INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholder

Evergreen International Aviation, Inc.

McMinnville, Oregon

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F-1

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in default on its debt, has negative working capital, and in addition, is a guarantor of certain of its Parent’s and a Stockholder Affiliate’s debt that is also in default at December 31, 2012. The default on the Company’s and its Parent’s debt and the resulting liquidity concerns raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. (“Helicopters” or the “Company”) provides helicopter and small fixed-wing aircraft services throughout the world in connection with activities such as forest fire fighting, health services, aerial spraying, heavy lift construction, law enforcement, helicopter logging, petroleum support services, search and rescue, peacekeeping and relief support, helicopter skiing, and agriculture.

Helicopters own 100% of the following subsidiaries:

Controlling Stockholder and Related Parties: Helicopters is wholly-owned by Evergreen International Aviation, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Evergreen Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). Holdings’ founder and chairman of the board of directors is the majority stockholder of Holdings. In addition, the Company engages in transactions with the majority stockholder and other entities owned by, or controlled by the majority stockholder. Collectively, these entities are referred to as “Stockholder Affiliates” (Note 10).

The Company also engages in transactions with the Company’s Parent and the Parent’s subsidiaries (Note 10):

These entities listed above are collectively referred to as the “Parent.”

Management Plans and Liquidity Assessment: At the direction of the Parent, the Company has provided funds during the year ended December 31, 2012, as reflected in net transfers to Parent in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. These net transfers account for a significant portion of the Company’s cash used during the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company, as well as other affiliates, are co-guarantors of the Parent’s first and second lien credit agreements and as of December 31, 2012, Parent is in default under both the financial and non-financial covenants with these agreements due to the Parent’s lack of liquidity to make scheduled payments. At December 31, 2012, the balance of the first and second lien agreements total approximately $300,000. The Company, Parent and majority stockholder also guarantee the debt of a Stockholder Affiliate to 1^st Source Bank. On March 13,

2013, 1^st Source Bank filed a complaint with the United States District Court of Oregon for replevin of collateral and enforcement of promissory notes and guarantees with a claim of approximately $10,100. In addition, the Company has a negative working capital of $14,102 and is in default with its mortgage and other term loans totaling approximately $11,600 at December 31, 2012.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net income of $17,651 for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $70,578 for the year ended December 31, 2012. However, the default on the Company’s, its Parent’s and Stockholder Affiliate’s debt and the resulting liquidity concerns raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On March 18, 2013, the Parent and the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated (EAC), a publicly-traded company, in which EAC is to acquire all of the common stock of the Company for a combination of cash, promissory notes and preferred shares of EAC. Closing of this transaction is expected to occur during the second calendar quarter of 2013; however, the closing is subject to various terms and conditions, and there can be no assurance that all such terms and conditions will be satisfied.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Helicopters and its wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are not significant.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company considers its critical accounting policies involving more significant judgments and estimates to be those related to revenue recognition, deferred income taxes, useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment, and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition: Helicopters generates flight revenue under service contracts that range in term from less than one year to five years. Helicopters typically charges by the number of hours flown, with a minimum number of hours per day, plus a monthly availability fee. Helicopters frequently modifies its general pricing structure in order to more closely match the characteristics of the mission. The various types of pricing methods utilized by Helicopters includes pricing by weight for transport of goods, pricing by acre for aerial spraying, and pricing by number of pickups for construction work. Flight revenue is recognized when services are performed and monthly for fixed availability fees over the term of the agreement.

Certain contracts provide for mobilization fees, which represent recovery of the costs incurred in deploying aircraft to a customer. Mobilization fees, and related direct and incremental mobilization costs, are deferred and amortized over the term of the contract.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents those short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash and have a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted Investments: The Company maintains restricted investments in certificate of deposit accounts at December 31, 2012, supporting letters of credit required for aircraft leases with contractual lease terms through 2019 that are held by the Company’s Parent. These investments are classified as held to maturity and are stated at cost which approximates market with an average term to maturity of less than one year (November 2013). The Company plans to extend the maturity date of the certificate of deposit accounts at maturity given the contractual collateral requirements under the letters of credit. As such, these restricted investments have been reflected as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012.

Accounts Receivable, Net: Accounts receivable, net consists of amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts for losses that may result from the inability of its customers to make required payments or from contract disputes. The Company also periodically records an allowance for the general collectability of all other receivables based upon factors such as the aging of receivables and historical collection experience. The December 31, 2012 accounts receivable balance of $24,213 is reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $100. Interest is not normally charged on receivables.

