EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Full Adjusted Appraisal On One (1) Boeing 737-528 Aircraft Serial Number 27426 and Registration Number FAP 356 At the request of ProInversion, ACI Aviation Consulting (ACI) has been retained to conduct a full aircraft appraisal, physical condition inspection and maintenance records audit on one (1) Boeing 737-528 aircraft, serial number 27426 and registration number FAP 356 (the Aircraft). The Aircraft, serial number 27426, is currently being operated by the Peruvian Government, which is headquartered in Lima, Peru. The Aircraft is used for Presidential transport. To conduct this assignment, ACI has relied upon specific data requested and obtained from the operator. ACI is not certifying the accuracy of the presented data; rather, ACI is conducting an audit of the data to determine proper content and compliance with standard industry practice. In conducting its assignments, ACI uses standard aviation auditing techniques that have been developed over the past two decades. These techniques require ACI to conduct an audit and obtain reasonable assurance

that the documents, as presented and obtained, contain no material misstatements or gross errors. Further, this assignment is not intended to substantiate airworthiness or compliance with mandated regulations. The Aircraft is currently operated by the Peruvian Air Force as an Air Force One for the official transportation of the President. The Aircraft was physically inspected while parked at its normal hanger location in Lima, Peru at Air Force Group 8. The aircraft was inspected on July 9, 2007 and the APU and engines were run on July 10, 2007. Overall the aircraft was found to be in excellent physical condition. Specifics concerning the physical inspection are fully covered within the Aircraft Inspection section of this report. This aircraft was noted to have a total of one (1) deferred maintenance item. Further details on this item can be found within the The aircraft is currently configured to accommodate sixty one (61) passengers in three classes. The presidential suite has four (4) single executive seats around a folding table and a three (3) place divan. There are twelve (12) first class seats aft of the presidential suite in mid-cabin and fortytwo (42) economy class seats in the aft cabin. Overall the maintenance records audit and physical condition inspection 5 of 43 Boeing 737-528 S/N 27426

went well however, there were several discrepancies that were noted by ACI. The following are provided in no particular order. Currently, there is no Certificate of Airworthiness issued to this aircraft because it is operated by the Peruvian Air Force. However, ACI was told that the process to have one issued by the Peruvian DGAC has been started. Although the aircraft has been modified with the installation of a PATS auxiliary fuel tank system, which increases the fuel capacity by 1,000 gallons per STC SA725NE, a recent Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2006-1518 and a service bulletin (SA25NE-28SB-007_B) require the system to be deactivated. Structural modifications are currently being developed to correct negative loading margins under emergency and flight gust loads by PATS. Currently the auxiliary fuel tank is not operational. Some of the documentation is written in Spanish, including the airframe and engine logs, as well as the headings in various status reports. The inspection, maintenance and overhaul documents, as well as all modifications performed on the aircraft are in English. The Aircraft Flight Manual and the Flight Crew Operations Manual state that the aircraft is capable of a Maximum Takeoff and Landing Altitude of 14,000 feet. An interior modification to its present VIP / head-of-state configuration ProInversion 6 of 43

was performed by Associated Air Center of Dallas, Texas on November 28, 1995. The FAA form 8130, certifying the interior installation, was reviewed by ACI. ACI did not review the modification package, however ACI believes the modification details (engineering data and material certifications) would be available at Associated Air Center. Only a complete review of all documentation could determine compliance. As of July 8, 2007, the records provided by Proinversion showed that the aircraft had accumulated 3,884.7 flight hours and 2,938 cycles since new. ACI considers this to be very low accumulated time and cycles for a twelve year old aircraft. As of July 8, 2007, engine serial number 858237 had accumulated a total of 3,884.7 hours and 2,938 cycles since new. The first life limited component, the Compressor Rear Air Seal, is due for replacement in 12,062 cycles. As of July 8 2007, engine serial number 858238 had accumulated a total of 3,884.7 hours and 2,938 cycles since new. The first life limited component, the Compressor Rear Air Seal, is due for replacement in 12,062 cycles. Both engines are original to the aircraft and have been on wing since delivery. The nose landing gear, left main landing gear, and right main landing gear were overhauled by Goodrich Landing System Services in Florida on Boeing 737-528 S/N 27426

