considered by management include a
restart of the Jetcruzer program at a later date, the use of Jetcruzer flight
and test data to launch a new development activity and the sale of the program
to another company.
We continue to evaluate the acquisition of general aviation development
programs for aircraft complementary to the Mooney line and to investigate
internal development programs.
20
SUPPLIERS
We rely on various suppliers of materials and components which are
necessary to manufacture our aircraft. Our aircraft will utilize engines,
propellers and avionics provided by outside manufacturers. These suppliers also
produce equipment for other aircraft manufacturers. The Mooney models use
engines manufactured by Teledyne Continental and engines, propellers and
governers manufactured by Textron. We have contractual agreements for these
products with both Teledyne and Textron.
The failure of suppliers or subcontractors to meet our performance
specifications, quality standards, delivery standards or schedules could have a
material adverse effect on our operations. Moreover, our ability to increase our
production rate on the reopened Kerville plant production line could be limited
by the ability or willingness of our key suppliers to increase their delivery
rates.
COMPETITION
We anticipate a very competitive market for each of our products. We
are completing our pricing and marketing strategies, as well as our production
costs projections. Each of these factors influences the nature of our
competitive market. When we have such information in hand, we will be able to
identify the most direct competition for the various Mooney models with greater
clarity. Currently, it is anticipated that our competition will be from the
Cirrus Models SR20 and SR22, the Lancair Columbia 300, the Socata Models TB-20GT
and TB-21GT and the Commander Models 115 and 115TC.
PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
The failure of an aircraft, or any component part thereof, manufactured
by us or any other mishap involving such an aircraft may result in physical
injury or death to the occupants of the aircraft or others, and damage or
destruction of the aircraft itself, and therefore, we could be subject to
lawsuits involving product liability claims. We have obtained product-liability
insurance for the Jetcruzer 500 aircraft but do not intend to renew it at this
time for coverage of that product. We have also obtained product-liability
insurance for Mooney aircraft. Such insurance is expensive and subject to
various exclusions. Since the events of September 11, 2001, product-liability
insurance for manufacturers of general aviation aircraft has become less
available and more costly.
There can be no assurance that coverage will continue to be available
to us on acceptable terms or at all. Although we believe we will continue to be
able to obtain the necessary product liability insurance, we do not know what
limits of coverage will apply. Further, should we become involved in
product-liability litigation, the expenses and damages awarded could be large
and the scope of any coverage may be inadequate. We have obtained other
insurance as needed, including flight-test insurance for our pilots and aircraft
used during the FAA certification process.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The manufacture of aircraft is subject to extensive regulation by the
FAA. Both the finished product and the process of manufacturing itself must be
certified by the FAA, as must the type design. Failure to obtain or maintain all
required FAA certifications would have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
FAA CERTIFICATION
-----------------
For an aircraft model to be manufactured for sale, the FAA must issue a
type certificate and production certificate for that model; for an individual
aircraft to be operated, the FAA must issue an airworthiness certificate for
that aircraft.
Production certificates are issued by the FAA after it determines that
the type certificate holder (or its licensee) has the facilities and
quality-control capability to manufacture aircraft that will meet the design
provisions of the applicable type certificate. We have received the renewal of
production certificates for the Mooney line of aircraft.
21
An airworthiness certificate is issued by the FAA for a particular
aircraft when it is certified to have been built in accordance with
specifications approved under the type certificate for that model. The
airworthiness certificate remains in effect so long as required maintenance,
repairs and upkeep are performed. We will need to renew the airworthiness
certificates for the Mooney line. There can be no assurance that we will not
encounter a delay in obtaining an amended type certificate or a production
certificate for our planned or existing aircraft models or airworthiness
certificates for individual aircraft. We will also be subject to the risk of
modification, suspension or revocation of any FAA certificate we hold. Such
modification, suspension, or revocation could occur if, in the FAA's judgment,
our compliance with airworthiness or safety standards is in doubt. If the FAA
were to suspend or revoke our type or production certificates for an aircraft
model, sales of that model would be adversely affected or terminated. If, in the
FAA's judgment, an unsafe condition developed or was discovered after one or
more of our aircraft had entered service, the FAA could issue an "Airworthiness
Directive," which could result in a regulatory obligation upon us to develop
appropriate design changes. Foreign authorities could impose similar obligations
upon us as to aircraft within their jurisdiction. Any or all of the above
occurrences could expose us to substantial additional costs and/or liability.
PRODUCT-LIABILITY RISK LIMITATIONS
----------------------------------
In 1994, the United States Congress passed and the President signed the
General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994 ("GARA"). GARA provides protection
for manufacturers of general aviation aircraft against certain lawsuits for
wrongful death or injuries resulting from an aircraft accident. Except as set
forth in GARA, and provided a period of 18 years has passed from the date of
delivery of the aircraft to the original purchaser or retailer, no claim for
damages resulting from personal injury or wrongful death may be brought against
the manufacturer of a general aviation aircraft. Although GARA will not directly
affect us until eighteen years from the date we deliver our first aircraft,
management believes that GARA will indirectly benefit us immediately, in that it
may encourage increased manufacturing and sales of general aviation aircraft and
this increased activity may in turn result in an increased number of licensed
pilots. Management believes that a greater number of licensed pilots may provide
an increased market for our aircraft. However, there can be no assurance that
our view of GARA's effects will prove to be correct.
With respect to the Old Mooney assets, the Bankruptcy Court's order and
the Asset Purchase Agreement grant us ownership of the Old Mooney assets free
and clear of any product-liability claims for products manufactured prior to our
acquisition of the assets. Therefore we believe that we would not be found
liable for product-liability claims related to Old Mooney aircraft or parts
manufactured prior to our acquisition of the Old Mooney assets. However, we may
be named as a defendant in future lawsuits and may incur costs associated with
the defense of such claims.
FOREIGN CERTIFICATION
---------------------
In order for us to sell our aircraft in foreign countries, we must
comply with each country's aircraft certification process. Certain countries
will accept as adequate certification issued by the FAA, while others impose
additional requirements. In countries which do require additional certification,
the FAA certification often provides a starting point from which such country
begins its certification process. We intend to begin the certification process
in a foreign country once we have received FAA certification for our aircraft
and have finalized a sale or distributorship of that aircraft in that country.
We have not yet determined which foreign market or markets we will first
address. Priorities in this area will be established by the levels of interest
in our products by dealers and distributors in the various foreign markets. At
this time we are unable to determine Mooney's certification status in foreign
countries. We will attempt to obtain any certifications required for us to sell
Mooney aircraft abroad.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately 150 full-time employees. We
believe that our relations with our employees are good. We are not a party to
any collective bargaining agreement.
PROPERTIES
We have leased approximately ten acres of land located on the Long
Beach Airport in Long Beach, California (the "Ground Lease"). The Ground Lease
term commenced on October 20, 1997, and continues for 30 years with an option to
renew for an additional 10 years. The lease also contains options to lease other
airport properties. The current monthly rent for the Ground Lease is $15,600.
The Ground Lease was assigned to AP-Long Beach Airport LLC in June 1999.
22
We retained Commercial Developments International West to design and
build our approximately 200,000 square-foot manufacturing and headquarters
facility (the "New Facility") on the property subject to the Ground Lease. We
moved into the New Facility on November 18, 1998. The total cost for the New
Facility, including its design, construction, licenses, fees and change orders,
was approximately $9,800,000. In June 1999, we sold the New Facility to The
Abbey Company and leased it back. The sale price of the building was $9,800,000,
and the term of the lease is eighteen years plus an option to extend the lease
for an additional ten years. Monthly payments under the terms of our current
lease are approximately $119,620 and escalate annually through June 1, 2007, and
will be adjusted annually beginning June 1, 2009, for changes in the Consumer
Price Index. The rent in the option period following the eighteenth year would
be at fair market rental value.
The capacity of hanger and office space of the facility in Long Beach
is now in excess of our requirements as a result of the acquisition of the Old
Mooney facility in Kerrville, Texas and our decision to focus all production
activities in Texas. We are examining alternatives for the location of the
California sales, advanced development and corporate offices which may include
subletting the facility at Long Beach and may include a relocation within the
Southern California region.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of our capital stock and certain
provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws is a summary and is
qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to our Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 625,000,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock, $0.0001 par value, 4,000,000 shares of Class E-1 Common Stock, $0.0001
par value, 4,000,000 shares of Class E-2 Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, and
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 100,000 have
been designated as Class A Preferred Stock. As of July 11, 2002, there were
outstanding 71,675,731 shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,013,572 shares of Class
B Common Stock (held of record by one stockholders), 4,000,000 shares of Class
E-1 Common Stock (held of record by five stockholders), 4,000,000 shares of
Class E-2 Common Stock (held of record by six stockholders) and 38,647 shares of
Class A Preferred Stock.
UNITS
Each Unit previously offered consisted of one share of Class A Common
Stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant. At any time commencing on
the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary date of the Prospectus for that
offering, each Class A Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one share of
Class A Common Stock and one Class B Warrant and each Class B Warrant will be
exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock. The Common Stock and
Warrants included in the Units are immediately transferable separately upon
issuance. The exercise price of the Class A Warrant and the Class B Warrant at
the time of issuance was $6.50 and $8.75, respectively.
COMMON STOCK
The Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock
and Class E-2 Common Stock are substantially identical, except that the holders
of Class A Common Stock have the right to cast one vote, and the holders of
Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock, and Class E-2 Common Stock have
the right to cast five votes, for each share held of record on all matters
submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, including the election of
directors. The Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common
Stock and Class E-2 Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters
30
on which stockholders may vote, including the election of directors, except when
voting by class is required by applicable law. Holders of the Class A Common
Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common Stock
have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor,
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and are entitled to share
ratably, as a single class, in all of theour assets available for
distribution to the holders of shares of common stock upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Mooney. Except as described herein,
no pre-emptive, subscription, or conversion rights pertain to the common stock
and no redemption or sinking fund provisions exist for the benefit thereof. All
outstanding shares of common stock are, and those shares of Class A Common Stock
offered hereby will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
As a consequence of their ownership of common stock and the enhanced
voting power of the Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock, and Class E-2
Common Stock, the current Class B, E-1 and E-2 stockholders of Mooney have
controlled a majority of the voting power of Mooney, and accordingly, were able
to elect all of our directors. This difference in voting rights and consequent
increase in the voting power of the Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock
and Class E-2 Common Stock has an anti-takeover effect, in that the existence of
the Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common Stock may
make us a less attractive target for a hostile takeover bid or render more
difficult or discourage a merger proposal, an unfriendly tender offer, a proxy
contest, or the removal of incumbent management, even if such transactions were
favored by Mooney stockholders, other than the holders of Class B Common Stock,
Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common Stock. Thus, our stockholders may be
deprived of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing
market prices in the event of a hostile takeover bid. Those seeking to acquire
us through a business combination may be compelled to consult first with the
holders of the Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common
Stock in order to negotiate the terms of such a business combination.
Additionally, any such proposed business combination would have to be approved
by the Board of Directors, which may be under the control of the holders of the
Class B Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common Stock; and, if
stockholder approval were required, the approval of the holders of the Class B
Common Stock, Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common Stock would be
necessary before any such business combination could be consummated.
PERFORMANCE SHARES
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Class E-1 and E-2
Common Stock is redeemable by us at a price of $0.01 per share unless we
meet certain income thresholds as described below. If the thresholds are met,
the Performance Shares will be automatically converted into shares of Class B
Common Stock. The Performance Shares are not assignable or transferable other
than upon death, by operation of law, or to related parties who agree to be
bound by the restrictions on the Performance Shares set forth in our
Certificate of Incorporation.
(a) The 4,000,000 shares of outstanding Class E-1 Common Stock will be
automatically converted into Class B Common Stock if, and only if, one or more
of the following conditions are met:
(i) our net income before provision for income taxes and
exclusive of any extraordinary earnings as audited and determined by Mooney's
independent public accountants (the "Minimum Pretax Income") amounts to at least
$17.5 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998;
(ii) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $22.5
million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999;
(iii) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $28.5
million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000;
(iv) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $36.0
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2001;
(v) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $45.0
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2002; or
31
(vi) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $56.0
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2003.
(b) The 4,000,000 shares of outstanding Class E-2 Common Stock will be
converted into Class B Common Stock if, and only if, at least one of the
following conditions is met.
(i) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $21.875
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 1998;
(ii) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $28.125
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 1999;
(iii) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $35.625
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2000;
(iv) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $45.0
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2001
(v) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $56.25
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2002; or
(vi) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $69.5
million for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2003.
The Minimum Pretax Income amounts set forth above (i) shall be
calculated exclusive of any extraordinary earnings or charge, including, but not
limited to, any charge to income resulting from conversion of the Performance
Shares and (ii) shall be increased proportionately, with certain limitations, in
the event additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into,
exchangeable for or exercisable into common stock are issued after completion of
the Offering.
If none of the applicable Minimum Pretax Income levels set forth above
have been met by March 31, 2004, the Performance Shares will be redeemable by us
at a price of $0.01 per share. We expect that the conversion of Performance
Shares owned by officers, directors, employees and consultants of Mooney will be
deemed compensatory and, accordingly, will result in a substantial charge to
reportable earnings equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of
conversion. Such charge could substantially increase the loss or reduce or
eliminate our net income for financial reporting purposes for the period or
periods during which such shares are, or become probable of being, converted.
Therefore, although the amount of compensation expense we recognize will not
affect our cash flow, it may have a negative effect on the market price of our
securities.
The restrictions on the Class E-1 Common Stock and Class E-2 Common
Stock were required by the Underwriter as a condition to our initial public
offering. The Minimum Pretax Income levels set forth above were determined by
negotiation between Mooney and the Underwriter and should not be construed to
imply or predict any future earnings by us.
CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the
option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B
Common Stock will also automatically convert into an equivalent number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock upon the sale or transfer
of such shares of Class B Common Stock (other than a transfer to another holder
of Class B Common Stock) by the original record holder thereof or upon the death
of the holder thereof unless and to the extent that such shares are acquired by
another holder of Class B Common Stock.
32
PREFERRED STOCK
The preferred stock may be issued in series, and shares of each series
will have such rights, preferences, and privileges as are fixed by the Board of
Directors in the resolutions authorizing the issuance of that particular series.
In designating any series of preferred stock, the Board of Directors may,
without further action by the holders of common stock, fix the number of shares
constituting the series and fix the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion
rights, voting rights (which may be greater or lesser than the voting rights of
the common stock), rights and terms of redemption (including any sinking fund
provisions), and the liquidation preferences of the series of preferred stock.
The holders of any series of preferred stock, when and if issued, are expected
to have priority claims to dividends and to any distributions upon liquidation
of our Company, and they may have other preferences over the holders of the
common stock.
The Board of Directors may issue series of preferred stock without
action by the holders of the common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of
preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common
stock. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock may be used as an
"anti-takeover" device without further action on the part of the holders of the
common stock. The issuance of preferred stock may also dilute the voting power
of the holders of common stock, in that a series of preferred stock may be
granted enhanced per share voting rights and the right to vote on certain
matters separately as a class, and may render more difficult the removal of
current management, even if such removal may be in the stockholders' best
interest. We have no current plans to issue any additional preferred stock,
other than under the March 2000 Series A Preferred Stock equity line.
As of July 11, 2002, we had 38,647 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding with a $100 stated value per share. Holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends, payable quarterly, and
have preferential liquidation rights above all other issuances of common stock
for an amount equal to the stated value. The Series A Preferred Stock and unpaid
dividends are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock equal to an amount
determined by the market value at the date of close of the Class A Common Stock,
adjusted for changes in the market price prior to the conversion. The preferred
stockholders do not have voting rights.
TRANSFER AGENT AND WARRANT AGENT
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York, will serve
as Transfer Agent for the shares of Common Stock.
CERTAIN STATUTORY AND CHARTER PROVISIONS UNDER THE DELAWARE
GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in
general, that a stockholder acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding voting
shares of a publicly-held Delaware corporation subject to the statute (an
"Interested Stockholder") may not engage in certain "Business Combinations" with
the corporation for a period of three years subsequent to the date on which the
stockholder became an Interested Stockholder unless (i) prior to such date the
corporation's board of directors approved either the Business Combination or the
transaction in which the stockholder became an Interested Stockholder or (ii)
upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Interested Stockholder owns
85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares
owned by directors who are also officers of the corporation or shares held by
employee stock option plans that do not provide employees with the right to
determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be
tendered in a tender or exchange offer), or (iii) the Business Combination is
approved by the corporation's board of directors and authorized at an annual or
special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative
vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation
not owned by the Interested Stockholder.
Section 203 defines the term "Business Combination" to encompass a wide
variety of transactions with or caused by an Interested Stockholder in which the
Interested Stockholder receives or could receive a benefit on other than a pro
rata basis with other stockholders, including mergers, certain asset sales,
certain issuances of additional shares to the Interested Stockholder or
transactions in which the Interested Stockholder receives certain other
benefits.
These provisions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change of control of Mooney. Our stockholders, by adopting an
amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, may elect not to be
governed by Section 203, effective twelve months after adoption. Neither our
Certificate of Incorporation nor our Bylaws currently excludes us from the
restrictions imposed by Section 203.
33
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation through its
Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the personal liability of its
directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty of loyalty and care as a director with certain exceptions. The
exceptions include a breach of the director's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation
of law, and improper personal benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation
exonerates our directors from monetary liability to the fullest extent permitted
by this statutory provision.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public
market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Under
the terms of this offering, the shares of common stock to be issued upon the
conversion of the various outstanding notes and Series A Preferred Stock and
underlying warrants which have been issued under the various agreements, as
described in this Prospectus, may be resold without restrictions or further
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except that any shares purchased
by our "affiliates," as that term is defined under the Securities Act, may
generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.
OUTSTANDING RESTRICTED STOCK
As of July 11, 2002, 8,302,081 outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be
sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an exemption
from registration is available, including the exemption from registration
offered by Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a
person who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year,
including a person who may be deemed to be our affiliate, may sell within any
three-month period a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed a
specified maximum number of shares. This maximum is equal to the greater of 1%
of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading
volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding
the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to restrictions relating to
manner of sale, notice and availability of current public information about us.
In addition, under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, a person who is not our
affiliate, has not been an affiliate of ours within three months prior to the
sale and has beneficially owned shares for at least two years would be entitled
to sell such shares immediately without regard to volume limitations, manner of
sale provisions, notice or other requirements of Rule 144.
PREFERRED STOCK
As of July 11, 2002, there were 38,647 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock currently outstanding held by 14 stockholders of record. The shares of
common stock to be issued upon the conversion of the preferred stock may not be
sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an exemption
from registration is available, including the exemption from registration
offered by Rule 144. A registration statement with regard to the resale of the
underlying common stock is currently effective and the resale of additional
shares underlying the conversion of the preferred stock are being registered by
this offering statement.
CONVERTIBLE NOTES
As of July 11, 2002, $23,506,225 of convertible notes with 81 holders
was outstanding. The shares of common stock to be issued upon the conversion of
the notes may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities
Act unless an exemption from registration is available, including the exemption
from registration offered by Rule 144. A registration statement with regard to
the resale of certain of the underlying shares of common stock is currently
effective, and the resale of additional shares underlying the conversion of the
notes are being registered by this registration statement.
WARRANTS
The resale of shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of
warrants which have been issued under the various agreements described in this
registration statement are being registered by this registration statement.
34
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
-- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;
-- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell
the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
-- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
-- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
-- privately-negotiated transactions;
-- short sales;
-- broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell
a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per
share;
-- a combination of any such methods of sale; and
-- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under
the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholders defaults
on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares.
The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the
box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of
our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
The selling stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock to their
brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling
stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer
and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for
other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer
acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
Each selling stockholder shall be deemed to be an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event,
any commissions received by such persons and any profit on the resale of the
shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter
discounts. We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify each other
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
35
The rules and regulations set forth in Regulation M promulgated under
the Exchange Act provide that, during the period that any person is engaged in a
distribution of shares within the meaning of Regulation M, that person usually
may not purchase shares. The selling stockholders are subject to the rules and
regulations of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M,
which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares by the selling
stockholders. Regulation M's prohibition on purchases may include purchases to
cover short positions by the selling stockholders and a selling shareholder's
failure to cover a short position at a lender's request, and subsequent
purchases of shares by the lender in the open market to cover such short
positions, may constitute an inducement to buy shares which is prohibited by
Regulation M. Consequently, this may affect the marketability of the shares. We
have informed the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of
Regulation M may apply to them. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the shares offered hereby.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the
shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any
proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We
will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants, unless a cashless
exercise provision is available and is used. Assuming all the shares registered
below are sold by the selling stockholders, none of the selling stockholders
will continue to own any shares of our common stock.
The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is
offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares
of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of
common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of
the shares offered.

