DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Corporate History

Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. (TADS) is a Nevada public corporation that offers air combat training, mid-air refueling, ground-threat support, aerial fire-fighting, and specialty aerial services to the U.S. and Foreign Militaries and other Federal and State Agencies. TADS is certified by the United States Government as a private-sector military contractor and has been granted the required security clearances.

The executive offices of TADS are located in West Palm Beach, Florida.

As a result of the U.S. Base Foreclosure Act, the overall downsizing of the armed forces of the U.S. and its foreign allies, and the advanced age of the U.S. military air fleet, there is insufficient equipment and personnel to meet demands for combat air training and mid-air refueling training. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and various regional conflicts and terrorist’s acts, have only added to this crisis. The private-sector is now being asked to fill a role once the exclusive domain of the military, and the capabilities of civilian contractors are well recognized, and are frequently proven superior and more efficient than public-sector contractors.
 
Through an exclusive lease arrangement, TADS has the only Soviet ILyushin IL-78/76 aircraft in the U.S. In addition to their mid-air refueling capabilities, the ILyushin aircraft are the only planes ever built for the purpose of aerial fire-fighting, and are recognized as far superior to any other aircraft in existence for this purpose. The ILyushin aircraft are dedicated water-bombers that are capable of quickly and efficiently disbursing large quantities of water or fire retardant to defeat the increasing damage from the extensive forest fires in the Western U.S. and other areas. Due to the escalating forest fire crisis in the Western U.S., and the unique capabilities and exclusivity of its ILyushin aircraft, TADS has experienced significant interest for fire-fighting services from both Federal and State Agencies.
 
In order to meet present and future military, environmental, and financial threats, the United States and its allies must continue to commit billions of dollars to training, preparedness, and execution. These needs cannot be met without the support of the private-sector. We believe that there is currently no other private-sector contractor which can adequately fulfill these diverse and urgent demands, and we believe that TADS possesses the aircraft, personnel, and operational skills necessary to claim a significant piece of this rapidly growing and highly-profitable market for diverse air support services.

TADS Corporate History

TADS was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 1998 under the name Natalma Industries, Inc. Originally, TADS operated as a junior mining company engaged in the exploration of mining properties. We were unsuccessful in locating a joint venture partner to assist us in the development of our mining claims. As a result, TADS was unable to pay for and perform the exploration and development required in its agreement with the owners of its properties and lost our rights to the mining claims. Our management at the time, therefore determined that it was in the best interest of our shareholders that we seek potential operating businesses and business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with another business, which led to the purchase substantially all of the assets of AeroGroup Incorporated (the “AeroGroup Acquisition”).
 
AeroGroup Corporate History

AeroGroup Incorporated commenced its operations and business plan as a contractor of military flight training as AeroGroup International Corporation in January 2002,   and eventually merged with and acquired AeroGroup Incorporated, which was, prior to such time, a non-operating entity called Diversified Resources Group, Inc.

In June of 2006, AeroGroup, through its subsidiaries, acquired two MiG 29 aircraft in Ukraine, and four flight simulators (which we then purchased from AeroGroup in the AeroGroup Acquisition) from three entities controlled by Mark Daniels, a Director, majority beneficial shareholder, and an Officer of TADS. AeroGroup also acquired various government licenses and permits that enable it to trade, own and operate military class aircraft and to bid for government contracts. Specifically, AeroGroup acquired the following intellectual property from Mark Daniels:
 
·
Copyrights to a specialized F-16 Fighter Aircraft training course syllabus, specially created by AeroGroup in training pilots to use this aircraft’s Flight Control Navigation Panel; and
 
·
Assignments of Provisional applications for utility patents   filed relating to methods of operational training uses of fighter aircraft by civilian corporations of these types of military aircraft for training of military personnel, specifically F-16, Pat. Pend. 60805870; Kfir, Pat. Pend. 60805885; A-4 Skyhawk, Pat Pend. 60805877; and MiG 29, Pat Pend. 60805888.

AeroGroup has provided operational training support for F-16 Flight training with the Royal Netherlands Air Force in Melbourne Florida in 2003 and in Jacksonville Florida in 2004.

Air Combat Training
 
Air combat training exercises are currently conducted by the training commands of the United States Air Force, United States Navy, and of most of our NATO, SEATO, and foreign allies. Neither the U. S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”) nor its allies have sufficient personnel, support equipment, or access to foreign enemy aircraft, to meet current demand. In many instances our European allies have neither the facilities nor the extensive airspace required for fighter combat training or fighter bombing training that TADS can provide.