July 21, 2006 based on calendar requirements. The next overhaul will be required on July 21, 2016. All of the landing gear currently have 90% time remaining until overhaul. The landing gear back to birth (BTB) traceability is currently incomplete. As previously stated, the landing gear were overhauled by Goodrich Landing Services on July 21, 2006 and certified with an FAA form 8130, however the life limited component (LLP) tracking is incomplete at present. ACI believes a LLP trace could be conducted but this comprehensive records review was not within the scope of this assignment. The airframe is currently being maintained on a Boeing approved Low Utilization Maintenance Program (LUMP) which requires the following inspections: an 1A Check 60 days, a 2A Check every 120 days, a 4A Check every 240 days, an 8A check every 485 days, a C check every 730 days, CPCP at 6 years and a Structural Inspection (SI) at 12 years. The next 1A Check is currently due now, the next 2A Check is due in 61 days, the next 4A Check is due in 181 days, the next 8A Check is due in 183 days, the next C check is due in 422 days. At present the 12 year Structural Inspection (SI) is due now. In conversations with the operator they indicate that the SI is being deferred to the next C check which is due in 422 days.

Complete information on the aircraft physical inspection and the maintenance records audit are covered within this report. The current market for the Boeing 737-528 passenger aircraft is very good. Low market availability, favorable operating economics and increasing demand have placed a premium on this aircraft type. The current market for large, VIP equipped aircraft is also very strong. Accordingly, the current market adjusted value of the subject aircraft, serial number 27426, is $18.48mm. The C Check, engines, and landing gear accounted for a positive value adjustment of $1.33mm. Specifics concerning the appraisal and current market information are contained in this appraisal.

Airline Industry Overview and Market Analysis Historical Perspective

of the major U.S. airlines were further evidence of an industry in recession. Higher fuel costs, contentious labor negotiations, and a slowdown of the world economy in late 2000 through the middle of 2001 hit the airlines hard. Not only was leisure travel slowing, but as corporations sought to control costs in the weakening economy, demand for the highly-profitable business travel decreased. The terrorist acts committed in the United States on September 11, 2001 further weakened an already declining U.S. economy, particularly in the airline industry. The attacks were directly responsible for the temporary grounding of the entire U.S. airline industry with the consequent loss of revenue. In spite of a massive government bailout which allowed several airlines to survive in the months after the crisis, much of that revenue did not return. In fact, by some estimates, overall demand had contracted by as much as 20 to 30 percent. The Post 9-11 Market What began as a normal cyclical downturn, well underway by the second half of 2001, turned into a much deeper downturn as a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01. Airlines immediately

During the years, postderegulation, up to and including 1989, the airline industry experienced a period of strong growth. The major U.S. airlines had placed large aircraft orders and were looking forward to continued profits. These airlines experienced record operating income in 1988 and 1989. The U.S. economic slump of 1990-1991, coupled with the invasion of Kuwait, caused an industry-wide recession, followed by the reorganization of several airlines and consolidation within the industry. From 1990 through 1992, the major U.S. airlines suffered operating losses of approximately $7.2 billion due to flat passenger demand. From late 1994 until early 2000, the industry experienced a recovery as a result of a rebounding economy, increasing passenger demand, and a focus on tightly controlling costs. The major U.S. airlines enjoyed steady growth, record earnings, and a return to overall profitability. Prior to September 11, 2001, however the aviation industry had begun to see a cyclical downturn. Demand for air travel declined in early 2001 and lower second quarter results from many

reacted by directly reducing capacity, in some cases by as much as 30 percent, in an attempt to meet the reduced passenger demand. This quick reduction in capacity caused an immediate imbalance between aircraft supply and demand. Prior to 9-11 the total number of jet aircraft in storage was 912; by the end of 2001 that total rose to 1,884 units, a 100% increase1. This situation caused a decline in the market value of almost all commercial aircraft. The wave of bankruptcies that followed 9-11 only made matters worse. The bankruptcies at Swissair, Sabena, Midway, US Airways, and others put many aircraft onto an already glutted market. The 737 Classics, along with other older technology jets such as the DC-9, L1011, older 747s and B727s series, were among the hardest hit in the initial months following 9/11. Unable to predict when demand would return and, in an attempt to conserve capital, numerous airlines deferred or cancelled new aircraft orders, parked older aircraft, laid off employees, curtailed flying and reduced station activity. Boeing and Airbus did their best to manage their dramatically revised delivery schedules but were clearly impacted by the downturn. The reduction in demand left both manufacturers in a precarious situation, necessitating massive layoffs and substantial reductions in aircraft production rates.