* Shareholders with beneficial ownership pursuant to subscription agreements
have contractually stipulated to a 9.99% ownership restriction. The full
conversion and exercise of convertible equities would exceed this
restriction for certain shareholders. The conversion amount has been
calculated without accrued interest.

The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other
purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which
the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and
also any shares which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60
days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion
of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other
factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially
less or more than the number estimated in the table. We are registering more
shares than can be currently converted due to our contractual obligations.
Percentages are based on a total of 71,675,731 shares of common stock

MARCH 2000 PREFERRED STOCK EQUITY LINE AGREEMENT
OVERVIEW. On March 3, 2000, we entered into a Subscription Agreement
with certain of the selling stockholders identified in this Prospectus. Under
this agreement we have issued $9,108,500 in Series A Preferred Stock with a put
option to issue and sell an additional $891,500 of Series A Preferred Stock upon
the agreement of the applicable selling stockholders.
PUT RIGHTS. In order to invoke a put right, we must have an effective
registration statement on file with the SEC registering the resale of the common
shares which underlie the conversion of the preferred stock to be issued as a
consequence of the invocation of that put right. Additionally, we must provide
the selling stockholders with a Put Notice, which must set forth the Investment
Amount which we intend to sell to the selling stockholders, and which must be
accompanied by certain required documents.
LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OUR PUT RIGHTS. The selling
stockholders' obligation to acquire and pay for any Series A Preferred Stock
with respect to any particular put is subject to certain conditions precedent,
including:
-- The resale of the shares to be issued must be registered on an
effective Registration Statement;
-- Trading of our Class A Common Stock must not have been
suspended, and our Class A Common Stock must continue to be
listed on its principal market (including the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board); and
-- We must be in compliance with the Certificate of Designation
which governs the Series A Preferred Stock.
A previous requirement that we must be listed on Nasdaq was deleted by
an amendment to the agreement and the Certificate of Designation.
SHORT SALES. The selling stockholders and their affiliates are
prohibited from engaging in short sales of our common stock at a time when the
last reported bid of the common stock is less than $7.00 per share.
MARCH 27, 2001, SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT FOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES
OVERVIEW. On March 27, 2001, we entered into a subscription agreement
with certain of the selling stockholders identified in this Prospectus for the
sale of (i) between $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 in secured convertible notes and
(ii) warrants to purchase two shares of our Class A Common Stock for each dollar
loaned to us pursuant to such convertible notes. The maturity date on these
secured convertible notes and the expiration date on these warrants is 3 years
from the date of issuance.
The secured convertible notes bear interest at the annual rate of 5%
and are convertible following issuance into shares of our Class A Common Stock
at, upon the election of the holder, one of the following prices per share: (i)
$0.25; (ii) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of our Class A
Common Stock for the sixty trading days immediately prior to the conversion
date; or iii) the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the last trading
day immediately preceding the date of the initial issuance of the notes. These
convertible notes are secured by all of our assets.
The warrants may be exercised following issuance and will have an
exercise price per share of 110% of the closing price of the Class A Common
Stock on the trading day prior to the issuance of the warrant.
We are required to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common
Stock underlying the secured convertible notes and warrants.
INITIAL CLOSING. Pursuant to the subscription agreements discussed
above, on March 27, 2001, we sold in an initial closing $4,100,000 in secured
convertible notes for face value and issued warrants to purchase 8,254,060
shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share.
49
As part of this initial closing, we incurred fee obligations to finders
of $330,089 which was paid by the issuance of unsecured convertible notes
substantially similar to the secured convertible notes described above, but for
the security interest.
PUT RIGHTS AND PUT CLOSING. The subscription agreement also provided us
with put rights for up to an additional $3 million in secured convertible notes
and warrants under the same terms as the March 27, 2001, subscription agreement.
We completed a put on July 25, 2001, and issued $1 million in secured
convertible notes for face value and issued warrants to purchase 2,000,000
shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.242 per share. As
part of this put, we incurred fee obligations to finders of $80,000. Of this
$80,000, $68,480 was paid by the issuance of unsecured convertible notes
substantially similar to the secured convertible notes described above, but for
the security interest.
CONVERSION. The closing price of our Class A Common Stock as of July
29, 2002, was $0.20. Assuming an average price of $0.184 and further assuming
that holders would elect the lesser of this average price and $0.25, the
conversion price under the secured convertible notes would be $0.184 and the
$1,220,075 face value of the currently outstanding secured convertible notes
(including finders notes) would be convertible into approximately 6,630,842
shares of our Class A Common Stock. This calculation does not include interest
and is therefore potentially convertible into a higher number of shares.
JUNE 27, 2001, SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT FOR UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES
OVERVIEW. On June 27, 2001, we entered into a subscription agreement
with a certain Selling Stockholder identified in this Prospectus for the sale of
$1,000,000 in an unsecured convertible notes and warrants to purchase shares of
our Class A Common Stock. The maturity date on this unsecured convertible notes
is 5 years from the date of issuance and the expiration date on these warrants
is 3 years from the date of issuance.
The convertible notes bear interest at the annual rate of 5% and are
convertible following issuance into shares of our Class A Common Stock at, upon
the election of the holder, one of the following prices per share: (i) $0.25;
(ii) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of our Class A Common
Stock for the sixty trading days immediately prior to the conversion date; or
(iii) the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the last trading day
immediately preceding the date of the initial issuance of the notes.
The warrants may be exercised following issuance and will have an
exercise price per share of 110% of the closing price of the Class A Common
Stock on the trading day prior to the issuance of the warrant.
We are required to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common
Stock underlying the unsecured convertible notes and warrants.
CLOSING. Pursuant to the subscription agreement discussed above, on
June 27, 2001, we issued $1,000,000 in unsecured convertible notes for face
value and issued warrants to purchase 2,646,212 shares of our Class A Common
Stock at an exercise price of $0.22275 per share. As part of the closing, we
incurred fee obligations to finders of $100,000.
CONVERSION. The closing price of our Class A Common Stock as of July
29, 2002, was $0.20. Assuming an average price of $0.184 and further assuming
that holders would elect the lesser of this average price and $0.25, the
conversion price under the secured convertible notes would be $0.184 and the
$1,000,000 face value of the currently outstanding secured convertible notes
would be convertible into approximately 5,434,783 shares of our Class A Common
Stock. This calculation does not include interest and is therefore potentially
convertible into a higher number of shares.
OCTOBER 26, 2001, SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT FOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES
OVERVIEW. On October 26, 2001, we entered into a subscription agreement
with certain of the selling stockholders identified in this Prospectus for the

Common Stock at, upon the election of the holder, one of the following prices
per share: (i) $0.35; or (ii) 70% of the average of the three lowest closing
prices of our Class A Common Stock for the thirty trading days immediately prior
to the conversion date. These convertible notes are secured by all of our
assets.
The warrants may be exercised following 45 days from issuance and
provide an exercise price per share of: (i) $0.25 for the first 50% of the
shares purchasable thereunder; and (ii) $0.30 for the remaining 50% of such
shares.
We are required to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common
Stock underlying the secured convertible notes and warrants.