TADS intends to provide the highest standard of air combat training to the U.S. military and its allies, and to other domestic and foreign agencies.
 
 U.S. Military Training
 
A crucial component to aerial combat training involves training against actual foreign adversary aircraft which are typically Russian, ex-Soviet block, or Chinese. However, because the U.S. military has little to no access to “enemy” aircraft, the status-quo has been to use aged U.S. military aircraft operating as the adversarial or “Red Air” aircraft. The status-quo leaves much to be desired because aged U.S. military aircraft do not possess the flying characteristics or capabilities of sophisticated enemy combat aircraft, nor do they emit the same electronic, radar, or visual signals.
 
Through its agreement with a U.S. company licensed by the U.S. DoD to import foreign weapons of war and one of only five companies in the world approved by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to purchase and export military equipment, TADS can provide unique Red Air aggressor squadrons consisting of the only 4th generation MIG 29’s, Sukhoi SU-27’s, and ILyushin IL-78’s available in the U.S., and which aircraft are the actual fighter aircraft currently used by substantially all of the former Soviet block countries and non-allied nations.

In connection with contracts to provide adversary combat aircraft to the U.S. military, TADS would supply various support services such as adversary pilots, parts and service and maintenance of the adversary aircraft, tactical training, actual aggressor simulated combat, and classroom instruction.
 
TADS is currently in Phase IV, the final phase, of $207 million government contract to provide air combat training and support to the U.S. military. The contract has been finalized and awarded to TADS, the funding amount has been stipulated, and the requirements of the contract have been established. TADS is now awaiting for the contract to be “tasked” by various customers which require the services established in the contract, for the final definitive contract face page to be signed, and for the funds are MIPRed from the customers and secured for the contract. Although TADS believes that the $207 million contract awarded to TADS will be “tasked”, signed, and the funds MIPRed and secured, no assurances can be given.
 
TADS is also preparing to bid on a teaming arrangement contract to supply fighter aircraft and an ILyushin IL-78 to a division of the U.S. DoD for red-air combat and mid-air refueling training. This is the expansion of an existing contract which had been awarded to a competitor of ours, and has come up for renewal. The teaming partner would manage the contract but would outsource the execution of certain fighter aircraft and the IL-78 to TADS. Although out teaming partner and TADS believes that we have a good chance of being awarded the contract, no assurances can be given.
 
In addition, TADS has recently entered Phase I with another branch of the U.S. military to supply MIG 29 and Sukhoi SU-27 aircraft and services in contemplation of a contract anticipated to be funded with approximately $300 million. Although TADS believes that its prospects for being awarded the $300 million contract are good due to TADS having been specifically invited to present its services and capabilities, and due to TADS’ not being aware of any other U.S. companies with the ability or resources to fulfill the requirements anticipated by the prospective contract, no assurances can be given that TADS will be awarded the contract.
 
Foreign Air Combat Training

Unlike the training of the U.S. military, air combat training of foreign allied militaries typically entails air combat training techniques and strategies using U.S. military aircraft such as the F-16, which such foreign militaries have already purchased. Although a commercial endeavor, it has been a strategic decision of the U.S. government to supply U.S. fighter aircraft to its allies. However, the ability and resources of the U.S. military to thereafter train the foreign purchasers of its aircraft is extremely limited and sub-par.
 
6

 
As a result, there is a backlog of allied countries that have purchased F-16’s and other U.S. fighter aircraft, and that have immediate and ongoing need for air combat training. TADS is able to offer to foreign militaries actual combat training from highly experienced U.S. fighter pilots, classroom training, and parts, service, and maintenance protocols for their aircraft. TADS also has the capability to either train on foreign soil and foreign military bases to fulfill multi-year contracts, or to provide a turn-key solution by hosting foreign militaries on U.S. soil, and therein provide not only pilots, training protocols, and parts, service, and maintenance, but also the air-bases, bombing ranges, fueling services, housing requirements, etc.

TADS is currently fulfilling a $6.4 million contract for the Belgian Air Force (“BAF”). The BAF contract was awarded to TADS in October of 2007, and tasked in March of 2008. The contract requires classroom and air combat training using F-16’s at the Kleine-Brogel Air Base in Belgium, using BAF facilities, equipment, and materials, and initially consists of two F-16 instructor pilots. The BAF has expressed interest in increasing the number of pilots after year-one, although no assurances can be given that this event will occur.

