    Response
The Company is encouraged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to use in its filing projections of future economic performance that have a reasonable basis and are presented in an appropriate format as expressed in page 21 forward. The Company believes that the projection of "estimated five years returns from manufacturing and the sale of its aircrafts" "MD&A" provides useful information to investors and represents a key measure used by management. According to Commission Guidance Regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, SEC Release No. FR-72, effective December 29, 2003 ("FR-72"), should be a discussion and analysis of a company's business as seen through the eyes of those who manage that business." FR-72 further provides that "companies should provide not only disclosure of information responsive to MD&A's requirements, but also an analysis that is responsive to those requirements that explains management's view of the implications and significance of that information and that satisfies the objectives of MD&A." The Company believes that its presentation of "estimated five year returns from manufacturing and selling its aircrafts is responsive to the Commission guidance under FR-72.