Subscription Agreement and Put Agreement, the January 30, 2002 Subscription
Agreement, the May 16, 2002 Subscription Agreement and the July 10, 2002
Subscription Agreement. The closing price of our Class A Common Stock as of July
29, 2002, was $0.20. Assuming an average price of $0.161 and further assuming
that holders would elect the lesser of this average price and $0.35, the
conversion price under the convertible notes issued on or after October 26, 2001
would be $0.161 and the $21,286,150 face value of the convertible notes
outstanding as of July 11, 2002 (including finders notes) would be convertible
into approximately 132,212,112 shares of our Class A Common Stock. This
calculation does not include interest and is therefore potentially convertible
into a higher number of shares.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors
Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Mooney Aerospace
Group, Ltd. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2001, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for
the two years then ended, and for the period from January 26, 1990 (inception)
through December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mooney Aerospace
Group Ltd., at December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the two years in the period then ended and the period from
January 26, 1990 (inception) through December 31, 2001, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd. will continue as a going concern. As more fully
described in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has an
accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency at December 31, 2001. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

MOONEY AEROSPACE GROUP, LTD.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS STRATEGY
Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. ("AASI") was incorporated in
California on January 26, 1990. In July 1996, AASI reincorporated by
merging into a newly formed corporation in Delaware. Upon approval of
the Board of Directors and shareholders, AASI filed with the State of
Delaware to change its name. On July 23, 2002, the Company obtained
approval from the State of Delaware to change the name from Advanced
Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. to Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd. (the
"Company" or "Mooney"). The financial statements as of December 31,
2001 have been adjusted to reflect this name change. The Company is in
the development stage of designing a multi purpose light aircraft.
Since its inception, the Company has been engaged primarily in research
and development of its proposed aircraft the JETCRUZER 500. In June
1994, the FAA awarded the Company a Type Certificate for the JETCRUZER
450, which is a non pressurized propjet aircraft powered by a smaller
Pratt & Whitney engine.
On January 8, 2002 the Board of Directors elected a new management team
of experienced aviation executives to refocus the Company. The Chief
Executive Officer, Dr. Carl Chen, was replaced by Roy Norris, former
President of Raytheon Aircraft Company. Following the reorganization of
management, the Company adopted a new business strategy of becoming a
leading supplier of piston, turboprop, and light jet aircraft for the
business and owner-flown general aviation markets. The Company plans to
accomplish this through the acquisition of existing high quality
aviation lines and the development of new aircraft models. The Company,
under its new management team, conducted a technical review of the
JETCRUZER 500 program to ascertain the reasons for the continued delays
in the JETCRUZER 500 program and the actual status of the aircraft.
This review revealed that the JETCRUZER 500 was seriously overweight,
was not achieving its speed goals, and had a serious gravity problem
with fuel burn. Additionally, subsequent noise tests determined that
the aircraft could not meet current federal guidelines for external
noise levels. Accordingly, the Board of Directors suspended significant
spending on the JETCRUZER 500 program. The Company is currently
considering several options, which includes a restart of the JETCRUZER
500 at a later date, sale of the program to another company or use the
JETCRUZER flight and test data to launch a new development activity.
As discussed in Note 16, the Company's first step is the acquisition of
Mooney Aircraft Corporation's ("Mooney") assets out of bankruptcy,
which was approved by the bankruptcy courts on March 18, 2002. It is
expected that the deal will close some time in April 2002. Mooney is
located in Kerrville, Texas. This is an important first step in the
Company's new strategy to assemble a new and vibrant general aviation
manufacturer with revolutionary newly developed aircraft products using
the latest in technology and cost effective manufacturing techniques.
In connection with the acquisition of the Mooney assets, the Company
set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mooney Airplane Company, to acquire
those assets. In addition, the Board of Directors approved the name
change of the parent company from Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures,
Inc. to Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd.
2. FINANCIAL RESULTS AND LIQUIDITY
To date, the Company has generated no sales revenue and none is
projected until the Company can begin commercial production of their
product and regain market acceptance of the aircraft at profitable
selling prices and volumes. The Company incurred program development
costs to date of approximately $45,498,000 and has recorded a
cumulative net loss of $(82,291,000). The Company's management team has
been developing a financial plan to address its working capital
requirements and believes that if executed successfully, the Plan will
F-8
substantially improve the Company's ability to meet its working capital
requirements throughout the current year. Although the Company has
received verbal commitments to carry out the acquisition of the Mooney
assets and to complete its business strategy, the current working
capital is insufficient to meet the Company's needs beyond the second
quarter of fiscal 2002. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
All costs incurred in the design, testing, and certification of
aircraft being developed by the Company (including costs of in-process
research and development acquired) are expensed as incurred.
PRE-OPERATING COSTS
Pre-operating costs are expensed as incurred.
ADVERTISING EXPENSE
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was
$476,000 and $43,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001,
respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid instruments that
have original maturities of three months or less and are readily
convertible to cash to be considered cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents are held by major financial institutions.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash
equivalents, investments available-for-sale, and restricted cash. The
Company maintains its financial instruments with major financial
institutions. At times, cash balances held by financial institutions
were in excess of federal limits. The Company, by policy, limits the
amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution, and does
not consider itself to have any significant concentrations of credit
risk.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of substantially all financial instruments of the
Company approximates their carrying value in the aggregate due to their
short-term maturity and/or prevailing market interest rates.
LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
The Company's investment strategies consider safety of principal,
availability of funds and maximum return on investment. Management
determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance
sheet date. Currently all debt securities are classified as
available-for-sale, as the Company intends to sell such securities as
necessary to fund operations. Such securities are recorded at market
value, with unrealized gains/losses being recorded in other
comprehensive income.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, unrealized losses amounted to
$29,000 which have been reported in the balance sheet and statement of
stockholders' deficiency. Long-term investments are recorded at market
value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security
at the balance sheet date. When securities are sold, the investment
account is relieved by use of the specific identification method.
F-9
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of
5-10 years for machinery and equipment, 3-5 years for office furniture
and equipment and 18 years for the building acquired under a capital
lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Included in
depreciation expense is the amortization of assets acquired under
capital leases.
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of whenever significant events or
changes occur which might impair the recovery of recorded costs. The
measurement of possible impairment is either based upon significant
losses or on the inability to recover the balance of the long-lived
asset from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted
basis. If an impairment exists, the amount of such impairment is
calculated based upon the discounted cash flows or the market values as
compared to the recorded costs.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach
that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. A
valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it
is more likely than not that all or some portion of such deferred tax
assets will not be realized.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue represents advance deposits from customers which were
paid when the sales order was signed. The Company will record these
deposits as revenue once the Company has obtained its production
certificate and commences production of the JETCRUZER 500.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants stock options with an exercise price equal to at
least the fair value of the stock at the date of grant. The Company has
elected to continue to account for its employee stock- based
compensation plans using an intrinsic value based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations.
Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee
stock options equal or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock
on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
F-10
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS and SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. SFAS No. 141 is effective for any business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001 and SFAS No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the
new rules, goodwill deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance
with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives.
The Company expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS
No. 142 on January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect
of the adoption of these pronouncements will be on the earnings and
financial position of the Company.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, which supersedes SFAS No.
121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and
for long-lived assets to be disposed of. However, SFAS No. 144 retains
certain fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 including recognition
and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and
used; and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and
is in the process of assessing the effect of adopting this
pronouncement.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 balances to
conform to the 2001 presentation.
4. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On March 27, 2001, the Company obtained new financing of up to
$5,000,000, with an availability of up to an additional $3,000,000. The
additional amount becomes available after certain criteria have been
met, as defined in the agreement. The Company issued $4,100,000 in
Secured Convertible Notes ("Notes" or "Debentures") with an interest
rate of 5% to accredited investors, as defined by Regulation D rules
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933. On July 25, 2001, the Company issued an additional
$1,000,000 in Notes under this agreement. In conjunction with the
financing, the Company issued an additional $410,000 in Secured
Convertible Notes as finders fees. As part of the agreement the Company
also issued warrants to purchase 10,254,000 shares of Common stock at
an exercise price ranging from approximately $.24 to $.45 per share.
The Company filed a proxy statement and Form S-3 Registration Statement
as required by the terms of the agreement. There is a mandatory
redemption requirement at 125% of the unpaid principal balance and
unpaid interest upon the occurrence of default or if the Company is
prohibited from issuing shares of common stock. Additionally, the
Company may put the additional notes to the note holders upon meeting
certain covenants related to the availability of trading of the stock,
trading volume and market price and other milestones.
At December 31, 2001, the Company was in default on one of the
covenants of the agreement for failure to pay accrued interest on the
notes within 10 days of December 31, 2001. Due to the default, the
Company is required to accrue the interest due at 10%. In accordance
with the agreement, the Company has accrued approximately $242,000 in
interest due these note holders at December 31, 2001. The Company has
not obtained waivers from the note holders waiving their right to call
the notes due or the payment of outstanding interest, nor has any note
holder elected to redeem their notes outstanding according to the terms
of the Subscription Agreement. Due to the event of default, the Company
has recorded all notes outstanding as a current liability in the
Balance Sheet.
F-11
The debentures were issued with various stated conversion prices, which
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the effective
conversion price was below market at the time of the issuances. The
discount of $3,345,000, which resulted from these transactions, will be
amortized over the life of the debentures. During the current year,
$1,356,000 was amortized to interest expense, due to the passage of
time and conversions into shares of Common Stock.
On June 27, 2001, the Company obtained new financing of $1,000,000,
which is separate from that of March 27, 2001, described above. The
Company issued $1,000,000 in a Convertible Note (or "Debenture") with
an interest rate of 5% to an accredited investor, as defined by
Regulation D rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933. As part of the agreement, the Company
issued warrants to purchase 2,646,000 shares of common stock at a
purchase price of $.22 per share. There is a mandatory redemption
requirement at 125% of the unpaid principal balance and unpaid interest
upon the occurrence of default or if the Company is prohibited from
issuing shares of common stock. The Company did not register the shares
issuable upon conversion within 30 days of the closing date which is a
non-registration event pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Subscription
Agreement. In accordance with the Section, the Company has accrued
$115,000 representing liquidation damages due to the note holder as a
result of the non-registration event. Such damages are calculated at an
amount equal to 1% of the principal amount issued per 30 days or part
thereof, and 2% for each 30 days or part thereof, during the pendency
of the non-registration event.
The debenture was issued with various stated conversion prices, which
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the effective
conversion price was below market at the time of the issuance. The
discount of $351,000, which resulted from this transaction, will be
amortized over the life of the debenture. During the current year
approximately $36,000 was amortized to interest expense. No notes
issued under this agreement were converted in 2001.
At December 31, 2001, the Company was in default on one of the
covenants of the June 27, 2001 agreement for failure to pay accrued
interest on the notes within 10 days of December 31, 2001. Due to the
default, the Company is required to accrue the interest due at 10%. In
accordance with the agreement, the Company has accrued approximately
$52,000 in interest due the note holders at December 31, 2001. The
Company has not obtained a waiver from the note holder waiving his
right to call the notes due or the payment of the outstanding interest,
nor has the note holder elected to redeem his notes outstanding
according to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. Due to the event
of default, the Company has recorded this note outstanding as a current
liability in the Balance Sheet.
On October 26, 2001, the Company obtained new financing of up to
$10,000,000 with an availability of up to an additional $3,000,000, as
part of a private placement offering, which is separate from that of
March 27, 2001 and June 27, 2001. The Company issued $7,750,000 in
Secured Convertible Notes (or "debentures") with an interest rate of 8%
to accredited investors, as defined by Regulation D rules issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. In
conjunction with the financing, the Company issued an additional
$667,000 in Secured Convertible Notes as finders fees. As part of the
agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 17,714,000 shares of
Common stock. Half of the warrants may be exercised at a purchase price
of $.25 per share. The other 50% may be exercised at $.30 per share.
There is a mandatory redemption requirement at 125% of the unpaid
principal balance and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of default or
if the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common stock. The
Company did not register the shares issuable upon conversion within 60
days of the closing date, which is a non-registration event pursuant to
Section 10.4 of the Subscription Agreement. In accordance with the
Section, the Company has accrued $292,000 representing liquidation
damages due to the note holders as a result of the non-registration
event. Such damages are calculated at an amount equal to 1% of the
principal amount issued per 30 days, for the first 30 days or part
thereof, and 2% for each 30 days or part thereof, during the pendency
of the non-registration event. The Company has recorded the debentures
as a current liability.
F-12
In conjunction with the October 26, 2001 private placement, the Company
entered into a Put Agreement with a group of its investors who hold
Convertible Notes and Preferred Stock. Under the Put Agreement, the
Company may sell up to an additional $5,000,000 in Convertible Notes
and warrants. The Company's right to exercise this option expires
October 25, 2002.
The debentures were issued with various stated conversion prices, which
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the conversion price
was below market at the time of issuance. The discount of $5,936,000,
which resulted from this transaction, will be amortized over the life
of the debentures. During the current year approximately $210,000 was
amortized to interest expense due to the passage of time. No notes
issued under this agreement were converted in 2001. The Company has
accrued approximately $122,000 in interest at 8% due to the note
holders at December 31, 2001.
As of December 31, 2001, various note holders converted a total of
$2,195,000 of convertible debentures into 14,961,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In 1995 and through August 1996, an officer of the Company made loans
to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $562,000 bearing
interest at 12% per annum. In May 1996, $336,000 of such loans were
converted into 187,118 shares of Class B Common Stock and 374,236
shares each of Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock. The remaining
$226,000 principal amount of these loans, together with accrued
interest of $36,000, was repaid with the proceeds of bridge notes.
On December 23, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with a
stockholder to convert advances from such stockholder aggregating
$10,478,000 at that date into 584,074 shares of Class B Common Stock,
and 1,168,148 shares each of Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock. The
Company issued these shares in June 1996. Interest expense was not
recorded on these advances subsequent to December 23, 1993 due to the
intent to convert the advances into stockholders' equity. In 1994, the
stockholder provided additional advances aggregating $250,000, which
were converted into 13,937 shares of Class B Common Stock and 27,873
shares each of Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock in June 1996. Based
on prevailing market rates, imputed interest of $11,000 in 1996, and
$810,000 for the period from January 26, 1990 (inception) to December
31, 1996 on the advances was charged to expense and credited to
additional paid-in capital.
In May 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the
Company's President, which extends to April 30, 2004 and provides for
an annual salary of $200,000. If the employment agreement is terminated
by the Company without cause, the President may be entitled to receive
up to eighteen months' salary as severance payment. In consideration of
the termination of a previous employment agreement the Company issued
577,823, 1,155,647 and 1,155,647 shares of Class B, Class E-1 and Class
E-2 common stock, respectively, to the Company's President. In February
2002, the Company entered into a severance agreement with the Company's
President who resigned effective January 8, 2002. Based upon the terms
of the severance package, the President will receive a total of
$300,000 paid out through 2004.
Also in May 1996, an officer of the Company was awarded 17,460 shares
of Class B Common Stock and 34,919 shares each of Class E-1 and Class
E-2 Common Stock for services rendered. Compensation cost of $31,000
was charged to expense in 1996 based on the fair value of the stock
awarded by reference to an independent appraisal.
In March 2001, we entered into a consulting agreement to issue a 6%
nondilutable interest in the Company to a group of consultants, three
of whom later became members of our Board of Directors. We issued
845,678 shares of Class A Common Stock at that time with a fair value
of $344,000 in exchange for consulting services provided. In October
2001, this agreement was amended to increase the nondilutable interest
in the Company to be issued to the consultants to 12%.
In addition, one member of the Board of Directors is also an investor
in one of the convertible debenture agreements discussed in Note 4, and
at December 31, 2001 held notes in the principal amount of $360,000.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is generally subject to
claims, complaints, and legal actions. At December 31, 2001, management
believes that the Company is not a party to any action which would have
a material impact on its financial condition, operations, or cash
flows.
The Company leases approximately 10 acres of land located on the Long
Beach Airport in Long Beach, California. The lease commenced on January
14, 1998 and has a term of 30 years with an option to renew for an
additional 10 year term. The lease also contains options to lease other
airport properties. The lease contains incremental increases which
escalate the monthly rent to approximately $15,600 after 5 years. The
aggregate minimum payments under the lease have been included in the
table below.
Pursuant to an Agreement dated May 19, 1999, the Company sold its
leasehold interest in real property located at 3205 Lakewood Boulevard,
Long Beach, California, together with the manufacturing hangar facility
(approximately 205,000 square feet) and finished office space
(approximately 22,000 square feet) owned by the Company. The cash
purchase price was $9,800,000. As part of this transaction, the Company
entered into an agreement to sublease the land and lease the
manufacturing hanger facility and finished office space to the Company
for a term of 18 years, plus an option to extend the lease for an
additional 10 years. The $246,000 deferred gain on the sale of the
facility is being amortized over the 18 year lease term.
Effective January 1, 2001, the lessor of the building amended the
payment terms of the lease to include escalating payments through June
1, 2008, after which the payments escalate according to Consumer Price
Index (CPI) increases. As a result of the change in payment terms, the
cost of the building and the capital lease obligation were increased by
$3,200,000, increasing the cost value of the building to $13,000,000,
which approximated fair value at the time of the amendment. As the fair
value was less than the present value of the amended future minimum
lease payments, the total amount recorded including this adjustment was
limited to the fair value of the building, as required by SFAS No. 13,
ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES.
During 2000, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement for a
new computer system. As required under the agreement, the Company
purchased certificates of deposit amounting to $405,000. These
certificates are being used as collateral under the lease, and as such,
have been recorded as restricted cash in the accompanying financial
statements.
Future minimum lease payments applicable to non-cancelable operating
leases and capital leases as of December 31, 2001, are as follows:

