Global Equity Research UBS Investment Research 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 Anatol • 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.

EFTA01088087 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.

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.

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. ■ Analyst Certification Each research analyst primarily responsible for the content of this research report. in whole or in part, certifies that with respect to each security or issuer that the analyst covered in this report: (I) all of the views expressed accurately reflect his or her personal views about those securities or issuers and were prepared in an independent manner, including with respect to UBS, and (2) no part of his or her compensation was, is, or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed by that research analyst in the research report.