Boeing, as well as some increasingly desperate operating lessors, pushed hard to replace older aircraft in the worlds operational fleet with newer aircraft types now left without a home. While the manufacturers remained marginally profitable, the airlines continued to suffer substantial operating losses in the years 2002 to 2005. The following chart depicts the U.S. major carrier net losses for those years:

In addition to the excess capacity and fare wars, airlines have faced skyrocketing fuel costs. The price of jet fuel has effectively doubled since 9-11. Only the airlines with hedged fuel prices have been somewhat sheltered. Those airlines are led by Southwest and, to a lesser degree: Alaska, United, and Jet Blue. As many experts believe the

hedging strategy employed by these airlines will become less of a factor later this decade (2009) when their fuel hedges run out and oil remains above $50 per barrel.2 ACI views aircraft economics, and in particular, engine/aircraft fuel burn rates, among new production aircraft to be paramount. As one could imagine, the price of fuel is of substantial concern for all airlines. Traditionally, the largest operational costs for an airline were (in no particular order): maintenance, crew, insurance and fuel. For most airlines fuel is now at the top of the expense category. Ever increasing attention is now paid to fuel conservation. Fuel burn rates, advanced aerodynamics and efficient flight planning have become essential to all airlines. Traditional economic factors leading to the retirement of some aircraft types included maintenance and new generation system improvements. Now fuel burn rates are at the top of the list and are becoming primary considerations in the design and development of newer, more efficient engines and airfoils. ACI does not see any reverse in this trend and believes it may accelerate given the current global political environment. ACI anticipates additional negative pressure on older, less economical aircraft over the long term. Thus far, American Airlines and Continental Airlines have both been able
2

to hold off bankruptcy. Both carriers made significant inroads with sweeping cost reduction plans and fleet rationalization programs aimed at rightsizing their network systems. While both airlines appear ready to make a run at solid future profits, it is not clear if they can make those profits on a consistent basis, given the disadvantage of higher operating costs as compared to airlines that operate in, or have been through, bankruptcy. It is ACIs opinion that American or Continental will not hesitate to resort to bankruptcy should it be in their best interest to do so. Additional market consideration and discussion should also be directed towards the demand for freighter services. Traditionally, this demand has been historically met by (1) the manufacture of freighter aircraft by the prime manufacturers and (2) the freighter conversions of existing passenger aircraft. According to both Boeing and Airbus, the supply of freighter aircraft will be met primarily by the conversion of existing passenger aircraft. This may be one solution to the current excess overcapacity but by no means an answer. At best, the freighter fleet requirements will absorb only a small percentage of the excess passenger aircraft oversupply. Passenger to freighter aircraft conversions are also driven by economics. The first economic condition is the proposed acquisition price of the passenger aircraft which must be low enough to accommodate the additional Boeing 737-528 S/N 27426

capital investment required to modify the aircraft. Additional considerations regarding passenger to freighter conversions include, but are not limited to: aircraft age, maximum take-off weight, and installed engine type. Accordingly, as aircraft values decline and stay low, there may be some additional aircraft absorption by the freighter industry. This alone will not be a solution to excess passenger aircraft capacity but in ACIs opinion it must be a consideration in any value analysis. On the bright side of the supply and demand equation, emerging markets in South America, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Asia (in particular India and China) have been quick to absorb newer aircraft variants and some older aircraft types as they become available. These markets, the result of long-delayed de-regulation, have the potential to become large consumers of new and used aircraft alike. This situation is not likely to slow down anytime soon. However, what is not clear is the ability of these markets to continue their current rate of growth. Historically, as these markets develop, they have tended to grow quickly over brief periods and not steadily over sustained periods. ACI suspects that the periods of growth are limited by infrastructure, capital, airline economics and government control.