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Upon formation of the Company, an aircraft prototype and related
proprietary technology were contributed by Aerodynamics and Structures,
Inc. ("ASI") in exchange for 2,500,764 of the Company's common shares
with a fair value of $250,000. In connection with this exchange, the
Company also assumed ASI's liabilities of approximately $400,000. Three
other individuals contributed technical information in exchange for
1,113,740 of the Company's common shares with a fair value of $111,000.
Such technology and prototype acquired were immediately expensed as
in-process research and development. Finally, certain investors
contributed $7,500,000 in cash in exchange for 7,500,000 shares of
convertible preferred stock of the Company. ASI was subsequently
liquidated and its sole asset, investment in the Company's common
shares, was distributed to ASI's stockholders. Upon reincorporation of
the Company, the Company's aforementioned common and preferred shares
were converted into approximately 619,588, 1,239,177 and 1,239,177
shares, respectively, of Class B, Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock.
During 1996 the Company successfully completed its initial public
offering of 6,900,000 units including exercise of the over allotment
option. Each unit sold is composed of one share of Class A common
stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant. The net proceeds of
the offering of $30,411,000 were used to finance the continued
development, manufacture and marketing of its product to achieve
commercial viability. Additionally, in February of 1998 a shareholder
of the Company converted 99,676 shares of Class B Common Stock to
99,676 shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion resulted in an
increase in Class A Common Stock to 6,999,676 and a decrease in the
number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock to 1,900,324.
The rights and privileges of holders of Class A, Class B, Class E-1 and
Class E-2 Common Stock are substantially the same on a share-for-share
basis, except that: (i) the holder of each outstanding share of Class A
Common Stock is entitled to one vote and the holder of each outstanding
share of Class B, Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock is entitled to
five votes; and (ii) Class B Common Stock cannot be transferred or sold
for thirteen months following the effective date of the initial public
offering, after which time the Class B Common Stock may be converted at
any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Common
Stock.
All shares of Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock ("Performance
Shares") are not transferable or assignable and may be converted into
shares of Class B Common Stock in the event income before provision for
income taxes, exclusive of any extraordinary earnings or losses,
reaches certain targets over the next seven years, or if the market
price of the Class A Common Stock reaches specified levels over the
next three years. With respect to targeted earnings, Class E-1 Common
Stock shares may be converted if pretax income exceeds $45.0 million in
2002 and $56.0 million in 2003. Class E-2 Common Stock shares may be
converted if pretax income exceeds, $56.3 million in 2002 or $69.5
million in 2003. With respect to market price levels, the Class E-1
Common Stock shares may be converted if, commencing 18 months after
December 3, 1996 and ending 36 months thereafter, the bid price of the
Company's Class A Common Stock averages $18.50 per share for 30
consecutive business days. Class E-2 Common Stock shares may be
converted if commencing 18 months after December 3, 1996 and ending 36
months thereafter, the bid price of the Company's Class A Common Stock
averages in excess of $23.00 for 30 consecutive business days. All
Performance Shares that have not been converted by March 31, 2004 may
be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per share. For accounting purposes,
the Performance Shares are treated in a manner similar to a variable
stock option award. As a consequence, a compensation charge will be
recorded in an amount equal to the then fair value of any Performance
Shares that are ultimately converted into Class B Common Stock.
F-17
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company granted to
the Underwriter A Unit Purchase Option to purchase up to 600,000 Units
and previously issued bridge warrants were converted into one Class A
Warrant ("Public Warrant") which is identical in all respects to the
Class A Warrant. The fair value of the Bridge Warrants ($473,000),
together with the cost of issuance (approximately $805,000), has been
treated as additional interest expense over the term of the Bridge
Notes. The Units issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option
will, when so issued, be identical to the Units. The Unit Purchase
Option cannot be transferred, sold, assigned or hypothecated for three
years, except to any officer of the Underwriter or member of the
selling group or their officers. The Unit Purchase Option is
exercisable during the two-year period commencing three years from
December 6, 1996 at an exercise price of $6.50 per Unit (130% of the
initial public offering price) subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances. The holders of the Unit Purchase Option have certain
demand and piggyback registration rights.
The Class A Warrants issued in connection with the Company's initial
public offering in 1996, entitle the holder to purchase one share of
Class A Common Stock and one Class B Warrant. Each Class B Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock.
Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants may be exercised at an exercise
price of $6.50 and $8.75, respectively, at anytime. The warrants
originally expired on December 3, 2001, but have been extended through
May 31, 2002. Currently Class A Warrants are subject to redemption by
the Company, upon 30 days written notice, at a price of $.05 per
Warrant, if the average closing bid price of the Class A Common Stock
for any 30 consecutive trading days ending within 15 days of the date
on which the notice of redemption is given shall have exceeded $12.00
per share. Currently Class B Warrants are subject to redemption by the
Company upon 30 days' written notice, at a price of $.05 per warrant,
if the average closing bid price of the Class A Common Stock for any 30
consecutive trading days ending within 15 days of the date on which the
notice of redemption is given shall exceed $15.00 per share.
PREFERRED STOCK
As of December 31, 2001, the Company received $8,265,000 in net cash
proceeds related to a preferred stock agreement to issue up to 100,000
shares of 5% Cumulative Convertible Series A Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock") with a stated value of $100 per share and Common
Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock, for the
aggregated purchase price of $10 million. The Company issued 91,085
shares of Preferred Stock with a stated value of $9,108,500 and
detachable warrants to purchase 1,082,000 shares of common stock and
paid $843,000 in commissions and legal fees. Of the total amount issued
to date, 11,285 shares of Preferred Stock with a stated value of
$1,128,500, and detachable warrants to purchase 128,310 shares of
common stock were issued during the year ended December 31, 2001 The
remaining $891,500 in Preferred Stock funding will not occur until
certain criteria have been met.
Additionally, as consideration for the transaction, placement warrants
to purchase up to 1,688,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued.
Of the amount issued to date, 926,000 were issued in the year ended
December 31, 2001. Fair values of $1,231,000 and $987,000 for the
detachable warrants and the placement warrants, respectively, were
included in stockholders' deficiency and were netted as a discount to
the Preferred Stock. The warrants are exercisable in installments and
the terms for the placement warrants are similar to the terms of the
detachable warrants issued with the Preferred Stock. The fair value for
these warrants was estimated at the dates of grant using a
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.68% to 6.43%; dividend
yields of 0%; a volatility factor of .566 to .915 and an expected life
of the warrants of 3 years.
The Preferred Stock was issued with various conversion prices. This
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the effective
conversion price was below market at the time of the issuance. The
discount on the Preferred Stock of $536,000 was immediately amortized
to Accumulated Deficit, as the preferred stockholders were able to
convert to common stock immediately upon issuance of the Preferred
Stock. Of the total amount amortized, $194,000 was amortized in the
year ended December 31, 2001.
F-18
Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends,
payable quarterly and have preferential liquidation rights above all
other issuances of Common Stock for an amount equal to the stated
value. The Preferred Stock and unpaid dividends are convertible into
shares of Common Stock equal to an amount determined by the market
value at the date of close of the common stock, adjusted for changes in
the market price prior to the conversion. The preferred stockholder
does not have voting rights. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has
dividends in arrears for the Preferred Stock totaling $336,000 or $7.20
per share.
As of December 31, 2001, various preferred stockholders converted a
total of 44,000 shares plus dividends in arrears into 16,825,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock. No warrants have been exercised as of December
31, 2001.
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
On August 15, 2000, the Company signed a Private Equity Line of Credit
Agreement ("Equity Line") to sell up to $20,000,000 of Common Stock
over the course of two years. This Equity Line enables the Company to
request, at the Company's sole discretion, that the investors purchase
certain amounts of shares every 15 days at a price equal to 92% or 93%
of the market price. Each request will be for a minimum of $200,000 and
subject to a maximum of $1,500,000. Additional drawings on this Equity
Line are dependent upon stock market conditions. The Company sold a
total of 5,707,000 shares under the Equity Agreements with a total net
proceeds of $2,393,000, of which 4,455,000 shares under the Equity
Agreement were sold for net cash proceeds of $1,172,000 as of December
31, 2001.
In connection with the Equity Line transactions, warrants to purchase
4,269,000 shares of Common Stock over the next three years, at a stock
price as defined in each agreement, were issued. The fair value related
to these warrants of $632,000 has been included in stockholders' equity
and no warrants have been exercised as of December 31, 2001. The fair
value of these warrants was estimated on the date of issuance using a
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:
Transaction Risk-Free Dividend Volatility Expected

The Company has reserved approximately 182,000,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock for future issuance for the following conversions:
1,900,000 shares issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock
currently outstanding; 8,000,000 shares issuable upon the conversion of
Class E Common Stock; 27,700,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of
purchase warrants; 4,000,000 shares issuable under the Stock Option
Plan, 20,282,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
Preferred Stock, 33,386,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of the
detachable warrants and placements warrants, 4,269,000 shares issuable
upon the exercise or warrants issued in connection with the Equity Line
and 82,538,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
Convertible Debentures.

11. STOCK OPTIONS
In July 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the grant of incentive
and non-qualified stock options to certain employees, officers,
directors, consultants, and agents of the Company. Under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan, the Company may grant options with respect to a total of
500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Subsequent Stock Option Plans
were approved in 1998 and 2000, authorizing the Company to grant
additional options for up to 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Options under the 1996, 1998 and 2000 Plans are to be granted at not
less than fair market value, vest in equal annual installments over
five years and may be exercised for a period of one to 10 years as
determined by the Board of Directors.
In April 2001, the Board of Directors approved the 2001 Stock Option
Plan (the "2001 Plan"). Under the 2001 Plan, the Company may grant
options with respect to a total of 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock. Options under the 2001 Plan are to be granted at not less than
fair market value, vest in equal annual installments over four years
and may be exercised for a period of one to 10 years as determined by
the Board of Directors.
Transactions under the Stock Option Plans during the year ended
December 31, 2000 and 2001 are summarized as follows:
WEIGHTED
AVERAGE
EXERCISE
SHARES PRICE
------------ ------------
Outstanding at December 31, 1999 588,000 $ 5.00
Granted -- --
Exercised -- --
Canceled (74,000) 5.00
Outstanding at December 31, 2000 514,000 5.00
Granted 878,000 .50
Exercised -- --
Canceled (70,000) 2.43
------------ ------------
Outstanding at December 31, 2001 1,322,000 $ 2.15
============ ============
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2001 was
$0.23, per option. The weighted average exercise price for 2000 and
2001 was $5.00 and $0.50, respectively. The weighted average remaining
contractual life of options outstanding is 7.06 years and 8.06 years
for 2000 and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and 2001,
268,000 and 570,500 options were exercisable at a weighted average
exercise price of $5.00 per option. At December 31, 2001, options to
purchase 2,297,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were available for
future grants under the 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2001 Plans.
If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the
fair value of the options granted at the grant date as prescribed by
SFAS No. 123, net loss and net loss per share would have been increased
to the pro forma amounts shown below:
Years Ended December 31,
2000 2001
------------- -------------
Pro forma net loss $(10,936,000) $(21,365,000)
Pro forma net loss per share $(1.24) $(0.71)
F-20
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 6.81% and
4.89% for 2000 and 2001, respectively, dividend yields of 0% for 2000
and 2001; volatility factors of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of .863 and .915 for 2000 and 2001,
respectively, and a weighted average expected life of the option of 10
years and 4 years for 2000 and 2001, respectively.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the
expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock
options have characteristics significantly different from those of
traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion,
the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of employee stock options.
12. NON-RECURRING EXPENSES
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded
approximately $3,823,000 of non-recurring expenses. These expenses were
primarily the result of: a write-off of capitalized tooling costs of
approximately $2,082,000; a write-off of capitalized engineering
software of approximately $723,000; and an accrual of approximately
$1,018,000 related to commitments to purchase special orders from
certain vendors. The Company believes the capitalized tooling and
engineering software have no future use to the Company due to the
change in the Company's business strategy and the re-design of its
major product, the JETCRUZER 500. The accrual to vendors represents
costs incurred by vendors in the production of items specifically
related to the JETCRUZER 500 with no alternative saleable value to the
vendors.
13. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS
On August 5, 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement in
connection with industrial development bonds (IDB) issued by the
California Economic Development Financing Authority. The Company has
established in the trustee's favor a bank letter of credit for the
principle amount of $8,500,000 plus 45 days accrued interest on the
bonds, which is secured by $8,500,000 of Company restricted cash. The
bonds mature August 1, 2027 at which time all outstanding amounts
become due and payable. The Company has used the proceeds for the IDBs
to finance the construction and installation of the 200,000 square foot
manufacturing facility and related manufacturing equipment which the
Company moved into on November 16, 1998. On June 1, 1999, the Company
retired all the industrial development bonds using the restricted cash
previously held as security for the IDB.
14. BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) savings plan with a profit sharing provision,
covering substantially all full time employees. The Company may make
discretionary contributions to the Plan as authorized by the Board of
Directors. The Company has not made any profit sharing contributions to
the Plan.
15. PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company calculates basic net loss per share as required by SFAS No.
128, "EARNINGS PER SHARE." Basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities, and
is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic loss per share:
F-21
2000 2001
------------- -------------
Numerator
Loss before extraordinary item $(10,715,000) $(21,164,000)
Amortization of Discount on Preferred Stock (620,000) (361,000)
Dividend in Arrears (246,000) (336,000)
------------- -------------
Numerator for basic loss per share $(11,581,000) $(21,861,000)
============= =============
Denominator
Weighted average shares of Class B Shares 1,900,000 1,900,000
Weighted average shares of Class A Shares 7,268,000 28,110,000
------------- -------------
Denominator for basic loss per share 9,168,000 30,010,000
------------- -------------
Basic loss per share $(1.26) $(0.73)
============= =============
There is no difference between the loss per common share amounts
computed for basic and dilutive purposes because the impact of
convertible debt and preferred stock, options and warrants would be
anti-dilutive.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 6, 2002 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Antonio, Texas,
approved an operating agreement, which allows the Company to manage
Mooney while a plan of reorganization was prepared for approval. Mooney
has operated under the protection of Chapter 11 bankruptcy since July
2001.
On February 8, 2002, the Company purchased Congress Financial
Corporation's position (the "Congress Position") as senior secured
creditor for Mooney. Under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the purchase price paid by the Company in connection with
the acquisition of the Congress Position was $8,000,000 with $3,500,000
paid in cash and $4,500,000 payable in secured notes. Each note is
secured by substantially all the assets acquired from Congress
Corporation. As additional security for the Company's compliance with
the fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement and the acquisition notes, the Company delivered
to Congress Corporation a Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note for
$5,700,000. This note is a contingent note, payable only in the event
that the Company defaults under the terms of the original acquisition
notes.
On March 18, 2002, the bankruptcy courts approved the sale of Mooney's
assets to the Company, which is expected to close in April 2002. Mooney
produces top of the line, single engine piston airplanes including the
Eagle, the Ovation2, and the Bravo, which are the performance leaders
in the four-passenger single engine aircraft market. For over 50 years,
the Company has produced high performance piston aircraft, which are
considered by many to be the "best of breed" in the owner-flown
aircraft market. There are more than 10,000 Mooney aircraft in
operation around the world.
Additionally, the Company has entered into discussions with Century
Aerospace Corporation concerning acquisition of the rights to
manufacture the Century Jet, one of the exciting new entrants in the
"micro-jet" market. The Century Jet is a revolutionary new business jet
that could be priced more than $1,000,000 below the current least
expensive business jet, setting a new benchmark for low cost business
travel by private aircraft and providing a cost effective alternative
to airline travel for small and medium-sized businesses.
On February 27, 2002, the Company completed three financing
transactions for total proceeds of $5,734,000 and incurred financing
costs of $184,000. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to
acquire the Congress Position as secured creditor for Mooney Aircraft
and to fund current operations.
F-22
The Company issued $2,250,000 in 8% Secured Convertible Notes under the
October 26, 2001 placement offering in which $3,000,000 was available
to the Company for additional financing. The Notes are convertible
after 120 days into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion
price of $.35 or 70% of the average of the three lowest closing bid
prices for the Company's Common Stock for the thirty days prior to
conversion. The maturity date of the Notes is October 26, 2006.
Attached to the Notes were warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares
of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The first 50% of the warrants
may be exercised after 45 days at a price of $.25 whereas the remaining
50% of the warrants may be exercised at $.30. The expiration date of
the warrants is January 30, 2007.
The Company issued $1,329,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes as part
of the October 26, 2001 Put Agreement in which the Company had the
option to sell up to an additional $5,000,000 in Convertible Notes. The
Notes are convertible after 120 days into shares of Class A Common
Stock under the same terms as the October 26, 2001 placement offering
described above. The maturity date of the notes is October 26, 2006.
Attached to the Notes were warrants to purchase 2,658,000 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock. The warrants may be exercised under the
same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26,
2001 placement offering described above.
The Company issued $2,155,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes as part
of a new placement offering dated January 30, 2002. The Notes are
convertible after 120 days into shares of Class A Common Stock under
the same terms of the October 26, 2001 placement offering described
above. The maturity date of the notes is October 26, 2006. Attached to
the Notes were warrants to purchase 4,310,000 shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock. The warrants may be exercised under the same
terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26, 2001
placement.
On March 26, 2002, the Company issued $1,450,000 in 8% Unsecured
Convertible Notes in a subsequent closing that was part of the new
private placement dated January 30, 2002. The notes are convertible
after 120 days into shares of Class A Common Stock under the same terms
as the October 26, 2001 private placement. The maturity date of the
notes is October 26, 2006. Attached to the notes were warrants to
purchase 2,900,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. The warrants may
be exercised under the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction
with the October 26, 2001 private placement.

