Re: Increase in Allowed Complement of Aircraft

As it has in the past, USA 3000 indicates that the operating costs resulting from each additional aircraft will be more than covered through internally generated revenues. As of April 30, 2004, USA 3000’s balance sheet indicates cash and cash equivalents of over $21 million. The carrier states that, in addition to internally generate funds, Mr. John Mullen, USA 3000’s founder and ultimate owner and the owner of Apple Vacations, continues to pledge financial support to the carrier. A letter from Mr. Mullen’s investment firm verifies he has a combination of liquid investments and an unused line-of-credit that would be sufficient to cover any costs not covered by internally-generated revenues.

The FAA has advised us that it has no objections to USA 3000’s adding aircraft beyond the current limit of 10 and that it has no present concerns with the carrier’s operations or management.

Based on the above, we have decided to increase USA 3000’s allowed complement of aircraft from ten to sixteen. Of course, USA 3000 must also receive the appropriate approval for the additional aircraft from the Federal Aviation Administration.
