UBS Business Jet Survey
S.Y.: r Ca-rimer:
North America Leading the Way
26 March 2012
• Index at 49, up 21%
Our latest Business Jet Market Index came in at 49. 21% higher than our prior
survey from January with all three market segment indices (small/mid/large)
increasing to near 50. Our measure of absolute business conditions increased 12%
to 4.5. as high as it has been since 2008. David E. Strauss

• Customer interest & 12 mo outlook lead survey
All five component scores moved higher with large increases in our customer
interest, pricing and l2-month outlook scores driving the overall increase in our Deny' Genovesi
index. Our customer interest and 12-month outlook scores are both now well above Malrst
50, indicating incremental improvement, although still high inventory levels
remain a drag on our index.
• North America customer interest strongest
Our overall customer interest score increased 27% led by strength in North
America (73). Latin America (68) and Asia (66). partially offset by relative
weakness in Middle East (53) and Europe (40).
• See positive risk-rewards for stocks
We believe North America bizjet is improving driven by replacement demand
postponed during the downturn. While the bizjet stocks have moved higher, we
still see positive risk-rewards as we don't think stocks incorporate much for bizjets
at current levels including Buy rated TXT/COLJGD.

UBS Business Jet Survey 26 March 2012
Business Jet Market Survey
Ow UBS Business Jet Market Survey is designed to provide timely market data
supplied directly by industry professionals. We regularly survey a group of US
domestic and international broker/dealers, manufacturers, fractional providers,
financiers and others, from whom we recently received 172 responses.
Investment Conclusion
Our latest Business Jet Market Index came in at 49, 21% higher than our prior
survey from January with all three market segment indices (smalUmid/large)
near 50. Our measure of absolute business conditions increased 12% to 4.5, as
high as it has been since 2008.
All five component scores moved higher with significant increases in our
customer interest, pricing and 12-month outlook scores driving overall increase
in our index. Our willingness score moved 16% higher to 51, slightly above 50,
indicating improvement in participants' willingness to take on additional
inventory. While all five components of our index moved higher this time, our
inventory and pricing scores remain below 50 indicative of still high inventory
levels and depressed used pricing.
Our young inventory score, not a component of our index, moved 4% higher this
time to 42, still indicative of oversupply of high-quality young used aircraft.
Our financing score, also not a component of our index, moved 14% higher to
61 and reflects continued improvement in financing availability.

UBS Business Jet Market Index
Our UBS Business Jet Market Index is a proprietary index designed to measure
the total "value" of the responses to our survey questions. We have weighted
each factor in our index based on our perception of its overall importance to the
condition of the new business jet market. Our index is scored on a scale of zero
to 100, with 51.100 representing incrementally strengthening market conditions,
50 incrementally stable, and 0-49 incrementally weakening market conditions.
Our March Business Jet Market Index came in at 49, 21% higher than our prior
survey in January.

Overall Business Conditions
In the first question, we asked, "On a scale of zero to 10, how would you
characterize overall business conditions after factoring typical seasonality (0 =
the worst ever, 5 = normal, 10 = the best ever)?" Note that while our Business
Jet Market Index (discussed earlier) indicates incremental change from the prior
period, this question is meant to measure the absolute level of business
conditions. We received 161 responses (II participants did not respond to this
question) with scores ranging from zero to eight.

Commentary
The following are selected comments from business jet professionals.
Overall Business Conditions
■ We saw an improvement in 2011 over 2010 and hope the trend continues.
■ Slightly more activity now than in recent past.
■ Much more activity since the start of the year.
■ Things are slowly improving.
■ Very uneven recovery favoring late serial number aircraft, which are very
robust in some markets. Huge difference between early and late serial
numbers this time.
■ Very good activity in Q4 2011. Typical activity in Q1 2012, but lower than
in 2011.
■ We're still bumping along the bottom.
Aircraft Values / Pricing
■ Pressure to sell this year's production slots (already work-in-process) will
continue to restrain prices for both new and used light jet models.
■ Prices have stabilized for now.
■ Still a buyer's market.
Outlook
■ We believe markets will remain flat this year.
■ We don't anticipate a recovery in values until late 2013 or early 2014.
■ We don't believe we're headed toward a big improvement this year given the
economy and problems in Europe/Middle East.
Customer Interest
■ We have seen a slight slow down in interest over the past few months.
■ Clients are on the sidelines waiting for improved economic conditions.
■ Interest returning to light jet market.
■ Interest amongst customers seems to be improving.
■ Activity has increased, but no one seems to want to pull the trigger.
■ Phone activity has been very quiet last 3.4 weeks, with exception of deals
already in the works.
International Markets
■ Some real opportunities with real buyers in India/SE Asia, however Europe
seems to still be asleep.
UBS 16
EFTA01088102
UBS BusinessJai Survey 26 March 2012
■ The African continent has shown a fair resilience to the economic slump,
specifically South Africa which has robust banking legislation and offers
good tax breaks on aircraft depreciation.
■ The expansion into Africa via South Africa is helping to underpin the
demand for business aircraft.
■ Poor airline safety records coupled with infrequent schedules are making
business aircraft justifiable to the African business community.
■ Germany and Eastern Europe are buying airplanes again.
■ Strong demand from emerging markets.
Financing
■ Weak demand for loans.
■ More and more leasing and unique funding solutions coming to market.
■ We have seen an increase in requests for financing for purchases in the last
30 days.
■ Statement of Risk
The business jet market is cyclical in nature, largely driven by the general
economic environment. Business jet manufacturers' earnings and cash flow are
dependent on end•user demand, availability of customer financing, program
execution and inventory management. Our estimates, ratings and price targets
for General Dynamics, Textron and Rockwell Collins are subject to additional
risks including poor program execution and government funding related to their
defense and security businesses. Additionally, Textron faces liquidity risks
related to it its asset based lending businesses.