Through the BAF contract, TADS has also recently graduated four pilots from the Air Force of a Middle-Eastern ally, and is currently pursuing a direct contract for additional training services with said allied Air Force, although no assurances can be given that a final contract will be awarded to TADS.

In addition, TADS is currently in the early phases of air combat training contracts with other allied and NATO countries to provide F-16 training, support, and services, and although TADS believes that it is well-positioned to be awarded any and all of these foreign contracts, no assurances can be given.

Ground-Threat Support

The U.S. military regularly trains against “enemy” ground-threats, typically Russian and Ukrainian Air Defense surface-to-air missile systems.  These systems make up approximately 95% of all known ground-threats used by perceived hostile states and groups around the world such as North Korea, Syria, Iran, the Taliban, etc. 

Notably, however, the U.S. DoD has been unable to acquire and support working examples of said Russian and Ukrainian systems with which to train. As a replacement, the U.S. military uses replica or “same signal” practice units which offer a sub-par training experience due to at times materially different physical and electronic characteristics.

To the best of our knowledge, TADS, through its agreement with a supplier of Russian systems, is the only U.S. company able to provide and support Russian and Ukrainian joint-threat emitter (“JTE”) systems in good working condition, and as a result we can provide a much more effective and value-added training experience to the U.S. and allied militaries.

As a direct consequence of our proposals to several DoD entities, a public Request for Information was issued, and TADS, through its agreement with the supplier of Russian systems, proposed selling this equipment with support contracts to operate and maintain the equipment. It was determined that TADS through sais supplier was the only company capable of providing and operating this equipment, and we are currently waiting for funding to be issued to be awarded a contract.

Although said JTE contract is anticipated be initially be budgeted for $5 million, the JTE program budget is approximately $500 million per year, and we anticipate, but cannot guarantee that TADS will be awarded a final JTE contract, that said contract budget will be greatly expanded from the initial $5 million, and that TADS is well-positioned to be awarded additional ground-threat support contracts.

Mid–Air Refueling

As demonstrated by the debacle between Boeing and AES in the awarding of the next generation of mid-air refueling aircraft, mid-air refueling is big business, and the U.S. fleet of mid-air refueling aircraft, which were all built in the 1950’s, is operating well below the required levels. With its aging fleet and the uncertainty of the delivery of new tankers, there is an immediate need for the military to outsource re-fueling training.

TADS operates the only ILyushin IL-78 refueling tanker aircraft available in the U.S., and is in the process of acquiring additional aircraft. The IL-78 is used for mid-air refueling by most air forces in the world including Russia, most former Soviet republics, China, India, Pakistan, Cuba, Libya, Syria, and many others. The TADS IL-78 is the Midas version, which is presently undergoing final preparation by TADS in Texas for certification, and is configured for mid-air refueling. It is capable of re-fueling at an airspeed exceeding 400 knots, and can deliver fuel to three aircraft simultaneously. TADS will provide its IL-78 for re-fueling during air combat training sessions and for contract re-fueling of U.S. military squadrons.

TADS is currently in Phase IV, the final phase, of $207 million government contract, a part of which provides airborne refueling training and ancillary services, and we anticipate but cannot guarantee that this will lead to execution and fulfillment of a contract.
 
In preliminary discussions with TADS, U.S. DoD representatives expressed their intentions to contract with TADS for the use of its fleet of IL-78’s for mid-air refueling services as soon as it is operational, although no assurances can be given that these discussions will lead to the awarding of a final contract to TADS.
 
In addition, as the only company able to provide an IL-78 within the U.S., TADS has been asked by a large U.S. defense contractor to provide an IL-78 and support for approximately 500 hours of flight-time. TADS is currently in advances discussions, and anticipates receiving a letter-of-intent in due course, although no assurances can be given. Said defense contractor is a manufacturer of fighter jets, and is in the final stages of signing a contract with a foreign ally which has requested that the defense contractor demonstrate that the fighter jets to be purchased can be refueled specifically from an IL-78.

