Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Background and Basis of Interim Presentation

Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (“HBI”) was formed in late 2006 by GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and Onex Partners II LP, an affiliate of Onex Corporation, for the purpose of purchasing the Raytheon Aircraft business (“RA” or the “Predecessor”) from Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed on March 26, 2007. HBI acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company, LLC, which was renamed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”), and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited. Hawker Beechcraft Notes Company (“HBNC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of HBAC which was formed to co-issue certain debt obligations. HBNC has had no activity since its formation. Following the Acquisition, HBI contributed the equity interest of the entity purchasing the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited to HBAC. HBAC is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling and servicing of business and general aviation, training and special mission aircraft. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HBAC and its subsidiaries subsequent to the Acquisition. The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” “Successor” and “Hawker Beechcraft” refer to Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC (“HBAC”) and its subsidiaries.

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

The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2009 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Since the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, there have been no significant changes in its critical accounting policies. Please refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition related to multiple-deliverable arrangements. This update removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from the fair value measurements required under the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. In addition, this update removes non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products from the scope of existing software revenue guidance. This update is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this update will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, new accounting standards were issued in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic on Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements. The standards enable companies to account for certain products and services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. The standards are effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these standards will have on its financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new standards in the ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. These standards require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The

standards also require disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standards also clarify existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures were effective for the Company beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 27, 2010 are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. Product Warranty

Warranty provisions related to commercial aircraft and parts sales are determined based upon an estimate of costs that may be incurred for warranty services over the period of coverage from 1 to 5 years with limited additional coverage up to 10 years on the Hawker 4000. We estimate our warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to verify that it appropriately reflects the estimated remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience causes management to revise its estimates. The effects of changes in estimates are reflected in the period the estimates are revised. Activity related to commercial aircraft and part warranty provisions, the majority of which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet, was as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions)		June 27, 2010				June 28, 2009				June 27, 2010				June 28, 2009
Beginning balance		$	65.6			$	65.5			$	67.9			$	67.3
Accrual for aircraft and part deliveries			4.6				7.2				8.5				10.7
Reversals related to prior period deliveries			(0.9	)			(2.3	)			(1.1	)			(2.9	)

Ending balance		$	62.4			$	64.7			$	62.4			$	64.7

Warranty provisions related to aircraft deliveries on contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion are recorded as contract costs as the warranty work is performed. The estimation of these costs is an integral part of the revenue recognition process for these contracts.

5. Inventories, net

Inventories consisted of the following:

 

		June 27,			December 31,
(In millions)		2010			2009
Finished goods		$	129.9		$	157.4
Work in process			937.8			811.2
Materials and purchased parts			231.2			330.3
Total		$	1,298.9		$	1,298.9

Net non-cash transfers of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 were excluded from changes in inventories in the statement of cash flows for aircraft physically transferred from inventory to property, plant and equipment. Net non-cash transfers of $11.8 million for the six months ended June 28, 2009 were excluded from changes in inventories in the statement of cash flows for aircraft physically transferred from property, plant and equipment to inventory.

6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge forecasted United Kingdom pound sterling inventory purchases. Notional amounts outstanding at June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009 based on contract rates were $56.4 million and $396.3 million, respectively. The maturity dates of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 27, 2010 extend through January 2011. For the six months ended June 27, 2010, the net loss recognized in earnings due to foreign currency forward contracts not designated or de-designated as cash flow hedges was $6.4 million. As of June 27, 2010, $18.4 million of net unrealized losses on contracts designated and effective as cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings over the next twelve months as the underlying transactions mature and the hedged items impact earnings.

Interest Rate Swap

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement (“the swap”) in April 2007 to effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The notional amount of the swap is $485.0 million, of which $335.0 million matures on December 30, 2010 and $150.0 million matures on December 30, 2011.

Our counterparty syndicated 40% of the swap by entering into risk participation agreements with a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. (“Lehman”) and another financial institution. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which triggered termination of its risk participation agreement with our counterparty. As agreed with our counterparty, the swap was amended to increase the fixed rate by four basis points to 4.95% to compensate our counterparty for assuming the additional credit risk. We de-designated the cash flow hedging relationship under the original terms of the swap and re-designated the amended swap in a new cash flow hedging relationship. The deferred loss associated with the de-designated hedge is being amortized over the life of the debt. We entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement in June 2009 to effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The notional amount of the June 2009 swap is $300.0 million and matures on June 30, 2011.

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, we reclassified losses of $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense related to the de-designation of the original hedging relationship. For the six months ended June 27, 2010, no ineffectiveness was recognized for the new hedging relationship. As of June 27, 2010, a loss of $1.0 million is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense over the next twelve months related to the de-designation of the original hedging relationship.