Inventories: The Company’s inventories consist primarily of aircraft rotable parts, expendable parts, supplies for aircraft maintenance, and aviation fuel (collectively, “aircraft parts inventories”).

Aircraft parts inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Aircraft parts inventories that are utilized for aircraft maintenance/fuel are charged to operations when used. All other inventories are charged to operations when sold.

Refundable Deposits: The Company maintains deposits with vendors in conjunction with aircraft lease agreements and other commitments.

Assets Held for Sale: The Company classifies aircraft parts and other assets as held for sale and ceases the amortization of the assets when there is a plan for disposal of the assets and those assets meet the held for sale criteria in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company records aircraft parts and other assets held for sale at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is recorded at cost. The Company depreciates its property and equipment down to estimated residual values utilizing the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives for its primary property and equipment classes are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

December 31, 2012

(amounts in thousands)

When the Company sells or otherwise disposes of property or equipment, the remaining carrying amount is charged to income.

The Company capitalizes all costs of major renewals, modifications, and overhauls of its aircraft. The Company amortizes the costs of such major overhaul components as follows:

Small Fixed-Wing Aircraft and Helicopters: The cost of major overhaul components is not amortized separately, but depreciated as a part of the cost of the aircraft. The cost of subsequent major overhauls are capitalized and amortized over the estimated operating hours, generally a period of five years or less.

Rotable Assets: The cost of rotable asset overhauls is segregated and amortized separately from the aircraft. The Company capitalizes the costs of rotable asset overhauls for its small fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters and then amortizes these costs over the estimated useful lives of the overhauls, generally a period of five years or less. The cost of repairing rotable assets is expensed as incurred.

Amortization of overhauls and depreciation of property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $6,136 and $10,328, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company annually, or as required, evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, primarily aircraft and other property and equipment. The Company evaluates recoverability when events and circumstances indicate that the net carrying value of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by its long-lived assets is less than the assets’ net carrying value. Based on its analyses, at December 31, 2012, there was no asset impairment required.

Leased Aircraft—Overhauls and Lease Return Condition Costs: The Company accounts for the overhaul and lease return condition costs of its leased aircraft in accordance with the applicable lease agreements. Generally, the Company capitalizes the costs of the required major maintenance and inspection of engines and airframes for its leased aircraft. The Company then amortizes such capitalized costs over the lesser of (i) the number of years until the next scheduled overhaul, generally a period of five years or less, or (ii) the termination of the lease. Maintenance and repairs for engines and airframe components under power-by-the-hour contracts are expensed as the aircraft are operated based upon actual hours or cycles flown and based upon the contractual terms of the agreements.

Income Tax and Uncertain Tax Positions: The Company operates as a C Corporation for income tax purposes and is included with Parent in the consolidated federal income tax returns filed by Holdings, which reports and files on a February fiscal year end. The Company has computed total tax expense and deferred taxes using a separate return method. Accordingly, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent a determination is made that these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event a determination is made that the Company would be unable to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The manner in which the entity determines whether a valuation allowance is needed depends on the tax-sharing agreement among the members of the group filing the consolidated tax return. If the tax-sharing agreement is based on the tax expense or benefit the subsidiary would pay or receive if it filed a separate tax return, the evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance would be the same as if the subsidiary filed a separate tax return (assuming that the Parent has the ability to honor its obligation under the tax-sharing agreement).

If there is no formal tax-sharing agreement or the tax-sharing agreement is inconsistent with the method of allocating income tax to the subsidiary, the evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance should be consistent with the tax allocation method used. The Company does not have a formal tax-sharing agreement with Parent. Accordingly, valuation allowance considerations were consistent with the separate return method for allocation of taxes. The Company has evaluated the need for valuation allowance on a separate return basis and determined that a valuation allowance is not necessary based on the reversal of timing differences related to deferred tax liabilities.

The Company follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded at the subsidiary level related to this position. During the period, the Company recorded taxes, interest and penalties of $3,871 of unrecognized tax benefits (UTB) related to non-filing in a foreign jurisdiction. In addition, the Company has recorded the benefits of the foreign tax credit and federal benefits of the UTB interest (Note 5). In the event the foreign tax is paid and the uncertain tax liability reduced, the realization of the related benefits recorded in deferred tax assets would need to be reassessed.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as various state income taxes. The Company is no longer subject to US Federal tax examinations for years before February 28, 2009, and State jurisdictions that remain subject to examination range from February 28, 2009 to December 31, 2012. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has accrued $2,183 for interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 2012 relating to uncertain tax positions (See Note 5).