MOONEY AEROSPACE GROUP, LTD.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
Upon approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders, Advanced
Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. ("AASI") filed with the State of Delaware to
change its name. On July 23, 2002, AASI obtained approval from the State of
Delaware to change its name from Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. to
Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd. ("Mooney" or the "Company"). The unaudited
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2002 have been adjusted to
reflect this name change.
In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements include all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments, except for accruals described in Note 7) necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2002 and
the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
2002 and March 31, 2001, respectively, and for the period from January 26, 1990
(inception) to March 31, 2002. Although the Company believes that the
disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be
expected for any other interim period or the full year.
The financial information in these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited December 31, 2001 financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-KSB.
The Company is a development stage enterprise organized in 1990 to
design, develop, manufacture and market general aviation aircraft. At the end of
2001, the Company recognized that a unique opportunity exists in the general
aviation industry today. The Company believes that an opportunity has been
created for the formation of a new general aviation company whose products offer
an alternative to business travel by airline for executives of small- to
medium-sized businesses and high net worth individuals as a result of the
concurrence of the following: (1) reduction of product-liability exposure as a
consequence of the passage of General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994, (2)
the availability of several top of the line general aviation product lines as a
result of the recent recession and changes in strategic direction by several
general aviation aircraft manufacturers, and (3) deteriorating comfort and
convenience of airline travel.
The Company has hired a management team with significant experience in
turning around general aviation manufacturing companies in order to take
advantage of current opportunities. The new management team has already taken
the first step in our strategy by acquiring the assets of Mooney Aircraft
Corporation ("MACorp"). On February 6, 2002 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San
Antonio, Texas, approved an operating agreement, which allows the Company to
manage Mooney while a plan of reorganization was prepared for approval. Mooney
has operated under the protection of Chapter 11 bankruptcy since July 2001.
On February 8, 2002, the Company purchased Congress Financial
Corporation's position (the "Congress Position") as senior secured creditor for
MACorp. Under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the purchase
price paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Congress
Position was $8,000,000 with $3,500,000 paid in cash and $4,500,000 payable in
secured notes. Each note is secured by substantially all the assets acquired
from Congress Corporation. As additional security for the Company's compliance
with the fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement and the acquisition notes, the Company delivered to
Congress Corporation a Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note for $5,700,000.
This note is a contingent note, payable only in the event that the Company
defaults under the terms of the original acquisition notes. In addition, during
the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company has forwarded cash to Mooney of
$158,000 to fund its current operations.
On March 18, 2002, the bankruptcy courts approved the sale of MACorp's
assets to the Company, which was completed on April 24, 2002. MACorp produced
top of the line, single engine piston airplanes including the Eagle, the
Ovation2, and the Bravo, which are the performance leaders in the four-passenger
single engine aircraft market. For over 50 years, MACorp has produced high
performance piston aircraft, which are considered by many to be the "best of
breed" in the owner-flown aircraft market. There are more than 10,000 MACorp
aircraft in operation around the world.
F-31
MACorp's assets will be held by a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary,
Mooney Airplane Company, Inc. ("MAC").
The Company plans to pursue the acquisition of other complementary
general aviation product lines and development programs as they become
available. The new management team has suspended significant spending on the
Jetcruzer, and will review how best to capitalize on the completed development
work.
2. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 is effective for any business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001 and SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill deemed to have
indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142
on January 1, 2002. The adoption did not have an effect on the earnings and
financial position of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31,
2002. The Company has not yet determined what the effect of the adoption of
these pronouncements related to the acquisition of Mooney on April 24, 2002 will
be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.
However, SFAS No. 144 retains certain fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121
including recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to
be held and used; and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption did
not have an effect on the earnings and financial position of the Company as of
and for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company's net loss per common share was computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three
month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and excludes all outstanding shares
of Class E-1 and Class E-2 Common Stock because the conditions for the lapse of
restrictions on such shares have not been satisfied. There is no difference
between the loss per common share amounts computed for basic and dilutive
purposes because the impact of convertible preferred stock, options and warrants
outstanding are anti-dilutive.
4. NOTES PAYABLE
As discussed in Note 1, on February 8, 2002 the Company entered into an
agreement with Congress Financial to acquire their position as a senior secured
creditor of Mooney for $8,000,000. Of this amount, $3,500,000 of the purchase
price was paid in cash, and $4,500,000 was paid in secured notes with the
following terms: (1) a Secured Promissory Note for $500,000, with an interest
rate of 2% percent per annum in excess of the prime rate, interest payments
being due the first day of each month starting with February 1, 2002 and the
full amount of $500,000 due on July 29, 2002, (2) a Secured Promissory Note for
$2,500,000, with an interest rate of 2% percent per annum in excess of the prime
rate with principal and interest payments of $208,333 being due in twelve
consecutive calendar quarterly installments commencing April 1, 2002 and, (3) a
Secured Promissory Note for $1,500,000, with an interest rate of 2% percent per
annum in excess of the prime rate, with interest payments being due on the first
business day of each calendar quarter commencing on July 1, 2004 with the
principal being due January 29, 2007. These notes are secured by substantially
all the assets acquired from Congress.
As additional security for our compliance with the fulfillment of our
obligations to Congress, there is a Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note for
$5,700,000. This note is a contingent note, payable in the event that we default
under the payment terms of the other notes. This note is also secured by
substantially all the assets acquired from Congress.
F-32
5. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On March 27, 2001, the Company obtained new financing of up to
$5,000,000, with an availability of up to an additional $3,000,000. The
additional amount becomes available after certain criteria have been met, as
defined in the agreement. The Company issued $4,100,000 in Secured Convertible
Notes ("Notes" or "Debentures") with an interest rate of 5% to accredited
investors, as defined by Regulation D issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. On July 25, 2001, the Company
issued an additional $1,000,000 in Notes under this agreement. In conjunction
with the financing, the Company issued an additional $410,000 in Secured
Convertible Notes as finders fees. As part of the agreement the Company also
issued warrants to purchase 10,254,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price ranging from approximately $.24 to $.45 per share. The Company filed a
proxy statement and Form S-3 Registration Statement as required by the terms of
the agreement. There is a mandatory redemption requirement at 125% of the unpaid
principal balance and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of default or if we
are prohibited from issuing shares of common stock. Additionally, the Company
may put the additional notes to the note holders upon meeting certain covenants
related to the availability of trading of the stock, trading volume and market
price and other milestones.
The March 27, 2001 Debentures were issued with various stated
conversion prices, all of which were below market at the time of issuance. The
discount of $3,345,000 which resulted from these transactions, will be amortized
over the life of the Debentures. For the three months ended March 31, 2002,
$613,000 is being amortized to interest expense, due to the passage of time and
conversions into shares of common stock.
At March 31, 2002, the Company is in default of one of the covenants of
the agreement for failure to pay accrued interest within 10 days of March 31,
2002. Due to the default, we are required to accrue interest on the notes at an
annual rate of 10%. In accordance with the agreement, the Company has accrued
approximately $223,000 in interest due on the Note at March 31, 2002. The
Company has not obtained waivers from the note holders waiving their right to
call the notes due or the payment of outstanding interest, nor has any note
holder the company to elect to redeem their notes. Due to the event of default,
the Company has recorded all notes outstanding as a current liability in the
balance sheet.
On June 27, 2001, the Company obtained new financing of $1,000,000,
which is separate from that of March 27, 2001, described above. The Company
issued $1,000,000 in a Convertible Note ("Note" or "Debenture") with an interest
rate of 5% to an accredited investor, as defined by Regulation D issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. As part of
the agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,646,000 shares of
common stock at a purchase price of $.22 per share. There is a mandatory
redemption requirement at 125% of the unpaid principal balance and unpaid
interest upon the occurrence of default or if the Company is prohibited from
issuing shares of common stock. The Company did not register the shares issuable
upon conversion within 30 days of the closing date which is a non-registration
event pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Subscription Agreement. In accordance with
this section, the Company has accrued $134,000 representing liquidation damages
due to the note holder as a result of the non-registration event. Such damages
are calculated at an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount issued per 30
days or part thereof, and 2% for each 30 days or part thereof, during the
pendency of the non-registration event.
The June 27, 2001 debenture was issued with a various stated conversion
price, which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the effective
conversion price was below market at the time of the issuance. The discount of
$351,000 which resulted from this transaction, will be amortized over the life
of the debenture. During the three months ended March 31, 2002 approximately
$26,000 was amortized to interest expense. No notes issued under this agreement
were converted as of March 31, 2002.
At March 31, 2002, the Company was in default of one of the covenants
of the June 27, 2001 agreement for failure to pay accrued interest when due. Due
to the default, the Company is required to accrue the interest due at 10%. In
accordance with the agreement, the Company has accrued approximately $76,000 in
interest due on the notes at March 31, 2002. The Company has not obtained a
waiver from the note holder waiving its right to call the notes due or the
payment of the outstanding interest, nor has the note holder elected to redeem
its notes outstanding according to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. Due
to the event of default, the Company has recorded this note outstanding as a
current liability in the balance sheet.
F-33
On October 26, 2001, the Company obtained a new financing of up to
$10,000,000 with an availability of up to an additional $3,000,000, as part of a
private placement offering, which is separate from that of March 27, 2001 and
June 27, 2001. The Company issued $7,750,000 in Secured Convertible Notes
("Notes" or "Debentures") with an interest rate of 8% to accredited investors,
as defined by Regulation D issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933. In conjunction with the financing, the Company
issued an additional $667,000 in Secured Convertible Notes as finders fees. As
part of the agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 17,714,000 shares
of Common Stock. Half of the warrants may be exercised at a purchase price of
$.25 per share. The remaining 50% may be exercised at $.30 per share. There is a
mandatory redemption requirement at 125% of the unpaid principal balance and
unpaid interest upon the occurrence of default or if the Company is prohibited
from issuing shares of common stock. The Company did not register the shares
issuable upon conversion within 60 days of the closing date, which is a
non-registration event pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Subscription Agreement.
In accordance with this section, the Company has accrued $449,000 representing
liquidation damages due to the note holders as a result of the non-registration
event. Such damages are calculated at an amount equal to 1% of the principal
amount issued per 30 days, for the first 30 days or part thereof, and 2% for
each 30 days or part thereof, during the pendency of the non-registration event.
The Company has recorded the debentures as a current liability.
In conjunction with the October 26, 2001 private placement, the Company
entered into a Put Agreement with a group of its investors who hold convertible
notes and Preferred Stock. Under the Put Agreement, the Company may sell up to
an additional $5,000,000 in convertible notes and warrants. The Company's right
to exercise this option expires October 25, 2002. No options have been exercised
as of March 31, 2002.
The October 26, 2001 Debentures were issued with various stated
conversion prices, which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the
conversion price was below market at the time of issuance. The discount of
$5,936,000, which resulted from this transaction, will be amortized over the
life of the debentures. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2002,
approximately $282,000 was amortized to interest expense due to the passage of
time. No notes issued under this agreement were converted during the three-month
period March 31, 2002.
At March 31, 2002, the Company was in default of one of the covenants
of the October 26, 2001 agreement for failure to pay accrued interest when due.
Due to the default, the Company is required to accrue interest due at 10%. In
accordance with the agreement, the Company has accrued approximately $360,000 in
interest due the note holders at March 31, 2002. The Company has not obtained a
waiver from the note holder, waiving their right to call the notes due or the
payment of the outstanding interest, nor have the note holder, elected to redeem
their notes outstanding according to the terms of the Subscription Agreement.
Due to the event of default, the Company has recorded this note outstanding as a
current liability in the balance sheet.
On February 27, 2002, the Company completed three financing
transactions for total proceeds of $5,734,000 and incurred financing costs of
$184,000. The net proceeds of these transactions were used to make the cash
payment to Congress in Note 1 and to fund current operations. In the first of
the three financing transactions, the Company issued $2,250,000 in 8% Secured
Convertible Notes under the October 26, 2001, private placement in which
$3,000,000 was available to us for additional financing. In conjunction with the
financing, the Company issued an additional $225,000 in Unsecured Convertible
Notes as finder's fees. The notes are convertible after 120 days into shares of
common stock at a conversion price of $.35 or 70% of the average of the three
lowest closing bid prices for our common stock for the thirty days prior to
conversion. The maturity date of the notes is October 26, 2006 and interest is
due on September 30, 2002 and semi-annually thereafter. Attached to the notes
were warrants to purchase 5,143,000 shares of common stock. The first 50% of the
warrants may be exercised after 45 days at a price of $.25 per share and the
remaining 50% may be exercised at $.30 per share. The warrants may be exercised
under the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26,
2001, private placement.
In the second of the three financing transactions, the Company issued
$1,329,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes as part of the October 26, 2001 Put
Agreement in which there is an option to sell up to an additional $5,000,000 in
convertible notes. In conjunction with the financing, the Company issued an
additional $133,000 in Unsecured Convertible Notes as finder's fees. The notes
are convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock under the same terms
as the October 26, 2001 private placement, except that there is no security
involved. The maturity date of the notes is October 26, 2006. Attached to the
notes were warrants to purchase 3,037,000 shares of common stock. The warrants
may be exercised under the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with
the October 26, 2001, private placement.
In the third of the three financing transactions, the Company issued
$2,155,000 in 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes as part of a new private placement
dated January 30, 2002. In conjunction with the financing, the Company issued an
additional $117,000 in Unsecured Convertible Notes as finders' fees. The Notes
are convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock under the same terms
as the October 26, 2001 private placement. The maturity date of the notes is
October 26, 2006. Attached to the notes were warrants to purchase 4,926,000
shares of Class A Common Stock. The warrants may be exercised under the same
terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26, 2001 private
placement.
F-34
The February 27, 2002 debentures were issued with various stated
conversion prices, which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the
conversion price was below market at the time of issuance. The resulting
discount of $3,385,000 is being amortized over the life of the debentures. As of
March 31, 2002, approximately $124,000 was amortized to interest expenses due to
the passage of time. No notes issued under this agreement were converted during
the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Additionally, on March 26, 2002, the Company issued $1,450,000 in 8%
Unsecured Convertible Notes that was part of the new private placement dated
January 30, 2002. In conjunction with the closing, the Company issued an
additional $145,000 in Unsecured Convertible Notes as finder's fees. The notes
are convertible after 120 days into shares of common stock under the same terms
as the October 26, 2001 private placement. The maturity date of the notes is
October 26, 2006 with interest being due on September 30, 2002 and semi-annually
thereafter. Attached to the notes were warrants to purchase 3,314,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock. The warrants may be exercised under the same terms as the
warrants issued in conjunction with the October 26, 2001 private placement.
The March 26, 2002 debentures were issued with stated conversion
prices, which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the conversion
price was below market at the time of issuance. The resulting discount of
$988,000 is being amortized over the life of the debentures. As of March 31,
2002, approximately $3,000 was amortized to interest expense due to the passage
of time. No notes issued under this agreement were converted during the three
months ended March 31, 2002.
As of March 31, 2002, various note holders converted a total of $
3,217,000 of Convertible Debentures into 22,101,119 shares of Class A Common
Stock.
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK
Through March 31, 2002, the Company has issued 91,085 shares and
received $8,265,000 (net on $843,000 in commissions and legal fees) related to a
preferred stock agreement to issue up to 100,000 shares of 5% Cumulative
Convertible Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") with a stated value of
$100 per share and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase Class A Common
Stock, for the aggregated purchase price of $10 million. The Company has
outstanding 42,371 shares of Preferred Stock with a stated value of $4,237,100
and detachable warrants to purchase 1,082,000 shares of common stock. No
Preferred Stock was issued during the three months ended March 31, 2002. The
remaining $891,500 in Preferred Stock funding will not occur until certain
criteria have been met.
Additionally, as consideration for the transaction, placement warrants
to purchase up to 1,688,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued. Fair
values of $1,231,000 and $987,000 for the detachable warrants and the placement
warrants, respectively, were included in stockholders' deficiency and were
netted as a discount to the Preferred Stock. The warrants are exercisable in
installments and the terms for the placement warrants are similar to the terms
of the detachable warrants issued with the Preferred Stock. The fair value for
these warrants was estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates
of 4.68% to 6.43%; dividend yields of 0%; a volatility factor of .566 to .915
and an expected life of the warrants of 3 years.
The Preferred Stock was issued with various conversion prices. This
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature since the effective conversion price
was below market at the time of the issuance. The discount on the Preferred
Stock of $536,000 was immediately recorded to Accumulated Deficit, as the
preferred Stockholders were able to convert to common stock immediately upon
issuance of the Preferred Stock. Of the total amount amortized at March 31,
2002, $36,000 was amortized in the three month period ended March 31, 2002.
Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends,
payable quarterly and have preferential liquidation rights above all other
issuances of common stock for an amount equal to the stated value. The Preferred
Stock and unpaid dividends are convertible into shares of common stock equal to
an amount determined by the market value of the common share at the date of
close, adjusted for changes in the market price prior to the conversion.
Preferred stockholder's do not have voting rights. As of March 31, 2002, the
Company had dividends in arrears for the Preferred Stock totaling $ 28,606 or $
8.60 per share.
F-35
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, various preferred
stockholders had converted a total of 4,277 shares plus dividends in arrears
into 2,835,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. No warrants have been exercised
as of March 31, 2002.
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
On August 15, 2000, we signed a Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement
("Equity Line") to sell up to $20,000,000 of Common stock over the course of two
years. This Equity Line enables us to request, at the Company's sole discretion,
that the investors purchase certain amounts of shares every 15 days at a price
equal to 92% or 93% of the market price. Each request will be for a minimum of
$200,000 and subject to a maximum of $1,500,000. Additional drawings on this
Equity Line are dependent upon stock market conditions. As of December 31, 2001,
the Company had 5,707,000 shares outstanding under the Equity Agreements with a
total net proceeds of $2,393,000. No shares under the equity line were sold
during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002.
In connection with the Equity Line transactions, warrants to purchase
4,269,000 shares of common stock over the next three years, at a stock price as
defined in each agreement, were issued. The fair value related to these warrants
of $632,000 has been included in stockholders' deficiency and no warrants have
been exercised as of March 31, 2002. The fair value of these warrants was
estimated on the date of issuance using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:
Transaction Exercise Risk-Free Dividend Volatility Expected
Date Price Interest Yield Factor Life
-------------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- --------
August 15, 2000 $3.15 6.12% 0% .855 3
May 1, 2001 $.32-$1.20 4.68% 0% .915 3
7. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EXPENSES
The Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Carl
Chen, resigned effective January 8, 2002. He will remain available as needed for
consulting with the Company on a mutually agreed upon basis. The Company has
agreed to pay Dr. Chen severance of $300,000 over the next two years.
Additionally, he will receive two million warrants at an exercise price of
$.25. At March 31, 2002, $100,000 of the cash severance has been paid. At that
date, the Company has accrued compensation expense of $520,000, representing the
remaining $200,000 cash payment plus the estimated fair value of the warrants to
be issued.
Additionally, the Company is executing three-year employment agreements
with four executives dated January 8, 2002. On a ratable basis over the
three-year period, the executives will vest a total of 12% ownership in the
Company. At March 31, 2002, the Company has accrued $196,000 in compensation
expense representing the estimated fair market value of the vested ownership at
the date.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 11, 2002, the Company issued $950,000 in 8% Unsecured
Convertible Notes in a subsequent closing that was part of the private placement
dated January 30, 2002. The notes are convertible after 120 days into shares of
common stock under the same terms as the October 26, 2001 private placement. The
maturity date of the notes is October 26, 2006. Attached to the notes were
warrants to purchase 1,900,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants may be
exercised under the same terms as the warrants issued in conjunction with the
October 26, 2001, private placement.
As described in Note 1, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Mooney Aircraft Corporation on April 24, 2002 pursuant to an order of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Antonio, Texas, signed on March 18, 2002, which
approved the sale.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Responsible Person
Mooney Aircraft Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mooney Aircraft Corporation
(the "Corporation") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Mooney Aircraft Corporation at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Mooney
Aircraft Corporation will continue as a going concern. As more fully described
in Note 2, the Corporation has incurred operating losses and has a working
capital deficiency. In addition, the Corporation has historically not complied
with certain covenants of bank loan agreements. The Corporation has also filed a
voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Code in United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Corporation's ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Mooney Aircraft Corporation (Debtor-in-Possession)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001 and 2000
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
On January 31, 1998, Mooney Aircraft Corporation (the "Corporation") issued
$2,500,000 of additional cumulative, redeemable preferred stock which was
converted to common stock with the previously issued preferred stock outstanding
at December 31, 1997. This conversion resulted in AVAQ Group, Inc. ("AVAQ")
having control of 80% of the Corporation's outstanding common stock. The
remaining 20% of the Corporation's outstanding common stock was owned by Mooney
Holding Corporation ("MHC"), the Corporation's parent as of December 31, 1997,
until March 12, 2001 when AVAQ acquired the remaining 20% from MHC.
On July 27, 2001 (the "Petition Date"), the Corporation filed a petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 ("Chapter 11") of Title 11 of the United States
Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Texas ("Court" or "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 case is being
administered by the Court, with the Corporation managing its business as a
debtor-in-possession subject to Court approval for certain actions the
Corporation takes.
Under the Chapter 11 proceedings, actions by creditors to collect claims in
existence at the Petition Date ("prepetition") are stayed ("deferred"), absent
specific Court authorization to pay such claims, while the Corporation continues
to manage its business as a debtor-in-possession. These financial statements
include adjustments and reclassifications that have been made to reflect the
liabilities that have been deferred under the Chapter 11 proceedings. Those
noncurrent liabilities that have been deferred are expected to be settled as
part of a plan or plans of reorganization and are classified as liabilities
subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings. As of June 20, 2002, no
plan of reorganization has been submitted to the Court. Other prepetition
liabilities have been approved by the Court for payment in the ordinary course
of business and are included in the appropriate liability caption on the balance
sheet. Various accounting and business practices have also been adopted that are
applicable to companies operating under Chapter 11. For instance, interest
expense is accrued only for debt that is currently believed to be fully secured.
Some significant executory contracts have been rejected and additional executory
contracts may be rejected or renegotiated during the Chapter 11 proceedings.
F-44
Mooney Aircraft Corporation (Debtor-in-Possession)
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2001 and 2000
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Corporation believes appropriate provisions have been made in the
accompanying financial statements for prepetition claims which are recorded as
liabilities subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings, which
include claims associated with the rejection of certain leases, trade accounts
payable as of the Petition Date, and prepetition general liability claims (see
Note 13). The amounts of the claims filed by some claimants may be significantly
in excess of the related liabilities recorded by the Corporation.
The previous discussion provides general background information regarding the
Chapter 11 case but is not intended to be an exhaustive summary. For additional
information regarding the effect on the Corporation reference should be made to
the Bankruptcy Code.
Nature of Business
The Corporation's business operations include (i) the design and manufacture of
four-place, single-engine, retractable gear aircraft, (ii) sale of spare parts
for Mooney aircraft, (iii) manufacture of aircraft components for other
aerospace companies, and (iv) service and repair of aircraft. Aircraft sales,
both domestic and international, are largely through a Mooney Marketing Center
distribution system. Spare parts are sold worldwide through a Mooney Service
Center distribution system. The manufacture of aircraft components and the
Corporation's service and repair of aircraft are primarily domestic operations.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Corporation recognized revenue on substantially all aircraft sales and parts
and service sales when each of the following four criteria is met: 1) a contract
or sales arrangement exists; 2) products have been shipped or services have been
rendered; 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and
4) collectibility is reasonable assured.
The Corporation also recognizes revenue on aircraft sales under bill-and-hold
transactions when each of the following seven criteria are met: 1) the risk of
ownership has passed to the buyer; 2) the buyer has made a fixed commitment to
purchase the goods; 3) the buyer has requested that the transaction be on a
bill-and-hold basis and has a substantial business purpose for ordering so; 4)
there is a fixed schedule for delivery of the goods and