7. Restructuring

During the six months ended June 27, 2010, we continued restructuring actions in response to lower aircraft production rates due to depressed demand in the general aviation industry and as part of the Company’s on-going cost reduction initiatives. The following table shows pre-tax charges for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009:

 

		Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
(In millions)		June 27, 2010			June 28, 2009				June 27, 2010			June 28, 2009
Business and General Aviation		$	3.4		$	7.1			$	5.3		$	19.7
Trainer Aircraft			0.3			(0.2	)			0.3			0.4
Customer Support			—			0.1				—			0.5
Total		$	3.7		$	7.0			$	5.6		$	20.6

Changes in our restructuring and other reserve balances, which are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as other accrued expenses, are shown in the table as follows:

 

(In millions)		Facilities and Other Consolidaton Costs				Severance and Related Costs				Total
Beginning balance, December 31, 2009		$	0.9			$	1.8			$	2.7
Accruals			0.8				4.8			$	5.6
Payments			(0.4	)			(4.0	)		$	(4.4	)
Ending balance, June 27, 2010		$	1.3			$	2.6			$	3.9

8. Debt and Notes Payable

Debt and notes payable consisted of the following:

 

(In millions)		June 27, 2010			December 31, 2009
Short-term debt:
Notes payable		$	55.3		$	60.2
Revolving credit facility			—			235.0
Current portion of long-term debt			15.0			15.0
Total short-term debt			70.3			310.2
Senior secured term loan due 2014, net of current portion			1,248.0			1,249.3
Incremental secured term loan due 2014, net of current portion			186.6			188.0
Senior fixed rate notes due 2015			182.9			182.9
Senior PIK-election notes due 2015			302.6			288.7
Senior subordinated notes due 2017			145.1			145.1
Total long-term debt			2,065.2			2,054.0
Total debt		$	2,135.5		$	2,364.2

The average floating interest rate on the senior secured term loan was 3.50% at June 27, 2010 and 3.36% at December 31, 2009.

Notes payable represents a deferred payment obligation to a supplier under which the supplier is paid by the lender upon our receipt of goods. We pay the lender within 155 days under the terms of the underlying short-term promissory notes with interest determined at the five month LIBOR plus 5.00% for those notes issued after May 1, 2009. At June 27, 2010, we had $55.3 million of outstanding notes payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.62%. At December 31, 2009, we had $60.2 million of outstanding notes payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.50%. The issuance of these notes was treated as a non-cash financing transaction. $87.2 million of notes were issued during the six months ended June 27, 2010.

The book balance of the incremental secured term loan due 2014 will vary as principal payments occur and with the accretion of the original issue discount. The increase in the senior PIK-election notes during the first half of 2010 was due to the Company’s decision to make the April 1, 2010 interest payment by issuing additional PIK-election notes rather than by paying in cash. The Company has elected to make the next semi-annual interest payment in cash.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines fair value utilizing a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

•

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

 

•

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

 

•

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

The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

		June 27, 2010										December 31, 2009
(In millions)		(Level 1)			(Level 2)				(Level 3)			(Level 1)			(Level 2)				(Level 3)

Total		$	—		$	(25.3	)		$	—		$	—		$	(48.9	)		$	—

The foreign currency forward contracts and the interest rate swaps were recorded at fair value in our statement of financial position as follows:

 

		June 27, 2010								December 31, 2009
(In millions)		Foreign Currency Forward Contracts				Interest Rate Swaps				Foreign Currency Forward Contracts				Interest Rate Swaps
Other accrued expenses-current		$	(9.3	)		$	—			$	(28.0	)		$	—

Net derivative liability		$	(9.3	)		$	(16.0	)		$	(28.0	)		$	(20.9	)

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on indicative broker pricing. The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt in accordance with the accounting standard for fair value measurements:

 

		June 27, 2010						December 31, 2009
		Carrying			Fair			Carrying			Fair
(In millions)		Amount			Value			Amount			Value
Senior secured term loan (including current portion)		$	1,261.0		$	1,027.7		$	1,264.3		$	938.7

10. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, we include certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 27, 2010 was negative 2.2%, which included the impact of discrete items related to foreign return to provision true-ups which had an immaterial impact on the overall effective tax rate for the period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 28, 2009 was 15.6%, which included the impact of $352.1 million of cancellation of debt income included in the financial statements for that period. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and statutory tax rate in the jurisdictions in which we operate is a result of the valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets.

We have a valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets (excluding “naked credits”). Naked credits refer to deferred tax liabilities associated with the tax amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized for financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax liability remains on the balance sheet indefinitely until such time the related assets are impaired or the business to which those assets relate are disposed. As the deferred tax liability could have an indefinite life, it is not netted against our deferred tax assets when determining the required valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was established based upon management’s assessment of all available evidence, both positive and negative, including current and historical operating results, future income projections and potential tax-planning strategies. The conclusion was based primarily on our cumulative pre-tax losses in recent years and the need to generate significant amounts of taxable income in future periods in order to utilize existing deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was $379.7 million at December 31, 2009. Our U.S. deferred tax assets, primarily related to U.S. federal and state net operating losses, increased $44.0 million during the six months ending June 27, 2010 to $423.7 million. We intend to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence related to sources of future taxable income exists to support a reversal of the valuation allowance.

The U.S. federal research and development tax credit expired as of December 31, 2009. As of June 27, 2010, the credit had not been reinstated. Due to our net operating losses and full valuation allowance, a reinstatement of the credit during the year would have no impact on our effective tax rate.

An entity affiliated with Goldman, Sachs and Co. and Onex Partners II LP purchased $152.8 million of our outstanding notes at a discount in February 2010. For income tax purposes, the entity is considered a related party, and therefore, the acquisition of the outstanding debt is treated as acquired “repurchased” by the Company resulting in cancellation-of-indebtedness (“COD”) income estimated to be $55.0 million. The repurchased debt is treated as new indebtedness for income tax purposes which is “deemed” issued to the related party at a discount creating original issue discount (“OID”) estimated to be $51.0 million.