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Major Customers: Revenue generated under various contracts with agencies of the U.S. government accounted for approximately 48% of the Company’s total revenues as of December 31, 2012. Revenue as subcontractor for government contractors is 43% of the Company’s total revenue. Amounts receivable from these agencies were approximately $23,656 at December 31, 2012. Of these governmental contracts, one governmental agency accounted for 28% and one subcontractor arrangement accounted for 33% of the Company’s total revenues as of December 31, 2012 with accounts receivable of 27% and 37% respectively.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Company has certain vendor payable transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses (transactions denominated in a currency other than local currency) are generally included in other income (expense). For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $20 of losses on foreign currency.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent deposits at December 31, 2012, were primarily with two financial institutions. The Company grants credit to customers throughout the world. Its primary customer base consists of various agencies of the United States government and large global government service providers. The credit strength of this customer base is derived from its geographical diversity and from its long history of payment on services provided. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Subsequent Events: The Company has performed an analysis of the activities and transactions subsequent to the fiscal year end to determine the need for any adjustments to or disclosure within the consolidated financial statements for the year December 31, 2012. Management has performed their analysis through March 22, 2013, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

As further disclosed in Notes 1, 8 and 10, on March 13, 2013, 1^st Source Bank filed a complaint with the United States District Court of Oregon for replevin of collateral and enforcement of promissory notes and guarantees with a claim of approximately $10,100. The Company, Parent and majority stockholder guarantee the 1^st Source Bank debt.

NOTE 3—SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

On September 27, 2010, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its subsidiary Evergreen Unmanned Systems, Inc. (“EUS”) to an unrelated party. The agreement provided for additional payments of up to $4,000 pursuant to an earn-out provision to be measured at February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011. Certain of the defined earnings targets were determined to be met at December 31, 2011. Therefore, the Company was entitled to additional payments of $2,000, which were received in April 2012.

NOTE 4—DEBT

Mortgage Loan: The Company has entered into a 10-year term mortgage ($8,800 balloon in June 2019) with a bank, collateralized by the Company’s corporate headquarters and aircraft hangar in McMinnville, Oregon. At December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance was $10,934. Interest is variable and determined at the five year treasury plus 2.75% (minimum 5.25%) and shall adjust in June 2014. The effective interest rate on this mortgage was 5.25% as of December 31, 2012. Principal and interest payments of $70 are due monthly.

Other Term Loans: The Company has entered into various term loans, one of which is collateralized by a specific aircraft, and which matures at various dates through 2014. At December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding balance of $700 and requires monthly interest and principal payments of $21. Interest rates under these term loans are fixed at rates ranging up to 10.3%.

The Company is in default with the above loans due to lack of liquidity resulting in the Company not meeting scheduled payments. As such, the outstanding balance at December 31, 2012 has been reflected as a current liability. At the discretion of the lenders, the Company is subject to default interest rates.

Stockholder Affiliate Guarantee: The Company leases certain aircraft from a Stockholder Affiliate as further discussed in Notes 7 and 10. The Company, Parent, and majority stockholder guarantee the Stockholder Affiliate’s debt related to these specific aircraft. In addition, the Company’s leased aircraft serve as collateral for the Stockholder Affiliate debt. The Company has determined that the fair value of its guarantee is immaterial considering the fair value of the leased aircraft exceeds the associated outstanding debt obligations.

During February of 2013, the Stockholder Affiliate defaulted on installment payments to 1^st Source Bank as further discussed in Notes 1, 2, 8 and 10. On March 13, 2013, 1^st Source Bank filed a complaint with the United States District Court of Oregon for replevin of collateral and enforcement of promissory notes and guarantees with a claim of approximately $10,100.

Parent Company Debt: The Company is a guarantor on a term and line of credit First Lien Agreement and a term Second Lien Credit Agreement held by the Parent. This debt has not been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the debt was not used to purchase the Company and the Company’s cash flow from operations and financial position does not necessitate borrowings under the agreements. The Company’s assets also serve as collateral for the Parent’s loans.

As of December 31, 2012, Parent was in default under both the financial and non-financial covenants of these agreements. All Helicopters owned assets serve as collateral under the First Lien and Second Lien Credit Agreements. The balances of the First Lien and Second Lien loans were $174,779 and $119,157 at December 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 5—INCOME TAXES

The Company has computed current and deferred taxes using a separate return method. The operations of the Company are included with Parent in the consolidated federal income tax returns filed by Holdings, which reports and files on a February fiscal year end. The Company is included in the consolidated tax return filing with Holdings; however, the Company has computed current and deferred taxes using a separate company approach. As a result of cash not being settled between subsidiary and Parent for the current taxes due on a separate return method, the current payable has been settled through the Net Investment of Parent as shown in the tabular Note 10 disclosure.