the delivery date is reasonable and consistent with the buyer's business
practices; 5) the Corporation has not retained any specific performance
obligations such that the earnings process is not complete; 6) the aircraft has
been segregated from the Corporation's inventory and is not subject to being
used to fill other orders; and 7) the aircraft must be complete and ready for
shipment.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. An
obsolescence reserve is estimated for parts whose values have been determined to
be impaired or whose future utility appears limited.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for plant and
equipment, including equipment under capital leases, is computed primarily using
the straight-line method over the estimated economic service lives of the assets
as follows:
Years Years
------------- -------------
Land improvements 10 - 20 Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7
Building and building improvements Tooling 5 - 7
20 - 25 Computer equipment 3 - 5
Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 Experimental aircraft 7 - 10
Advertising Expense
The Corporation expenses its advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses
were approximately $170,000 in 2001 and $845,000 in 2000.
Research and Development Expense
The Corporation incurs costs related to new products, product improvements,
support, and reliability. These costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of tools,
dies, fixtures, etc., with an extended life are capitalized as tooling and
depreciated over their estimated economic service lives.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Warranty
A warranty period of two years is provided for each aircraft sold. Periodically,
the recorded warranty liability is evaluated with consideration given to actual
warranty expense incurred on a historical basis, the volume of products still
under warranty, and the warranty period remaining for those products.
Product Liability
An accrual is provided for product liability expenses on manufactured products.
Periodically, the recorded product liability accrual is evaluated with
consideration given to actual product liability expenses, the number of product
liability claims still outstanding, the severity of the alleged and actual
damages specified in each claim, and the likelihood that actual expenses will be
incurred on each claim.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Environmental Remediation Costs
Expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations are accrued when
such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for estimated
expenses from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no
later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are
adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of
future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted
to their present value.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparison to current year
amounts.