We are currently analyzing the tax consequences of deferring the COD income and OID deductions under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code §108(i) enacted under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. We have prepared the tax provision based on the assumption that we will not elect to defer, although the election is not required to be made until the Company files its current year tax return. If we elect deferral, the COD income and OID deductions will be deferred until 2014 and included in taxable income ratably from 2014 through 2018.

11. Pension and Other Employee Benefits

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

The following table outlines the components of net pension expense recognized:

 

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions)		June 27, 2010				June 28, 2009				June 27, 2010				June 28, 2009
Service cost		$	5.8			$	6.8			$	11.6			$	13.6

Amount recognized		$	0.2			$	0.4		$	0.4			$	0.8

We anticipate total contributions, both required and discretionary, to the Pension Benefits and Other Benefits plans to be $28.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in 2010.

We maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan under which covered employees are allowed to contribute up to a specific percentage of their eligible compensation. Prior to October 5, 2009, we matched (“HBAC Match”) union and non-union employee contributions up to a maximum of four percent of eligible compensation. The Company match for all non-union employees was suspended indefinitely, effective October 5, 2009. Total HBAC Match expense was $1.4 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively. Total HBAC Match expense was $2.8 million and $8.5 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively.

We maintain a retirement income savings program (“RISP”), which is a defined contribution plan, for certain employees who were hired on or after January 1, 2007. These employees will participate in the RISP in place of the Pension Benefits described above. We contribute to the covered employee’s participant account up to a maximum of 9% of the employee’s pay based on the employee’s age and tenure. The funds can be invested among several investment options as directed by the employee. Total expense for the RISP was $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, total expense for the RISP was $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

12. Related Party Transactions

Onex Partners II LP and its affiliated entities own 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBI. Affiliates of Onex Partners II LP currently own a controlling interest in Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (“Spirit”), one of our suppliers. Spirit supplies certain components for our Hawker aircraft and we believe that purchases of components from Spirit are based on standard market terms. We received components from Spirit of $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, we received components from Spirit of $6.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Advance payments to Spirit for goods not yet received were $0.1 million and $0.2 million at June 27, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and other private equity funds affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. own 49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBI. Goldman, Sachs & Co. acted as an initial purchaser in the 2007 offering of the notes that were later exchanged for our outstanding publicly held notes in a registered exchange offer. In connection with the registration rights agreement we entered into at the time of the issuance of the notes, we also agreed to maintain a market making shelf registration for the benefit of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., an affiliate of GS Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its related investment funds, acted as the joint lead arranger and a lender under our senior secured credit facilities, including for the Incremental Term Loan facility in November 2009. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and its affiliates may occasionally engage in commercial banking, investment banking or other financial advisory transactions with us and our affiliates. Currently, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. is a participating lender in the Company’s credit agreement and Goldman Sachs Capital Markets, L.P. has entered into interest rate swaps with the Company. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. served as Dealer Manager for the tender offer to purchase a portion of our outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. We believe these agreements were executed at market terms for a similar company with a similar risk profile.

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

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

As of June 27, 2010, the debt acquired by such entity has not been retired and we will continue to pay interest in accordance with terms of the debt. During the second quarter of 2010, we paid interest on these notes by making cash payments of $0.4 million and by issuing $6.6 million of additional PIK-Election notes. As of June 27, 2010, the affiliates’ outstanding balance of these notes was $159.4 million and the amount of accrued interest associated with these notes was $3.6 million.

We have assigned certain leasehold interests to third parties but remain liable to the lessor to the extent the assignee defaults on future lease payments amounting to $19.8 million and $21.3 million at June 27, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The underlying leases extend through 2026.

We have committed to construct facilities and purchase equipment under contracts with various third parties. Future payments of $4.6 million and $3.6 million were required under these contracts at June 27, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

We retain liability for losses and expenses for aircraft product liability up to a maximum of $10 million per occurrence and $20 million per fiscal year. Insurance purchased from third parties is expected to cover excess aggregate liability exposure from $20 million to $750 million. This coverage also includes the excess liability over the per occurrence limits. Raytheon retained the liability for claims relating to occurrences after April 1, 2001 through March 25, 2007. We retain liability for claims relating to occurrences prior to April 1, 2001, subject to limited exceptions covering specific liabilities retained by Raytheon. The aircraft product liability reserve was $15.5 million and $13.2 million at June 27, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and was based on management’s estimate of its expected losses not covered by third party insurers. We currently have no offsetting receivable for insurance recovery associated with this estimate.

We issue guarantees and have banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds to meet various administrative, bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations of us or our affiliates. $116.5 million, $67.3 million and $1.3 million of these guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds, for which there were stated values, were outstanding at June 27, 2010, respectively, and $146.5 million, $61.5 million and $1.2 million were outstanding at December 31, 2009, respectively. These instruments expire on various dates through 2016.

In connection with certain aircraft sales, we offer trade-in incentives whereby the customer will receive a pre-determined trade-in value if they purchase another aircraft of equal or greater value from us. The differences between the value of these trade-in incentives and the current, lower, estimated fair value of the underlying aircraft was $28.8 million and $29.2 million at June 27, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. There is a high degree of uncertainty inherent in the assessment of the likelihood of trade-in commitments.

We are subject to oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). The FAA routinely evaluates aircraft operational and safety requirements and is responsible for certification of new and modified aircraft. Future action by the FAA may adversely affect our financial position or results of operations, including recovery of its investment in new aircraft. Comparable agencies, including but not limited to, the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), regulate these matters in the other countries.