The components of the income tax expense as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

The following table presents the tax effects of the temporary differences that gave rise to the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2012:

NOTE 6—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution plan (“the Plan”) covering all full-time employees of the Company who have been credited with one year of service, are at least 21 years of age, are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement and are not a temporary employee. Under the Plan, the Company makes a basic contribution equal to 4% of the annual compensation of each participant who has completed the minimum required hours of service during the Plan year (“Basic Contributions”). In addition, the Company matches, on a 50% matching basis, each participant’s contribution which is not in excess of 8% of the participant’s base compensation (“Matching Contributions”). The Company may also make additional discretionary contributions at the option of the Board of Directors.

Plan participants direct the investment of both their contributions and the Company’s contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participant contributions into the Plan vest immediately. Company contributions into the plan start to vest when the participant has completed two years of service with the Company, at which time the participant will be 20% vested. Thereafter, additional vesting occurs at a rate of 20% per year until the participant is fully vested.

The Company made contributions of approximately $300 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company did not make any discretionary contributions during year.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS

Operating Leases: The Company leases aircraft, land, buildings and equipment under cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases with certain of these leases guaranteed by Parent. The Company also leases aircraft from entities that are owned by or controlled by the majority stockholder as further discussed in Note 10. Rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases having an original term of one year or more at December 31, 2012, are as follows:

The Company maintains several leases on a month-to-month basis. Total rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 approximated $36,079, including Stockholder Affiliates rent expense of approximately $10,061.

During 2012, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement with an aircraft lessor effective October, 1 2012. As part of this agreement, the lessor agreed to defer the lease payments from October 2012 through January 2013 and apply the payments to the end of the lease. As of December 31, 2012, Helicopters recorded a deferred lease liability of approximately $1,200. In addition, as part of this agreement, the Company pledged refundable deposits of approximately $3,500 to an affiliate related to their leases with lessor.

Advance Payments: The Company makes advanced payments for overhauls of aircraft engines. As of December 31, 2012, the Company paid approximately $708 of non-refundable deposits to various vendors for engine overhauls. The Company reflected these deposits as non-current in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012.

NOTE 8—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS & CONTINGENCIES

1^st Source Bank: The Company leases certain aircraft from a Stockholder Affiliate as further discussed in Notes 7 and 10. The majority stockholder, Parent and Company guarantee the Stockholder Affiliate’s debt related to these specific aircraft. During February of 2013, the Stockholder Affiliate defaulted on installment payments to 1^st Source Bank. On March 13, 2013, 1^st Source Bank filed a complaint with the United States District Court of Oregon for replevin of collateral and enforcement of promissory notes and guarantees with a claim of approximately $10,100. See Note 1, Management Plans and Liquidity Assessment, and Note 2, Subsequent Events, and Notes 4 and 10 for further discussions.

Priority 1 Air Rescue Services: In November 2012, Priority 1 brought breach of contract claims against Helicopters related to two subcontracts between Priority 1 and Helicopters. The suit alleges that Helicopters failed to pay invoices for work in the amount of approximately $704. It also claims additional amounts for consequential damages and interest resulting in a total claim of approximately $2,044. Helicopters responded to the complaint in December 2012 and denied the allegations. Management, after consultation with counsel, has determined the range of loss to be between $475 and the total claim amount. The Company has recorded in accounts payable $475 at December 31, 2012.

Fortis Lease Deutschland GmbH: In 2011, a third party, Cypress Financial Corporation, purchased two helicopters from Fortis on Helicopters’ behalf and subsequently leased them to the Company. Fortis is demanding payment of approximately 817 euro (approximately $1,078) in damages for the amount of valued-added-tax (VAT) levied on the purchase price of the helicopters plus interest. Management is currently working with Cypress and Fortis to resolve the matter and believes the transaction should be exempt from VAT. Legal counsel estimates a range of potential loss between 880 euro (approximately $1,162) and approximately 1,000 euro (approximately $1,320) prior to any refund of the VAT. Management does not believe there is any direct financial impact relating to this case and has not accrued for any potential loss. However, no assurance may be given regarding the ultimate ability of Helicopters to receive the VAT refund until foreign tax authorities approve and remit the proceeds.

Agusta Westland: On July 17, 2012, Agusta Westland delivered a notice to the Company demanding immediate payment for alleged amounts owed for aircraft parts and technical assistance provided since 2006. Helicopters is in the process of reconciling the amount owed with Agusta and is currently negotiating a payment plan for past due amounts. The total amount recorded in accounts payable at December 31, 2012 is approximately $2,221, which is the amount Helicopters believes to be currently owed.