Since 2004 the airline industry has significantly rebounded. Several U.S. airlines have recently exited bankruptcy and the demand for transportation services has significantly recovered. During 2004, five U.S. main line carriers were operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and several others appeared to be on the brink. 3 In that same year, the demand for transportation services experienced a strong recovery although profits for all of the airlines were not achieved.4 According to the FAA, U.S. commercial air carrier system capacity (Domestic and International) grew by 7 percent in 2004 and commercial aircraft flights experienced a net gain of 3.7 percent. In 2004 the U.S. commercial air carrier system revenue passenger miles (RPMs) and passenger enplanements grew by 10.6 and 7.2 percent respectively. By the end of 2004, commercial RPMs exceeded pre 9-11 levels. Additionally, in 2004 air carriers achieved an all time high load factor of 75.2 percent. 5 ACI believes that this milestone was the turning point for the U.S. aviation industry. In 2005, passenger demand on U.S. airlines remained strong. System

RPMs and enplanements grew at 8 and 7.1 percent respectively. The system wide load factors increased to an all time high of 77.1 percent. In spite of all this good news, profitability eluded most U.S. airlines in 2005 because of the high price of oil and falling yields.6 2005 saw continued growth within the regional and Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) sector with the domestic market share of these operators growing another 2.2 percent to 45 percent of the total U.S. market share. As a comparison, these carriers represented only a 30 percent market share in 2000. The LCC market presence has forced the legacy carriers to cut costs and prices in markets served by both. These factors have been tough for the legacy carriers to navigate in an extremely competitive market. 2006 was overall a much better year for the US majors. The exceptions were Delta and United.

The Future The Air Transportation Association (ATA) is forecasting that the U.S. airline industry will record an aggregate $4.00 billion profit in 2007.7 Over the long run, the FAA expects significant market growth in aviation with only small gains in the short term. According to the FAA, the biggest hurdle for commercial aviation may be the price of oil. Boeing expects an annual average increase of 4.9 percent in passenger travel and a 6.1 percent

increase in freight carried by air over the next 20 years.8 Airbus forecasts annual world passenger traffic growth rates of 4.8 percent and freighter traffic growth at 6.0 percent between 2006 and 2025. Airbus also believes the world fleet of commercial jet aircraft will grow from 17,153 (in 2005) to approximately 33,500 by 2025.9 Although ACI generally concurs with the above forecasts, should there be another aviation terrorist attack, a change in the world geopolitical situation (a larger or expansion of the current Gulf war or the start of another conflict in the Middle East) or a significant increase in the price of oil, the above forecasts may not accurately reflect aviation industry growth and expansion. The Manufacturer: Boeing Founded in Seattle, Washington in 1916, the Boeing Company began as the brainchild of William Boeing. Boeing, who had already made his fortune in trading forest land, used his substantial resources to learn to fly and design aircraft for a fledgling aviation industry. Over the next 9 decades, the company built itself into the worlds largest aerospace corporation.

Currently, the company is comprised of four major business segments: Integrated Defense Systems, the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, Boeing Phantom Works and Boeing Capital Corporation. In addition, a fifth segment (the Shared Services Group) provides common shared services for the overall organization. The Boeing Commercial Airplane Company is headquartered in Renton, Washington, and is responsible for the development and production of the companys family of commercial airliners. The dominant force in commercial aircraft for the past 50+ years, Boeing aircraft comprise approximately 75 percent of the world fleet with nearly 13,000 airframes in service. The company currently produces its narrow-body 737NG, and Boeing Business Jet (a derivative of the 737) in Renton, Washington, and the wide-body 747, 767, 787 and 777 in Everett, Washington. To counter Airbuss strong family of aircraft, Boeing announced plans in 2004 to develop the 787 Dreamliner. The 787 Dreamliner aircraft, with plans for at least three variants, will place an emphasis on efficiency, higher speeds and modern manufacturing techniques. This strategy is in contrast to its major competitor, Airbus Industries, which is well on its