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

In July 2007, the FAA informed us that it had initiated an investigation concerning compliance by one of our suppliers with part specifications involving our T-6A trainers and certain special mission King Air aircraft sold to the U.S. government. HBAC cooperated with the FAA investigation and conducted its own supplier quality audits. HBAC believes the alleged non-compliance condition does not impact safety of flight. On June 17, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas notified us that the FAA had referred a civil penalty matter arising out of its investigation to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for enforcement and that the FAA had recommended imposing civil penalties against HBAC. On July 22, 2010, the U.S. Attorney’s Office notified us that it intends to seek civil enforcement penalties of at least $2.6 million, as well as injunctive relief, against HBAC with respect to HBAC’s quality oversight of the supplier. We do not believe any resulting civil penalty would be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In April 2009, HBAC received a complaint naming it as a defendant in a qui tam lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The complaint alleged violations of the civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) arising from alleged supplier non-conformance with specifications and HBAC’s alleged inadequate quality control over the supplier’s manufacturing process on certain T-6 and King Air aircraft delivered to the government. The lawsuit, United States ex rel. Minge, et al. v. Turbine Engine Components Technologies Corporation, et al., No. 07-1212-MLB (D. Kan.), alleged FCA causes of action against HBAC (and its predecessor, Raytheon Aircraft Company) and FCA causes of action, retaliation causes of action, and a tort cause of action against TECT Aerospace Wellington, Inc. (“TECT”), an HBAC supplier, and various affiliates of TECT. On February 3, 2010, the District of Kansas court granted HBAC’s motion for summary judgment in the qui tam case. The Court permitted the FCA retaliation cause of action to proceed against TECT. On June 1, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion to reconsider the order granting summary judgment and a motion to amend the complaint. On August 2, 2010, the Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to reconsider the order but granted plaintiffs’ leave to file an amended complaint.

On April 7, 2009, Airbus UK Ltd. (“Airbus”) filed a Request for Arbitration (“RFA”) with the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in Paris initiating proceedings against HBAC. Airbus alleges that HBAC breached its obligations under the Airframe Purchase and Support Agreement dated August 19, 1998 between Airbus and HBAC. More particularly, Airbus claims that it and HBAC reached agreement in April of 2008 for HBAC to purchase increased volumes of fuselages, wings, track kits and spare parts (collectively the “shipsets”) in the 2008 to 2010 time frame. Airbus further alleges that (i) beginning in late 2008, HBAC unilaterally reduced the number of shipsets that it would purchase in breach of its contractual obligations and (ii) that Airbus made substantial investments to expand its production capacity at the urging of HBAC and in reliance on alleged expanded commitments from HBAC. On December 23, 2009, Airbus filed its Statement of Claim, which seeks an award of damages potentially in excess of £40 million. HBAC filed its Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on April 5, 2010 denying liability and asserting a counterclaim against Airbus in the amount of £6,433,015. The arbitration merits hearing was held July 27-30, 2010. Following post-hearing submissions, scheduled to be completed in October 2010, the tribunal will issue its final award.

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

15. Business Segment Information

Reportable segments include the following: Business and General Aviation, Trainer Aircraft and Customer Support. Business and General Aviation designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells commercial and specially modified business and general aviation aircraft and related service contracts. Trainer Aircraft designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells military training aircraft to the U.S. government and foreign governments. Customer Support provides parts and service support for in-service aircraft worldwide.

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

Segment financial results were as follows:

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ significantly from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements are general business and economic conditions, production delays resulting from lack of regulatory certifications and other factors, competition in our existing and future markets, lack of market acceptance of our products and services, the substantial leverage and debt service resulting from our indebtedness, loss or retirement of key executives and other risks disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our Company

We are a leading designer and manufacturer of business jet, turboprop and piston aircraft. We are also the sole source provider of the primary military trainer aircraft to the United States (U.S.) Air Force and the U.S. Navy and provide military trainer aircraft to other governments. We deliver our products to a diverse customer base, including corporations, fractional and charter operators, governments and individuals throughout the world. We provide parts, maintenance and flight support services through an extensive network of service centers in 30 countries to an estimated installed fleet of more than 37,000 aircraft.

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

We operate in the global business and general aviation industry, which continues to experience depressed demand primarily as a result of uncertainty in the global economy. The business and general aviation industry has historically been cyclical and has been impacted by many factors, including the condition of the U.S. and global economies, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies, corporate profits and geo-political events. Additionally, the business and general aviation industry has historically lagged behind changes in general economic conditions and corporate profit trends. While we believe that our backlog of $2.4 billion at June 27, 2010 as well as our existing aircraft portfolio and planned derivative upgrades position us well within this market, we believe that we, and the business and general aviation industry as a whole, will continue to experience depressed demand during 2010 and likely into 2011.

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

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

Current Developments

The Company continues to evaluate aspects of its overall cost and manufacturing structure, including the possibility of relocating certain work to other locations within and outside the U.S. With the exception of the already announced decision to close the Salina, Kansas facility, these evaluations and decisions are expected to occur over the remainder of 2010 and into early 2011. Included within the evaluation is a consideration of assets which may potentially be surplus as well as costs that might be incurred as a result of a decision to change the location of certain work. Decisions made as these evaluations conclude could result in restructuring or other accounting charges.