2. Going Concern
The Corporation's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it
is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Corporation's
history of losses, the incurrence of costs related to environmental remediation
(Note 10), its historical noncompliance with certain financial covenants of loan
agreements with financial institutions (Note 3), and the filing of a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas raise concerns
as to its ability to produce continued profitable operations and positive future
cash flows.
The potential costs related to the remediation of and compliance with
environmental issues are being managed to the lowest possible amount pursuant to
regulatory requirements. Due to the timing of some of the environmental
remediation compliance procedures, the Corporation may be unable to meet all of
its operational cash needs (see Note 10).
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of the
bankruptcy proceedings or should the Corporation be unable to continue as a
going concern. The appropriateness of using the going-concern basis for a
company operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code is dependent upon
several factors, including the success of future operations, the ability to
generate sufficient cash from operations and financing to meet its obligations
and, eventually, the confirmation of a plan of reorganization.
Until a plan of reorganization is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and becomes
effective, it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate recoveries
for creditors and stockholders, the length of time the Company will be under the
protection of Chapter 11, the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings in general,
the effects of the proceedings on the business of the Corporation, or the extent
of the negative effects on the interests of the various creditors and
stockholders. While management currently believes the Company has made adequate
provision for the liabilities to be incurred in connection with Chapter 11
claims, there can be no assurance as to the final amount of such liabilities or
the final impact of such liabilities on a confirmed plan of reorganization.

3. Notes Payable and Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility (continued)
The revolving prepetition credit facility provides up to $13,500,000 in
committed credit. The aggregate amount of the credit facility shall not exceed a
calculated Borrowing Base (as defined in the loan and security agreement) based
on inventories and accounts receivable. The Facility contains restrictive
covenants and certain financial ratio covenants including, but not limited to, a
minimum adjusted net worth and a minimum adjusted working capital. At December
31, 2001, the Corporation is in violation of certain financial covenants
covering the revolving credit facility and the term loans and is in default as
the revolving prepetition credit facility and term loans matured in May 2001.
The amount owed under the revolving prepetition credit facility and term loans
exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. Therefore, these balances have
been included with liabilities subject to settlement under reorganization
proceedings (see Note 13). All unsecured notes payable have also been included
with liabilities subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings.
On July 27, 2001, in conjunction with the Corporation's filing under Chapter 11
and under order from the bankruptcy trustee, the Company entered into a
Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement") with the same
financial institution providing the revolving prepetition credit facility. Under
the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Corporation is allowed to borrow
funds based on the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, U.S. trustee, and financial
institution. Borrowings under this arrangement are due on demand, bear interest
at 8.75%, and have priority over all other secured claims.
The fair value of the Corporation's borrowings is not determinable due to the
Chapter 11 proceedings and other factors (see Note 2).
During 2001, one of the lenders forgave accrued interest payable in the amount
of $698,355. This has been included in other income on the statement of
operations.

5. Leases
The Corporation has acquired certain equipment through capital leases. The book
value of the equipment and accumulated amortization related to these assets held
under capital leases are $717,592 and $566,695, respectively, at December 31,
2001 and $862,265 and $412,933, respectively, at December 31, 2000. In 2002, the
Corporation subsequently settled substantially all of the capital leases for an
amount less than what was contractually due. Therefore, capital leases are
classified as current and no portion of future payments is considered to be
interest.
In addition, the Corporation has several operating leases. Rent expense incurred
during 2001 and 2000 was approximately $187,000 and $358,000, respectively. The
following is a schedule of the future minimum payments under noncancelable
operating leases as of December 31, 2001:
2002 $ 38,727
2003 19,848
2004 19,848
2005 16,013
2006 16,013
Thereafter 93,408
Under its Chapter 11 proceedings (see Note 1), the Corporation has the right,
subject to Court approval, to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired
leases. In this context, "assumption" means that the Corporation agrees to
perform its obligation to perform further under the contract or lease but is
subject to a claim of damages for the breach thereof. Therefore, the commitments
shown above may not reflect the actual cash outlay in the future.

6. Federal Income Taxes
For 2001, the Corporation will file a consolidated income tax return with its
parent, AVAQ. For purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been
calculated on a separate-company basis in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109 (FAS 109).
The Corporation records income taxes under FAS 109 using the liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.
The Corporation has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes of approximately $33,520,000 that will expire in years 2005 through
2021. The tax effect of these carryforwards is fully reserved as of December 31,
2001.
The valuation allowance increased (decreased) $1,402,745 and $(96,559) for the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Deferred income taxes result from the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Corporation's
deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
2001 2000
-----------------------------------------------
Deferred tax assets:
Depreciation $ 366,155 $ 343,246
Uniform capitalization adjustment 141,662 174,697
Inventory reserve 501,500 281,219
Bad debts 58,972 15,953

--------------------------------------
Net deferred tax assets $ - $ -
======================================
As a result of the issuance of additional shares of common stock, an ownership
change under Section 382 occurred in January 1998. Accordingly, it is expected
that the use of net operating loss carryforwards generated through January 1998
will be limited to approximately $65,000 annually. Further changes in ownership
may further limit the use of the Corporation's loss carryforwards.
In addition to the Section 382 limitations, uncertainties exist as to the future
utilization of the operating loss carryforwards under the criteria set forth
under FAS 109. Therefore, the Corporation has established a valuation allowance
of $13,179,535 and $11,776,790 for net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively.
The reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax
rates to income tax expense is:

7. Contingencies
The Corporation was partially self-insured for product liability and aircraft
grounding claims and related legal and administrative costs prior to September
1, 1997, and there is remaining coverage from the prior policy. Subsequent to
September 1, 1997, the Corporation has coverage up to $50 million in claims per
policy year. An accrual has been provided for such claims based on management's
best estimate of losses and expenses using historical figures, known incidents,
incidents under investigation or in suit, and discussion with the Corporation's
counsel regarding such incidents. Management believes that amounts accrued are
adequate to cover its potential liability under such claims and that the
ultimate disposition of these claims will have no material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Corporation; however, the
ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be determined.
8. 401(k) Plan
The Corporation has a defined contribution retirement plan ("401(k) Plan")
covering substantially all employees. The 401(k) Plan's inception date was July
1, 1996. An employee may elect to make voluntary contributions up to 15% of the
employee's eligible compensation. Employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan are
discretionary. There were no employer contributions for the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2000.
9. Related Party Transaction
In November 2000, Dopp purchased an aircraft from the Corporation and
subsequently entered into a lease agreement whereby the Corporation leased the
aircraft from him on a month-to-month basis for approximately $5,000. Profits on
the sale of the aircraft were deferred.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
There are various suits and claims against the Corporation that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. The total liability on these matters cannot be
determined with certainty. However, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, will not materially impact
the financial statements of the Corporation. Due to the Corporation's filing
under Chapter 11, certain of such cases have been stayed pursuant to the
automatic stay issued by the Court. Under Chapter 11, these cases require court
approval or must be specifically exempt for litigation proceedings to continue.
Environmental Remediation Loss Contingencies
The Corporation has completed, under the supervision of environmental counsel,
an audit of certain operations pursuant to the Texas Environmental, Health and
Safety Audit Privilege Act. Environmental engineering consultants have conducted
sampling and tests of these operations and determined certain events of
noncompliance with applicable environmental laws, as well as future compliance
issues. The current estimate for remediation and compliance with these
environmental issues is estimated at $525,579, all of which will not be paid out
in the next 12 months. These estimates may change upon completion of the audit,
as additional information becomes available and environmental laws change. The
Corporation is pursuing certain governmental programs that could possibly
mitigate these costs.
11. Stock Warrants
On July 7, 1998, in connection with the AVAQ purchase, the Corporation issued to
AVAQ nontransferable warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation's
common stock. The first 500,000 warrants, with an exercise price of $7.00 per
share, expired on July 7, 1999. The second 500,000 warrants, with an exercise
price of $10.00 per share, expire on July 7, 2003. On March 12, 2001, AVAQ
exercised 100,000 warrants at $10.00 per share. In consideration, AVAQ cancelled
$1,000,000 of indebtedness owed them from the Corporation.

12. Reorganization Expense
In fiscal 2001, the Company incurred $2,488,925 in reorganization expense
attributable to the filing under Chapter 11. This expense includes $598,129 for
potential lease rejection claims and $1,890,796 for professional fees.
13. Liabilities Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings
The Court established the date ("Bar Date") of November 29, 2001 by which claims
must be filed. Claims subject to the order which are not filed by the Bar Date
are barred from voting upon or receiving distribution under any plan of
reorganization of the Corporation unless the Court orders otherwise.
Those liabilities, which are ultimately expected to be settled as part of a plan
of reorganization, are classified as liabilities subject to settlement under
reorganization proceedings and include the following estimates at December 31,
2001:
Trade accounts payable $ 4,570,940
Accrued payroll and other related liabilities 703,635
Accrued expenses 2,156,682
Notes payable to related parties 1,225,000
Notes payable 3,473,340
Revolving prepetition credit facility 8,247,540
Potential lease rejection claims 598,129
------------
Total $ 20,975,266
============
While management currently believes that it has made adequate provision for the
liabilities to be incurred in connection with Chapter 11 claims, including
executory contracts and estimated costs of lease rejections, there can be no
assurance as to the amount of the ultimate liabilities on a plan of
reorganization or how such liabilities will be treated in a confirmed plan of
reorganization.

14. Subsequent Events
On January 30, 2002, Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. ("AASI") purchased
for cash and notes payable the revolving credit facility and term notes from
Congress Financial ("Congress") for $8,000,000, assuming all the rights and
obligations of Congress. At that time the outstanding balance due Congress was
approximately $13,700,000. AASI relieved Dopp of his guaranty on these notes
after their purchase.
On February 6, 2002, AASI agreed to provide continued debtor-in-possession
financing through May 3, 2002. Through April 19, 2002, AASI advanced an
additional $220,000 in debtor-in-possession financing.
On April 19, 2002, AASI purchased the inventory and capital assets and assumed
certain liabilities of the Corporation for approximately $11,360,000 including
cash and other consideration.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, AASI paid $8,000,000 against the
secured claim they purchased from Congress. The remaining $5,700,000 of debt
owed them from the Corporation became subordinated, unsecured debt. AASI also
paid $1,000,000 to the bankruptcy estate ($350,000 in cash and $650,000 in
stock) to be disbursed to the unsecured creditors, and provided approximately
$560,000 for operating expenses incurred prior to the purchase. AASI also
assumed approximately $1,800,000 of liabilities and the property leases with the
City of Kerrville, Kerr County, and Kerr County Industrial and Development
Foundation.
The purchase agreement also provides for the issuance of approximately 3,600,000
stock warrants of AASI stock at an exercise price of $.276 per share to be
disbursed to the unsecured creditors. In addition, if no action letter is
received from the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the date
of purchase, AASI is required to transfer stock with a value of $250,000 to the
bankruptcy estate.
Subsequent to the purchase, AASI changed its name to Mooney Aerospace Group,
Ltd.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
General
In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the
Company at March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001, respectively.
Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for any other
interim period or the full year.
The financial information in these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited December 31, 2001 financial statements and notes
thereto.
Organization
On January 31, 1998, Mooney Aircraft Corporation (the "Corporation") issued
$2,500,000 of additional cumulative, redeemable preferred stock which was
converted to common stock with the previously issued preferred stock outstanding
at December 31, 1997. This conversion resulted in AVAQ Group, Inc. ("AVAQ")
having control of 80% of the Corporation's outstanding common stock. The
remaining 20% of the Corporation's outstanding common stock was owned by Mooney
Holding Corporation ("MHC"), the Corporation's parent as of December 31, 1997,
until March 12, 2001 when AVAQ acquired the remaining 20% from MHC.
On July 27, 2001 (the "Petition Date"), the Corporation filed a petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 ("Chapter 11) of Title 11 of the United States
Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Texas ("Court" or "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 case is being
administered by the Court, with the Corporation managing its business as a
debtor-in-possession subject to Court approval for certain actions the
Corporation takes.
Under the Chapter 11 proceedings, actions by creditors to collect claims in
existence at the Petition Date ("prepetition") are stayed ("deferred"), absent
specific Court authorization to pay such claims, while the Corporation continues
to manage its business as a debtor-in-possession. These financial statements
include adjustments and reclassifications that have been made to reflect the
liabilities that have been deferred under the Chapter 11 proceedings. Those
noncurrent liabilities that have been deferred are expected to be settled as
part of a plan or plans of reorganization and are classified as liabilities
subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings. As of June 20, 2002, no
plan of reorganization has been submitted to the Court. Other prepetition
liabilities have been approved by the Court for payment in the ordinary course
of business and are included in the appropriate liability caption on the balance
sheet. Various accounting and business practices have also been adopted that are
applicable to companies operating under Chapter 11. For instance, interest
expense is accrued only for debt that is currently believed to be fully secured.
Some significant executory contracts have been rejected and additional executory
contracts may be rejected or renegotiated during the Chapter 11 proceedings.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Corporation believes appropriate provisions have been made in the
accompanying financial statements for prepetition claims which are recorded as
liabilities subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings, which
include claims associated with the rejection of certain leases, trade accounts
payable as of the Petition Date and prepetition general liability claims (see
Note 13). The amounts of the claims filed by some claimants may be significantly
in excess of the related liabilities recorded by the Corporation.
The previous discussion provides general background information regarding the
Chapter 11 case but is not intended to be an exhaustive summary. For additional
information regarding the effect on the Corporation reference should be made to
the Bankruptcy Code.
Nature of Business
The Corporation's business operations include (i) the design and manufacture of
four-place, single-engine, retractable gear aircraft, (ii) sale of spare parts
for Mooney aircraft, (iii) manufacture of aircraft components for other
aerospace companies, and (iv) service and repair of aircraft. Aircraft sales,
both domestic and international, are largely through a Mooney Marketing Center
distribution system. Spare parts are sold worldwide through a Mooney Service
Center distribution system. The manufacture of aircraft components and the
Corporation's service and repair of aircraft are primarily domestic operations.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Corporation recognized revenue on substantially all aircraft sales and parts
and service sales when each of the following four criteria is met: 1) a contract
or sales arrangement exists; 2) products have been shipped or services have been
rendered; 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and
4) collectibility is reasonable assured.
The Corporation also recognizes revenue on aircraft sales under bill-and-hold
transactions when each of the following seven criteria are met: 1) the risk of
ownership has passed to the buyer; 2) the buyer has made a fixed commitment to
purchase the goods; 3) the buyer has requested that the transaction be on a
bill-and-hold basis and has a substantial business purpose for ordering so; 4)
there is a fixed schedule for delivery of the goods and the delivery date is
reasonable and consistent with the buyer's business practices; 5) the
F-67
Mooney Aircraft Corporation (Debtor-in-Possession)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2002 and 2001
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Corporation has not retained any specific performance obligations such that the
earnings process is not complete; 6) the aircraft has been segregated from the
Corporation's inventory and is not subject to being used to fill other orders;
and 7) the aircraft must be complete and ready for shipment.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. An
obsolescence reserve is estimated for parts whose values have been determined to
be impaired or whose future utility appears limited.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for plant and
equipment, including equipment under capital leases, is computed primarily using
the straight-line method over the estimated economic service lives of the assets
as follows:
Years Years
------- -------
Land improvements 10 - 20 Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7
Building and building Tooling 5 - 7
improvements 20 - 25 Computer equipment 3 - 5
Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 Experimental aircraft 7 - 10
Advertising Expense
The Corporation expenses its advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses
were approximately $279,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The
Corporation did not incur any advertising expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2002.
Research and Development Expense
The Corporation incurs costs related to new products, product improvements,
support, and reliability. These costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of tools,
dies, fixtures, etc. with an extended life are capitalized as tooling and
depreciated over their estimated economic service lives.