DivLend Equipment Leasing: On December 7, 2012, DivLend filed a lawsuit for $14,513 against Helicopters and the Parent for failure to make timely payments on helicopter leases and alleged defaults under certain Parent guaranty agreements. At December 31, 2012, the Company believed it was up to date on payments through November 2012, and therefore, has recorded in accounts payable the December 2012 payments of $253. Helicopters believes this is the only portion of the suit it is liable for and intends to vigorously defend this case.

State of Arizona—Superfund: Helicopters, among others, is a defendant in an environmental investigation relating to two separate Superfund clean-up sites in Arizona. Management is currently monitoring the case as it is in preliminary stages and plans to engage outside counsel with area expertise if the case develops further. The outcome of the lawsuit is unknown, but Helicopters intends to contest the case vigorously. However, no assurance may be given regarding the ultimate outcome of these claims.

Other Matters: Helicopters is involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the financial outcome of each proceeding, management does not believe that the proceedings will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following three levels of input may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include items where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, restricted investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s variable rate debt approximates fair value because variable interest rates closely correlate to changes in market conditions, including default interest rates. The Company’s fixed-rate debt balances as of December 31, 2012 were approximately $700 representing other term loans (Note 4). The Company believes that the fair value of the fixed-rate debt approximates its carrying value.

NOTE 10—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with the Parent: The consolidated financial statements include certain revenue transactions and expense allocations from the Parent. Helicopters recognizes revenue for the Parent’s use of two aircraft for company travel. Flight revenue is recognized for actual flight hours, and support services revenue is recognized for additional amounts incurred. The Company also sold aircraft parts to the Parent throughout the year.

Expenses are allocated based on the Company’s number of employees for certain functions provided by the Parent, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and employee benefits. Additionally, expenses related to administrative functions and overhead are incurred by Holdings on behalf of Helicopters. The amount incurred for these services was $737 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and are included in administrative and operational expenses in the below table. These expenses have been allocated on the basis of headcount or by other measures.

These allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as an independent business for the period presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been operating on a stand-alone basis would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organization structure, the functions outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.

The Company is also a guarantor on a term and line of credit First Lien Agreement and term Second Lien Credit Agreement held by the Parent. As of December 31, 2012, Parent was in default under both the financial and non-financial covenants of these agreements. This debt has not been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as further discussed in Note 4. In addition, the Parent guarantees certain Company non-related party lease payment arrangements (Note 7).

Transactions with Stockholder Affiliates: Helicopters leases several aircraft from Stockholder Affiliates. The Company received free rent in January and February of 2012 on all its aircraft leases, including month-to-month leases, from a Stockholder Affiliate. The Company reflected this free rent as contributed capital as the contractual lease obligations for this period were forgiven.

The Company has determined that its guarantee of the Stockholder Affiliate’s debt associated with its leased assets constitutes a variable interest. Accordingly, the Stockholder Affiliate is a variable interest entity (VIE). However, the Company does not have the ability to direct the activities of the Stockholder Affiliate, and therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the Stockholder Affiliate. Accordingly, the Company has not included the Stockholder Affiliate’s results of operations and financial condition in the Company’ consolidated financial statements. Further, the Company is restricted on transferring any assets or providing any other subordinated financial support to its Stockholder Affiliates under the First and Second Lien Agreements (Note 4). The Company has determined that its maximum exposure relative to the VIE is as follows:

Subsequent to December 31, 2012, as discussed in Notes 1, 2, 4, and 8, this same Stockholder Affiliate is in default on installment payments to 1^st Source Bank of approximately $10,100, which the Company guarantees. In addition, it is uncertain if the Company’s accounts receivable, refundable deposits and prepaid and other assets at December 31, 2012 will be collectible or realized.

Parent Investment in the Company: It is not meaningful to show additional paid-in capital or retained earnings for the Company. The net assets are represented by the net investment of Parent, which comprises total share of capital and retained earnings of Helicopters.

All significant intercompany transactions between the Parent and Helicopters have been included in these consolidated financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a financing activity and in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholder

Evergreen Helicopters, Inc.

McMinnville, Oregon

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the years ended February 29, 2012, February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended February 29, 2012, February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company, and other affiliates, are guarantors of certain debt obligations of the parent company and a stockholder affiliate. Subsequent to February 29, 2012, the parent company and a stockholder affiliate defaulted on the terms and covenants of debt guaranteed by the Company. The Company is also in default on certain of its debt obligations. The ultimate outcome, and the impact of continuing defaults, on these obligations and the Company’s financial position, is uncertain.