Three Months Ended June 27, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 28, 2009

Sales

As detailed in the table below, sales decreased by $177.0 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2009. The decrease was driven by lower deliveries in the Business and General Aviation segment, partially offset by increased volume in the Trainer Aircraft segment.

Business and General Aviation. Sales for the three months ended June 27, 2010 decreased by $248.5 million as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2009 due to generally lower aircraft delivery volume, particularly in the King Air and Hawker 900 models as reflected in the table below. Aircraft deliveries were significantly impacted by the current depressed market conditions. King Air deliveries in the three months ended June 27, 2009 included a significant number of special mission aircraft, most notably the Project Liberty aircraft. Deliveries under Project Liberty were completed in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Trainer Aircraft. Sales for the three months ended June 27, 2010 increased by $67.7 million as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2009 primarily due to higher volume on both the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (“JPATS”) contract with the U.S. government as well as international trainer contracts awarded in late 2009. A significant portion of the higher volume relates to the Ground Based Training Systems (“GBTS”) and Contractor Logistics Support (“CLS”) elements of the JPATS and international contracts. During the three months ended June 27, 2010, the Trainer Aircraft segment delivered 22 T-6 aircraft compared to 27 in the comparable period of 2009. The three months ended June 28, 2009 included 8 units that were built in 2008, but were not delivered until 2009 due to a delivery suspension related to quality issues with a supplier’s component.

Customer Support. Sales for the three months ended June 27, 2010 increased by $16.4 million as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2009. The increase is primarily due to the sale of aircraft engines to certain major customers. Sales volume was essentially the same for the comparable quarters in 2010 and 2009 excluding these engine sales. Customer Support segment sales are principally comprised of the sale of spare parts and maintenance services to existing aircraft operators.

Operating (Loss) Income

As depicted in the table below, operating loss was $20.7 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to operating income of $39.4 million for the three months ended June 28, 2009, a change of $60.1 million. The amount of the operating loss is primarily due to the increase in operating loss in the Business and General Aviation segment, which was impacted by decreases in aircraft delivery volume.

Business and General Aviation. Operating loss was $72.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to operating income of $7.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2009. This decline in operating income of $79.6 million for the period was due to the previously discussed decrease in aircraft delivery volume. Operating income is impacted significantly by the mix of aircraft delivered during any particular quarter. Of particular significance were the Project Liberty aircraft deliveries in the second quarter of 2009 that were not repeated in the comparable period of 2010.

Trainer Aircraft. Operating income increased by $22.9 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2009 due to the increased volume discussed previously as well as improved estimated contract profitability during the quarter due to the lower than expected contract service costs. The use of the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition causes gross margin to be recognized based on management’s estimate of total contract revenue and total contract cost at completion. As estimates are updated, any impact on revenue and gross margin as a result of the change in estimate is reflected in current earnings on a cumulative catch-up basis. Favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $12.2 million were recorded during the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $0.4 million during the three months ended June 28, 2009.

Customer Support. Operating income decreased by $3.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2009. As discussed above, sales volume for the quarter was essentially unchanged from the comparable quarter in 2009 after excluding the aircraft engine sales which had little impact on operating income. The modest reduction in operating income was primarily due to increased research and development expenditures of $0.8 million during the three months ended June 27, 2010 to develop certain new capabilities at the segment’s Company-owned service centers. In addition, a favorable $1.3 million one-time adjustment related to warranty costs was recorded during the three months ended June 28, 2009.

Restructuring, net.

We recorded pre-tax charges of $3.7 million and $7.0 million related to workforce reductions during the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively. We continued restructuring actions during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 in response to lower aircraft production rates due to depressed demand in the general aviation industry and as part of the Company’s on-going cost reduction initiatives.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.

Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $64.9 million, or 10.2% of sales for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $54.9 million, or 6.7% of sales for the three months ended June 28, 2009. The increase was due to higher consulting and other services related to factory operations cost reduction activities as well as higher selling expenses associated with the increased focus on international sales.

Research and Development Expense.

Research and development expense decreased by $4.1 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2009. We continue to invest in the development of our T-6 derivative products in the Trainer Aircraft segment. In addition, we are investing in development activities in the Business and General Aviation segment; however, expenditures in that segment are generally lower currently as we attempt to time new product introduction with anticipated market demand.

Non-operating Income/Expense, net.

Net non-operating expense was $35.7 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to net non-operating income of $137.2 million for the three months ended June 28, 2009 and was comprised almost exclusively of the interest expense on our existing debt. The three months ended June 28, 2009 included a $175.0 million net gain on the purchase of our debt securities. Interest expense was slightly lower primarily due to the result of lower interest rates on our floating rate debt as well as reduced principal balances on the fixed rate debt resulting from the debt repurchases during the first half of 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2010 was negative 0.4% and reflects the impact of the full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred income tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2009 was 2.5%, which included the impact of $175.0 million of cancellation of debt income included in the financial statements for that period.

Six Months Ended June 27, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 28, 2009

Sales

As detailed in the sales by segment table below, sales decreased by $146.4 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009. The decrease was driven by lower aircraft deliveries in the Business and General Aviation segment, partially offset by increased volume in the Trainer Aircraft segment.

Business and General Aviation. Sales for the six months ended June 27, 2010 decreased by $281.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 due to lower aircraft delivery volumes reflected in the table below. In addition, the six months ended June 27, 2009 included a significant number of special mission aircraft, most notably the Project Liberty aircraft. Deliveries under Project Liberty were completed in fourth quarter 2009.