way to delivering the giant A380 with seating of up to 555 passengers. The Boeing 787 is truly an innovative aircraft. The aircraft is being manufactured using new, state-of-the art, manufacturing techniques which take advantage of lighter weight composites, more efficient engines, advanced systems and aerodynamic improvements. The first Boeing 787 flight is scheduled in late 2007 with entry into service projected in 2008. As of July 2007 a total of 677 Boeing 787 aircraft have been ordered. ACI considers this number of orders to be significant considering the 787 hasnt even taken its first flight. Since a slowdown immediately following 9-11 Boeing has made a complete turnaround. Boeing recorded a record year in 2006 with 1,044 commercial jet net orders from 76 customers. This number surpassed the previous Boeing record set in 2005 of 1,002 net orders. In 2005 Boeings revenues were $53.62 billion dollars. In 2006 Boeings revenue was $61.53 billion dollars. The Boeing 737 Aircraft The Boeing 737 is a twin- engine narrow body aircraft powered by the CFM56-3 series engines. ProInversion

The first Boeing 737 was delivered to Lufthansa in December of 1967 (a Boeing 737-100). The 737-500 received its FAA certification on February 12, 1990. Soon thereafter, March 2, 1990, the aircraft entered service with Southwest Airlines. The last 737-500 was produced in July 26, 1999. The Boeing 737-500 has a shorter fuselage when compared to the 737-300 and 737-400. The Boeing 737500 is capable of accommodating up to a maximum of 132 passengers; however the aircraft is generally configured for approximately 100 to 122 passengers depending upon class and layout. The Boeing 737-500 has a maximum gross take-off weight of between 115,500 to 136,000 pounds. The subject aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 134,000 pounds. This high take-off weight favors value. Although the 737-500 is the shortest of the 737 Classic series, it has the greatest range. The Boeing 737 family of aircraft (all of 737 series aircraft) is the most successful commercial jet aircraft type in history. The Boeing 737 family represents nearly 25 percent of the worlds active commercial jet fleet.

The Boeing 737 is favored by operators throughout the world for its maintainability and excellent operational performance. This aircraft type (the Boeing 737-300, -400, -500, -600NG, 700NG, -800NG, -900NG) is the primary competitor to the Airbus A320 family. With backorders, the Boeing 737 world fleet is expected to grow significantly over the next decade. The Boeing 737-500 series of aircraft currently has 65 operators. Like the Airbus A320 family, the Boeing 737 aircraft family has a common pilot type rating. This common pilot type rating allows pilots to train in a 737 flight simulator and, once trained, the pilots can operate all 737 family aircraft types. The Boeing 737-500 Current Market At present the current market for the Boeing 737-500 is very good. Low availability and high current demand favor this aircraft type. A total of 389 Boeing 737-500s have been produced. ACI views this number to be low when compared to other aircraft in the Boeing 737 family; however this production number is significant.

At present there is only one (1) Boeing 737-500 that is currently available for sale.10 When considering the current availability as a percentage, less than 1% of the Boeing 737-500 world fleet, ACI considers this to be a very tight market and favorable when considering value. There are approximately 65 operators, of the Boeing 737-500 aircraft. ACI considers this operator base to be diverse and will tend to favor value. Although there are approximately 65 operators, 191 aircraft are operated by only 7 carriers. ACI believes that this operator concentration may be a slight weakness for the Boeing 737-500 aircraft market. Another problem facing the Boeing 737-500 is the introduction of the New Generation (NG) of the Boeing 737s, the Boeing 737-600, -700, -800 and -900. These aircraft are more modern and have the capability to fly further, faster and more efficiently than their predecessors, however the NG aircraft are very tough to source in the current market and are very expensive compared to the earlier 737 variants. When compared within its family, the Boeing 737-500 is not as favored due to the low number of seats compared to 737-300 and -400 as well as
10

Over the next six months ACI is aware of up to ten (10) additional 737-500 aircraft that will enter the market. Even at 10 available aircraft the market will remain very strong.