Warranty
A warranty period of two years is provided for each aircraft sold. Periodically,
the recorded warranty liability is evaluated with consideration given to actual
warranty expense incurred on a historical basis, the volume of products still
under warranty, and the warranty period remaining for those products.
Product Liability
An accrual is provided for product liability expenses on manufactured products.
Periodically, the recorded product liability accrual is evaluated with
consideration given to actual product liability expenses, the number of product
liability claims still outstanding, the severity of the alleged and actual
damages specified in each claim, and the likelihood that actual expenses will be
incurred on each claim.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Environmental Remediation Costs
Expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations are accrued when
such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for estimated
expenses from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no
later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are
adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of
future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted
to their present value.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparison to current
year amounts.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)

2. Going Concern
The Corporation's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it
is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Corporation's
history of losses, the incurrence of costs related to environmental remediation
(Note 10), its historical noncompliance with certain financial covenants of loan
agreements with financial institutions (Note 3), and the filing of a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas raise concerns
as to its ability to produce continued profitable operations and positive future
cash flows.
The potential costs related to the remediation of and compliance with
environmental issues are being managed to the lowest possible amount pursuant to
regulatory requirements. Due to the timing of some of the environmental
remediation compliance procedures, the Corporation may be unable to meet all of
its operational cash needs (see Note 10).
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of the
bankruptcy proceedings or should the Corporation be unable to continue as a
going concern. The appropriateness of using the going concern basis for a
company operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code is dependent upon
several factors, including the success of future operations, the ability to
generate sufficient cash from operations and financing to meet its obligations
and, eventually, the confirmation of a plan of reorganization.
Until a plan of reorganization is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and becomes
effective, it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate recoveries
for creditors and stockholders, the length of time the Company will be under the
protection of Chapter 11, the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings in general,
the effects of the proceedings on the business of the Corporation or the extent
of the negative effects on the interests of the various creditors and
stockholders. While management currently believes the Company has made adequate
provision for the liabilities to be incurred in connection with Chapter 11
claims, there can be no assurance as to the final amount of such liabilities or
the final impact of such liabilities on a confirmed plan of reorganization.

3. Notes Payable and Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility (continued)
The revolving credit facility provides up to $13,500,000 in committed credit.
The aggregate amount of the credit facility shall not exceed a calculated
Borrowing Base (as defined in the loan and security agreement) based on
inventories and accounts receivable. The Facility contains restrictive covenants
and certain financial ratio covenants including, but not limited to, a minimum
adjusted net worth and a minimum adjusted working capital. At March 31, 2002,
the Corporation is in violation of certain financial covenants covering the
revolving credit facility and the term loans and is in default as the revolving
credit facility and term loans matured in May 2001.
The amount owed under the revolving credit facility and term loans exceeds the
value of the underlying collateral. Therefore, these balances have been included
with liabilities subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings (see
Note 13). All unsecured notes payable have also been included with liabilities
subject to settlement under reorganization proceedings.
On July 27, 2001, in conjunction with the Corporation's filing under Chapter 11
and under order from the bankruptcy trustee, the Company entered into a
Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement") with the same
financial institution providing the revolving credit facility. Under the terms
of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Corporation is allowed to borrow funds based on
the approval of the bankruptcy court, U. S. trustee, and financial institution.
Borrowings under this arrangement are due on demand, bear interest at 8.75%, and
have priority over all other secured claims.
On January 30, 2002, Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. ("AASI") purchased
for cash and notes payable the revolving credit facility and term notes from
Congress Financial ("Congress") for $8,000,000 assuming all the rights and
obligations of Congress. At that time the outstanding balance due Congress was
approximately $13,700,000. AASI relieved Paul S. Dopp, majority stockholder of
AVAQ, of his guaranty on these notes after their purchase. On February 6, 2002,
AASI agreed to provide continued debtor-in-possession financing through May 3,
2002.

5. Leases
The Corporation has acquired certain equipment through capital leases. The book
value of the equipment and accumulated amortization related to these assets held
under capital leases are $862,265 and $451,374, respectively, at March 31, 2001.
In 2002, the Corporation subsequently settled substantially all of the capital
leases for an amount less than what was contractually due resulting in a gain of
approximately $54,000.
In addition, the Corporation has several operating leases. Rent expense incurred
during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $21,000
and $109,000, respectively. The following is a schedule of the future minimum
payments under noncancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2002:
2003 $ 22,724
2004 19,848
2005 19,848
2006 16,013
2007 16,013
Thereafter 89,405
Under its Chapter 11 proceedings (see Note 1), the Corporation has the right,
subject to Court approval, to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired
leases. In this context, "assumption" means that the Corporation agrees to
perform its obligation to perform further under the contract or lease but is
subject to a claim of damages for the breach thereof. Therefore, the commitments
shown above may not reflect the actual cash outlay in the future.

6. Federal Income Taxes
During 2001, the Corporation will file a consolidated income tax return with its
parent, AVAQ. For purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been
calculated on a separate-company basis in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109 (FAS 109).
The Corporation records income taxes under FAS 109 using the liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.
The Corporation has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes of approximately $34,997,000 that will expire in years 2005 through
2021. The tax effect of these carryforwards is fully reserved as of March 31,
2002.
The valuation allowance increased $246,429 and $118,346 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Deferred income taxes result from the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Corporation's
deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31 are as follows:
2002 2001
-----------------------------------------------
Deferred tax assets:
Depreciation $ 374,655 $ 289,261
Uniform capitalization adjustment 140,739 180,722

===============================================
As a result of the issuance of additional shares of common stock, an ownership
change under Section 382 occurred in January 1998. Accordingly, it is expected
that the use of net operating loss carryforwards generated through January 1998
will be limited to approximately $65,000. Further changes in ownership may
further limit the use of the Corporation's loss carryforwards.
In addition to the Section 382 limitations, uncertainties exist as to the future
utilization of the operating loss carryforwards under the criteria set forth
under FAS 109. Therefore, the Corporation has established a valuation allowance
of $13,425,964 and $11,895,136 for net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2001
and 2001, respectively.
The reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax
rates to income tax expense for the three months ended March 31 is:

7. Contingencies
The Corporation was partially self-insured for product liability and aircraft
grounding claims and related legal and administrative costs prior to September
1, 1997, and there is remaining coverage from the prior policy. Subsequent to
September 1, 1997, the Corporation has coverage up to $50 million in claims per
policy year. An accrual has been provided for such claims based on management's
best estimate of losses and expenses using historical figures, known incidents,
incidents under investigation or in suit, and discussion with the Corporation's
counsel regarding such incidents. Management believes that amounts accrued are
adequate to cover its potential liability under such claims and that the
ultimate disposition of these claims will have no material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Corporation; however, the
ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be determined.
8. 401(k) Plan
The Corporation has a defined contribution retirement plan (401(k) Plan)
covering substantially all employees. The 401(k) Plan's inception date was July
1, 1996. An employee may elect to make voluntary contributions up to 15% of the
employee's eligible compensation. Employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan are
discretionary. There were no employer contributions for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 and 2001.
9. Related Party Transaction
In November 2000, Dopp purchased an aircraft from the Corporation and
subsequently entered into a lease agreement whereby the Corporation leased the
aircraft from him on a month-to-month basis for approximately $5,000. Profits on
the sale of the aircraft were deferred.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
There are various suits and claims against the Corporation that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. The total liability on these matters cannot be
determined with certainty. However, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, will not materially impact
the financial statements of the Corporation. Due to the Corporation's filing
under Chapter 11, certain of such cases have been stayed pursuant to the
automatic stay issued by the Court. Under Chapter 11, these cases require court
approval or must be specifically exempt for litigation proceedings to continue.
Environmental Remediation Loss Contingencies
The Corporation has completed, under the supervision of environmental counsel,
an audit of certain operations pursuant to the Texas Environmental, Health and
Safety Audit Privilege Act. Environmental engineering consultants have conducted
sampling and tests of these operations and determined certain events of
noncompliance with applicable environmental laws as well as future compliance
issues. The current estimate for remediation and compliance with these
environmental issues is estimated at $525,579, all of which will not be paid out
in the next 12 months. These estimates may change upon completion of the audit,
as additional information becomes available and environmental laws change. The
Corporation is pursuing certain governmental programs that could possibly
mitigate these costs.
11. Stock Warrants
On July 7, 1998, in connection with the AVAQ purchase, the Corporation issued to
AVAQ nontransferable warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation's
common stock. The first 500,000 warrants, with an exercise price of $7.00 per
share, expired on July 7, 1999. The second 500,000 warrants, with an exercise
price of $10.00 per share, expire on July 7, 2003. On March 12, 2001, AVAQ
exercised 100,000 warrants at $10.00 per share. In consideration, AVAQ cancelled
$1,000,000 of indebtedness owed them from the Corporation.

12. Reorganization Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred $228,349 in
reorganization expense attributable to the filing under Chapter 11. The charges
were primarily for professional fees.
13. Liabilities Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings
The Court established the date ("Bar Date") of November 29, 2001 by which claims
must be filed. Claims subject to the order which are not filed by the Bar Date
are barred from voting upon or receiving distribution under any plan of
reorganization of the Corporation unless the Court orders otherwise.
Those liabilities, which are ultimately expected to be settled as part of a plan
of reorganization, are classified as liabilities subject to settlement under
reorganization proceedings and include the following estimates at March 31,
2002:
Trade accounts payable $ 4,460,790
Accrued payroll and other related liabilities 673,709
Accrued expenses 2,265,389
Notes payable to related parties 1,225,000
Notes payable 3,473,340
Revolving pre-petition credit facility 8,247,540
Potential lease rejection claims 598,129
-------------
Total $ 20,943,897
=============
While management currently believes that it has made adequate provision for the
liabilities to be incurred in connection with Chapter 11 claims, including
executory contracts and estimated costs of lease rejections, there can be no
assurance as to the amount of the ultimate liabilities on a plan of
reorganization or how such liabilities will be treated in a confirmed plan of
reorganization.

14. Subsequent Events
On April 19, 2002, AASI purchased the inventory and capital assets and assumed
certain liabilities of the Corporation for approximately $11,360,000 including
cash and other consideration.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, AASI paid $8,000,000 against the
secured claim they purchased from Congress. The remaining $5,700,000 of debt
owed them from the Corporation became subordinated, unsecured debt. AASI also
paid $1,000,000 to the bankruptcy estate ($350,000 in cash and $650,000 in
stock) to be disbursed to the unsecured creditors and provided approximately
$560,000 for operating expenses incurred prior to the purchase. AASI also
assumed approximately $1,800,000 of liabilities and the property leases with the
City of Kerrville, Kerr County, and Kerr County Industrial and Development
Foundation.
The purchase agreement also provides for the issuance of approximately 3,600,000
stock warrants of AASI stock at an exercise price of $.276 per share to be
disbursed to the unsecured creditors. In addition, if no action letter is
received from the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the date
of purchase, AASI is required to transfer stock with a value of $250,000 to the
bankruptcy estate.
Subsequent to the purchase, AASI changed its name to Mooney Aerospace Group,
Ltd.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give
effect to the Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd. (formerly Advanced Aerodynamics &
Structures, Inc. (a Development Stage Enterprise)) ("Mooney" or the "Company")
purchase of the inventory and property, plant and equipment of Mooney Aircraft
Corporation (Debtor-in-Possession) ("MACorp") for cash and notes, which was
consummated April 19, 2002. Mooney also assumed certain liabilities totaling
$2,417,000. In addition, Mooney assumed the property lease with the City of
Kerrville for the land where MACorp's facilities are located. The acquisition
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been
derived from the historical financial statements of Mooney and MACorp. The
unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations as of December 31, 2001 has
been derived from the audited financial statements of Mooney and MACorp. The
unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations as of
March 31, 2002 have been derived from the unaudited financial statements of
Mooney and MACorp. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March
31, 2002 assumes that the acquisition was completed as of March 31, 2002. The
statements of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and the
year ended December 31, 2002 assumes that the acquisition was consummated as of
the beginning of the fiscal year presented.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations of Mooney that would have been reported had
the acquisition occurred on the date indicated, nor do they represent a forecast
of the financial position of Mooney at any future date or the results of
operations of Mooney for any future period. Furthermore, no effect has been
given in the Mooney unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for
operating benefits that may be realized through the combination of the entities.
Amounts allocated to the assets and liabilities of MACorp are based on their
estimated fair market values as of the acquisition closing date. The unaudited
pro forma combined financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes
of MACorp and the Company's historical financial statements and related notes.

This adjustment also eliminates the receivable from MACorp of $195,000
against the corresponding payable recorded by MACorp at March 31, 2002.
(5) Represents the additional interest related to the February 2002 issuance of
$4.5 million notes payable to Congress Financial that would have been
incurred for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the three-month period
ended March 31, 2002, as if the transaction occurred effective January 1,

costs for each of the periods presented.
(8) Represents additional depreciation for the step-up in basis due to the
acquisition of MACorp for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the three
months ended March 31, 2002. Depreciation was calculated using a 5-year
life based upon the relative historical depreciation expense included in
each category. For the year ended December 31, 2001 the adjustment is
included in cost of sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 the
adjustment is included in general and administration costs due to minimal
sales activity during that quarter.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Reference is made to Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware. As permitted by Delaware law, our Certificate of
Incorporation contains an article limiting the personal liability of directors.
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of Mooney shall not be
personally liable for any damages from any breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability based on a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to him establishing that his acts or omissions were committed in bad
faith or were the result of active or deliberate dishonesty and were material to
the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained a financial
profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. Our Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide for indemnification of all officers and
directors of Mooney to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We have entered into Indemnification Agreements ("Indemnification
Agreements") with each of our directors and officers (collectively, the
"Indemnitees"). The Indemnification Agreements permit us to indemnify the
Indemnitees for liabilities and expenses arising from certain actions taken by
the Indemnitees for or on behalf of Mooney and require indemnification in
certain circumstances.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
The registrant estimates that expenses in connection with the
distribution described in this registration abatement will be as shown below.
All expenses incurred with respect to the distribution, except for fees of

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in
the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time
it was declared effective.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

duly authorized, in the City of Long Beach, State of California, on