Trainer Aircraft. Sales for the six months ended June 27, 2010 increased by $129.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 due to higher volume on both the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (“JPATS”) contract as well as international trainer contracts awarded in late 2009. A significant portion of the higher volume relates to the GBTS and Contractor Logistics Support CLS elements of the JPATS and international contracts. During the six months ended June 27, 2010, the Trainer Aircraft segment delivered 38 T-6 aircraft compared to 56 in the comparable period of 2009. The six months ended June 28, 2009 included 20 units that were built in 2008, but were not delivered until 2009 due to a delivery suspension related to quality issues with a supplier’s component. Revenue is recognized on essentially all contracts in the Trainer Aircraft segment using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. Accordingly, the majority of Trainer Aircraft segment sales, including estimated earned gross margin, are recognized as costs are incurred.

Customer Support. Sales for the six months ended June 27, 2010 increased by $19.7 million as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 primarily due to higher parts sales volume including the sale of engines, on essentially a pass-through basis, as part of certain maintenance service contracts. Customer Support segment sales are principally comprised of the sale of spare parts and maintenance services to existing aircraft operators.

Operating (Loss) Income

The Operating (Loss) Income by Segment table below details the increase in operating loss of $39.2 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009. The amount of the operating loss was primarily due to the decrease in aircraft delivery volume in the Business and General Aviation segment.

Business and General Aviation. Operating loss increased by $79.2 million during the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 due to the previously discussed decrease in aircraft delivery volume. Operating income is impacted significantly by the mix of aircraft delivered during any particular quarter. Of particular significance was the Project Liberty aircraft deliveries in the six months ended June 28, 2009 that were not repeated in the comparable period of 2010. Partially offsetting the adverse impact of reduced delivery volumes was a $25.7 million charge recorded in the six months ended June 28, 2009 to reduce the carrying value of used aircraft inventory for which no comparable charge was recorded during the six months ended June 27, 2010.

Trainer Aircraft. Operating income increased by $42.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 due primarily to the increased volumes discussed previously as well as improved estimated contract profitability during the current year due to lower than expected contract service costs. The use of the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition causes gross margin to be recognized based on management’s estimate of total contract revenue and total contract cost at completion. As estimates are updated, any impact on revenue and gross margin as a result of the change in estimate is reflected in current earnings on a cumulative catch-up basis. Favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $15.8 million were recorded during the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $1.9 million during the six months ended June 28, 2009. In addition, the six months ended June 28, 2009 included amortization expense of $3.1 million related to intangible assets arising at Acquisition. The underlying assets became fully amortized at March 29, 2009; therefore, there was not a similar expense during the six months ended June 27, 2010.

Customer Support. Operating income decreased by $2.0 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009 due primarily to a favorable one-time adjustment related to warranty costs recorded during the six months ended June 28, 2009 as well as increased research and development expenditures during the six months ended June 27, 2010.

Restructuring, net.

We recorded pre-tax charges of $5.6 million and $20.6 million related to workforce reductions during the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively. We continued restructuring actions during the first half of fiscal 2010 in response to lower aircraft production rates due to depressed demand in the general aviation industry and as part of the Company’s on-going cost reduction initiatives.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.

Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $121.4 million, or 10.1% of sales, for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $107.4 million, or 7.9% of sales, for the six months ended June 28, 2009. The increase was due to higher consulting and other services related to factory operations cost reduction activities as well as higher selling expenses associated with the increased focus on international sales.

Research and Development Expense.

Research and development expense decreased by $9.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2009. We continue to invest in the development of our T-6 derivative products in the Trainer Aircraft segment. In addition, we are investing in developmental activities in the Business and General Aviation segment; however, expenditures in that segment are generally lower relative to prior periods as we attempt to time new product introduction with anticipated market demand.

Non-operating Income/Expense, net.

Net non-operating expense was $71.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to net non-operating income of $273.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2009 and was comprised almost exclusively of the interest expense on our existing debt. The six months ended June 28, 2009 included a $352.1 million gain on the purchase of our debt securities. The reduction in interest expense was primarily the result of lower interest rates on our floating rate debt as well as reduced principal balances on the fixed rate debt resulting from the debt repurchases during the first half of 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 27, 2010 was negative 2.2% and reflects the impact of the full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred income tax assets. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 28, 2009 was 15.6%, which included the impact of $352.1 million of cancellation of debt income included in the financial statements for that period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table illustrates sources and uses of funds:

 

		Six Months Ended
(In millions)		June 28, 2010				June 29, 2009
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$	79.5			$	(141.7	)
Net cash used in investing activities			(10.3	)			(32.7	)
Net cash used in financing activities			(330.8	)			104.9
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents			—				—
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		$	(261.6	)		$	(69.5	)

Six Months Ended June 27, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities was $79.5 million and was primarily due to the liquidation of inventory as well as an increase in accounts payable balances.

Net cash used in investing activities of $10.3 million related primarily to capital expenditures for equipment being used to support the T-6 derivative program development in our Trainer Aircraft segment as well as tooling in our Business and General Aviation segment.

Net cash used in financing activities of $330.8 million represents the repayment of the previously outstanding $235.0 million on the revolving credit facility as well as payments on notes payable used to finance certain aircraft engine purchases.