the 737-700, -800 and -900. In ACIs opinion, the Boeing 737-500 is truly a niche market aircraft. ACI conducted current research to determine current asking prices and recent sales of Boeing 737-500s. As listed in Airfax a 1990 vintage 737-500 with approximately 40,000 hours and 32,900 cycles is currently being advertised for sale at $11.50mm asking price. ACI is also aware of 5 Boeing 737-500 aircraft that were recently sold out of the Continental Airlines fleet at $14.00mm to $15.00mm each. These aircraft were 1997 and 1998 vintage with typical airline utilization and were at approximate half-time maintenance status. Several unique, positive circumstances surround this particular aircraft in the fact that it has (1) very low hours and cycles, (2) is in excellent condition and (3) is in VIP/head-of-state configuration. These above three unique circumstances are all positive factors for value assuming a purchaser is sought that can immediately use and operate the aircraft in its current configuration. The current market for large, VIP equipped aircraft is very strong. Dominated by aircraft such as the Boeing BBJ (a 737-700/800 derivative), the Airbus ACJ (Airbus 318) and the Gulfstream G550, the heavy jet category has benefited from the growth of multinational business interests who require immediate and reliable transportation ProInversion

worldwide. ACI believes that the current market strength favors the subject aircraft. In its, Business Jet Monthly publication for July 2007, US investment bank JPMorgan observes that the used heavy jet inventory (available aircraft) was down to 3.2 percent of the active fleet. This is down from nearly 4 percent one year ago and a high of nearly 8 percent in early 200311. Further, they noted favorable changes in pricing for used aircraft in this class. This situation also favors the subject aircraft. While much of this analysis centers on traditional, purpose-built business aircraft, it can be assumed that the 737-500, with a modern airframe with proven lineage, can participate in this very strong market environment. That is, if the potential purchaser requires the payload, passenger and performance characteristics of this aircraft with a low acquisition price. In ACIs opinion, a VIP/head-ofstate conversion would cost approximately $3.50mm to $4.00mm if conducted today to similar specifications. This is a consideration for this appraisal. Should a purchaser seek the aircraft for traditional passenger use, they would typically discount the aircraft value due to its current configuration. Therefore, it is highly recommended that

this aircraft be marketed and sold to a VIP/Head-Of-State end user. This valuation assumes the aircraft is sold and marketed to a VIP/Head-Of-State end user. The industry guide book values for a 1995 vintage passenger aircraft are as follows: APG12: US$10.92mm Avitas: US$11.30mm ACI must caution the reader that the industry guide books are a reference point for passenger configured half-time aircraft. For the purposes of this report, these values are used as a reference point only. Other factors regarding this aircraft were considered. These factors include but were not limited to: the maximum gross take-off weight (MTOW), the aircraft low hours and cycles, and the factory installed and delivered Electronic Flight Instrumentation System (EFIS) cockpit. Accordingly, ACI has established the current half-time value for the subject Boeing 737-522 serial number 27426. The establishment of a half-time value is considered to be the first step in conducting an adjusted appraisal. These values are found on the following page.

Value Adjustments Once the half-time values are determined, ACI applies maintenance value adjustments (up or down) to the airframe (C and Structural Inspection), engines (overhaul and life limited parts) and landing gear. Value adjustments to this aircraft included the C check, the Structural Inspection, the engines and the landing gear. These maintenance value adjustments are necessary to accurately reflect the adjusted value of the subject aircraft. These maintenance value adjustments are calculated from halftime.

This report is subject to additional information that may be developed or provided at the request of the client. ACI assumes no responsibility or legal liability for actions taken or not taken by the client or any other party with regard to the subject aircraft values. By accepting this report, the client agrees that ACI shall bear no responsibility or legal liability regarding this report. Further, this report is prepared for the exclusive use of the client and shall not be provided to other parties without the clients consent. ACI hereby states that this report has been independently prepared and fairly represents ACIs opinion of the aircraft value set forth herein. ACI further states, that it has no present or contemplated future interest in or association with, the subject aircraft.

METHODOLOGY
When conducting its assessments of current aircraft value, ACI uses as its primary determinant, current and reported transaction prices. The transaction values are extracted from numerous public and private sources. In the absence of reliable transaction data, ACI places an asset into a specific category based upon asset mission capability and revenue potential. The categorization of assets allows ACI to determine value based upon comparisons of other assets that fall into the same category. It is not unreasonable to assume a similar value for assets having similar mission and revenue profiles. ACI also considers a multitude of other industry factors such as: aircraft economics, model popularity, operator base, population, reliability data, and manufacturer reputation. Once ACI has determined the current half-time value, adjustments may be required to accurately reflect the maintenance status of the aircraft, its engines, and major components. These value adjustments are calculated from the half-time value.

Signed,

Quentin Brasie Chairman & CEO ACI Aviation Consulting