Six Months Ended June 28, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities was $141.7 million. The net cash consumed was primarily due to decreased accounts payable balances as amounts due vendors associated with higher activity in late 2008 were paid in early 2009. In addition, customer deposits were reduced as a result of a decline in new orders.

Net cash used in investing activities of $32.7 million related primarily to capital expenditures for tooling in our Business and General Aviation segment and facilities improvements in our Customer Support segment.

Net cash from financing activities of $104.9 million represented the proceeds from the full draw of our $365 million revolving credit facility offset by the cash used to purchase our debt securities in both the tender offer and open market purchases discussed herein as well as payments on notes payable used to finance engine purchases.

Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our capital resources as of the dates indicated:

 

(In millions)		June 27, 2010				December 31, 2009
Cash and cash equivalents		$	307.2			$	568.8
Total debt			2,135.5				2,364.2
Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents)			1,828.3				1,795.4
Total equity			11.6				122.2
Total capitalization (debt plus equity)			2,147.1				2,486.4

Debt to total capitalization			99	%			95	%
Net debt to net capitalization			99	%			94	%

We have substantial indebtedness. As of June 27, 2010, our total indebtedness was $2,135.5 million, including $55.3 million of short-term obligations payable to a third party under a financing arrangement. We also had up to $75.0 million available for letter of credit issuances under a synthetic letter of credit facility as of June 27, 2010. In addition, our Senior PIK-Election Notes permit us to pay interest by increasing the principal amount thereunder (“PIK-interest”) rather than paying cash interest through April 1, 2011. If we were to elect to pay PIK-interest for all periods in which we have the option, we will incur indebtedness in an amount equal to the PIK-interest. We elected to pay the April 2010 semi-annual interest payment on our Senior PIK-Election Notes by issuing additional PIK-election notes rather than by paying in cash. On April 1, 2010, we notified our noteholders that we have elected to pay the September 2010 semi-annual interest payment on our Senior PIK-Election Notes in cash.

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. As of June 27, 2010, we had $307.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and we had $236.5 million available under our revolving credit facility, net of $3.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. We continue to evaluate our short- and long-term balance sheet management plans. We have taken, and continue to take, various actions to preserve our liquidity and cash position, including reduced production levels to better meet expected demand; work force reductions consistent with the lower production levels; and other cost reduction efforts including facility consolidation, sharply reduced discretionary spending and deferrals of certain product development activity. We believe the actions discussed above will result in our having sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months; however, additional economic deterioration may further depress the business and general aviation market and we could be required to take additional measures to meet our liquidity needs.

Notes. Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. was formed in late 2006 by GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and Onex Partners II LP, an affiliate of Onex Corporation, for the purpose of purchasing the Raytheon Aircraft business from Raytheon Company (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the Acquisition, we issued $1,100.0 million of notes, including $400.0 million of 8.5% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due April 1, 2015, $400.0 million of 8.875%/9.625% Senior PIK-Election Notes due April 1, 2015 and $300.0 million of 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2017. In February 2008, we exchanged these notes for new notes with identical terms, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and do not bear restrictions on transferability mandated by the Securities Act or certain penalties for failure to file a registration statement relating to the exchange.

On June 2, 2009, we completed a cash tender offer to purchase a portion of our outstanding Senior Fixed Rate Notes, Senior PIK-Election Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The tender offer, along with open market purchases executed in the first quarter of 2009, resulted in an aggregate purchase of $496.6 million of our debt securities, realizing a net gain of $352.1 million.

An entity affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Onex Partners II LP completed open-market purchases of $152.8 million of our outstanding notes in February 2010. As of June 27, 2010, the debt acquired by such entity has not been retired and we will continue to pay interest in accordance with terms of the debt. During the second quarter of 2010, we paid interest on these notes by making cash payments of $0.4 million and by issuing $6.6 million of additional PIK-Election notes. As of June 27, 2010, the affiliates’ outstanding balance of these notes was $159.4 million and the amount of accrued interest associated with these notes was $3.6 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Also in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into senior secured credit facilities totaling $1,810.0 million, consisting of a $1,300.0 million term loan drawn at the close of the Acquisition, an undrawn $400.0 million revolving credit facility and a $110.0 million synthetic letter of credit facility. In March 2008, we reduced the synthetic letter of credit facility to $75.0 million based on our expected needs in the future. In December 2008, we amended the credit agreement to allow us to prepay, up to a maximum of $300.0 million, the secured term loan at a discount price to par to be determined pursuant to certain auction procedures.

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

On November 6, 2009, we further amended our credit agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provides that compliance with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio test under the Credit Agreement is waived. The continuing effectiveness of this waiver is subject to the condition that we shall not have made a restricted payment pursuant to certain available restricted payment baskets under the Credit Agreement. If this condition fails to be satisfied, then the waiver of the consolidated secured debt ratio covenant will be revoked and we will be required to comply (and, with respect to the two most recently completed fiscal quarters as of the earliest date that such condition shall fail be satisfied, to have complied) with the maximum consolidated secured debt ratio test in the Credit Agreement.

The Second Amendment added a new minimum liquidity covenant which requires our unrestricted cash plus available commitments under our revolving credit facility, determined in each case as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, must be not less than $162.5 million.

In addition, the Second Amendment added a new Adjusted EBITDA covenant requiring that, to the extent the consolidated secured debt ratio covenant is waived as described above, for any fiscal quarter beginning with the second quarter of 2011 for which any revolving facility commitment is outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter, we maintain a minimum Adjusted EBITDA as specified in the Second Amendment.

The initial effectiveness of the Second Amendment was conditioned upon, among other items, the permanent reduction of commitments under the revolving credit facility by $137.0 million (including amounts committed by Lehman Brothers). Following the reduction in commitments, the total availability under the revolving credit facility is $240.0 million after considering the expected reduction due to the Lehman bankruptcy discussed above.

On November 25, 2009, we entered into an Incremental Facility Supplement Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we were provided $200.0 million of new term loans (the “Series A New Term Loans”) under the incremental facilities provisions of the Credit Agreement. We paid a fee to the lenders on closing, in the form of an Original Issue Discount, equal to 6.0% of the agreement principal amount of the Series A New Term Loans.

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

 

•

incur indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

 

•

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

 

•

make investments or acquisitions;

 

•

create liens;

 

•

sell assets;

 

•

engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

 

•

guarantee indebtedness;

 

•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

 

•

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

As of June 27, 2010, we continued to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Seasonality

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

Backlog

Orders for aircraft are included in backlog upon receipt of an executed contract. Our backlog was $2.4 billion at June 27, 2010 of which 60.5% represented orders expected to be delivered beyond the next twelve months. Our backlog includes significant orders with the U.S. government. Backlog at June 27, 2010 includes the impact of a cancellation notice for 23 aircraft received from Net Jets in late June 2010. The impact of the cancellation was to reduce backlog by $0.4 billion; however none of the cancelled orders were scheduled for delivery in 2010 and only one was scheduled to deliver in 2011. We have no remaining backlog with Net Jets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We use customary off-balance sheet arrangements, such as operating leases and letters of credit, in the normal course of business. We may, from time to time, instruct banks to issue letters of credit on our behalf to support cash deposits and to guarantee the performance of our contractual obligations. None of the arrangements has or is likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 27, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits with respect to accidents involving our aircraft that allege personal injury and property damage and seek substantial recoveries, including, in some cases, punitive and exemplary damages. We maintain partial insurance coverage against such claims at a level determined by management to be prudent (see Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). In addition, Raytheon retained all product liability claims arising from incidents occurring after April 1, 2001 until March 25, 2007. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters or whether Raytheon will uphold its indemnity obligations (see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009). We are at risk of losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving aircraft for which we hold design authority. The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2007, the FAA informed us that it had initiated an investigation concerning compliance by one of our suppliers with part specifications involving our T-6A trainers and certain special mission King Air aircraft sold to the U.S. government. HBAC cooperated with the FAA investigation and conducted its own supplier quality audits. HBAC believes the alleged non-compliance condition does not impact safety of flight. On June 17, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas notified us that the FAA had referred a civil penalty matter arising out of its investigation to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for enforcement and that the FAA had recommended imposing civil penalties against HBAC. On July 22, 2010, the U.S. Attorney’s Office notified us that it intends to seek civil enforcement penalties of at least $2.6 million, as well as injunctive relief, against HBAC with respect to HBAC’s quality oversight of the supplier. We do not believe any resulting civil penalty would be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In April 2009, HBAC received a complaint naming it as a defendant in a qui tam lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The complaint alleged violations of the civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) arising from alleged supplier non-conformance with specifications and HBAC’s alleged inadequate quality control over the supplier’s manufacturing process on certain T-6 and King Air aircraft delivered to the government. The lawsuit, United States ex rel. Minge, et al. v. Turbine Engine Components Technologies Corporation, et al., No. 07-1212-MLB (D. Kan.), alleged FCA causes of action against HBAC (and its predecessor, Raytheon Aircraft Company) and FCA causes of action, retaliation causes of action, and a tort cause of action against TECT Aerospace Wellington, Inc. (“TECT”), an HBAC supplier, and various affiliates of TECT. On February 3, 2010, the District of Kansas court granted HBAC’s motion for summary judgment in the qui tam case. The Court permitted the FCA retaliation cause of action to proceed against TECT. On June 1, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion to reconsider the order granting summary judgment and a motion to amend the complaint. On August 2, 2010, the Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to reconsider the order but granted plaintiffs’ leave to file an amended complaint.

On April 7, 2009, Airbus UK Ltd. (“Airbus”) filed a Request for Arbitration (“RFA”) with the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in Paris initiating proceedings against HBAC. Airbus alleges that HBAC breached its obligations under the Airframe Purchase and Support Agreement dated August 19, 1998 between Airbus and HBAC. More particularly, Airbus claims that it and HBAC reached agreement in April of 2008 for HBAC to purchase increased volumes of fuselages, wings, track kits and spare parts (collectively the “shipsets”) in the 2008 to 2010 time frame. Airbus further alleges that (i) beginning in late 2008, HBAC unilaterally reduced the number of shipsets that it would purchase in breach of its contractual obligations and (ii) that Airbus made substantial investments to expand its production capacity at the urging of HBAC and in reliance on alleged expanded commitments from HBAC. On December 23, 2009, Airbus filed its Statement of Claim, which seeks an award of damages potentially in excess of £40 million. HBAC filed its Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on April 5, 2010 denying liability and asserting a counterclaim against Airbus in the amount of £6,433,015. The arbitration merits hearing was held July 27-30, 2010. Following post-hearing submissions, scheduled to be completed in October 2010, the tribunal will issue its final award.

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