Aerial Fire-Fighting

In addition to its military operation capabilities, the IL-76/78 is the only large aircraft ever built for the purpose of aerial water-bombing, and is considered by most fire-fighting experts as the most capable. The ILyushin IL-76/78 aircraft are dedicated water-bombers that are capable of quickly and efficiently disbursing large quantities of water or fire retardant to defeat the increasing damage from the extensive forest fires in the Western U.S. and other areas. Due to the escalating forest fire crisis in the Western U.S., and the unique capabilities and exclusivity of its ILyushin aircraft, TADS has experienced a significant increase in demand for water-bombing services from both Federal and State agencies.

With a cruising speed of up to 800 knots per hour, the IL-76/78 can reach most locations in the world in approximately twelve hours. When fitted with a triple-tank reservoir system, it can hold approximately 18,000 gallons of water or fire-retardant, the largest capacity of any water-bombing aircraft in existence. In a single pass over a forest fire the IL-76/78 can disburse enough liquid to cover an area exceeding 200 yards wide and 600 yards long which is over a third of a mile in length and the equivalent of two rows of six football fields. To see the IL-76/78 disburse thousands of gallons over a wide area at extremely low altitude is overwhelming and convincing of its superiority in this role. The IL-76/78 can then be re-filled and ready to take off for another cycle within minutes.

As exemplified by the state-of emergency declared by California recently, the United States Forest Service estimates that forest fires will be a permanent threat, and TADS is preparing to lease additional IL-76/78 aircraft specifically configured for water-bombing. In addition to the substantial revenue stream that TADS anticipates from these services, we believe that the publicity that can result from these fire-fighting operations will be priceless.
 
TADS is exploring opportunities with State and Federal agencies in connection with providing aerial fire-fighting services to combat the seemingly ever-growing devastation of forest fires, and anticipates but cannot guarantee that these discussions will lead to the final award of a contract in 2009 or 2010.

Specialty Aerial Services

In addition to its use as a mid-air refueling aircraft and as an aerial fire-fighter, the unique characteristics of the IL-78/76 “super-tanker” make extremely desirable for a number of specialty aerial services.

Versatile Cargo Support

The IL78/76 aircraft is a versatile workhorse that can be configured for heavy cargo and used for transport of military vehicles and equipment, and commercial air cargo services. The IL-78/76 has unique performance capabilities and is famous for its ability to operate in extreme conditions and from marginal landing areas.

TADS is currently in final negotiations with a division of the U.S. DoD to supply helicopter transport services, and anticipates but can be assured that a letter-of-intent is forthcoming. The criteria for such services are anticipated to be no less than 1,000 hours per year.

Dedicated Alert Aircraft Support

TADS has responded to a Request for Information from a domestic agency to support its mission readiness. The proposed contract requires an aircraft with very specific and unusual characteristics and capabilities, which TADS believes that it’s IL-78 can fulfill better than any other aircraft deliverable by any U.S. competitor of TADS. Although the budget of the contract has not yet been stipulated, the requirement is for 24/7/365 multi-year, and we anticipate could be worth approximately $8-$12 million per year.

Oil-Spill Support

The IL78/76 is also very well suited to address the problem of ocean oil-spills. Currently, smaller aircraft are deployed to drop specific chemicals onto oil-spills which cause the oil to coagulate and thereby aid in clean-up. TADS has had initial discussions, in connection with providing an IL-78/76, with a number of private contractors engaged in this operation.

The capabilities of companies which provide similar air combat training services are very limited. Typically, our competitors operate a small number of old-generation aircraft. They therefore generally neither have the aircraft required to fulfill the current contracts in the awards process, and nor do they have the infrastructure necessary should they be awarded a contract. ATAC, an air combat simulation organization, and perhaps the best known competitor, can provide neither the actual adversary aircraft nor aircraft that can properly simulate the adversary aircraft role required for superior air combat training. For example, in fulfilling a current contract, ATAC outsourced approximately 80% of the aircraft and support infrastructure to third-parties. TADS will contemplate the acquisition of competing operators having additional assets, to ensure TADS’ superiority in the air combat training, re-fueling, air support, and fire-fighting businesses.

As the only company able to offer the services of an ILyushin IL-78/76 in the U.S., TADS is positioned to be awarded contracts which require the specifications of the ILyushin aircraft for mid-air refueling, fire-fighting, and specialty air services.

In addition, TADS is not aware of any other U.S. company which can procure, support, and maintain Russian or Ukrainian ground-threat support equipment. The U.S. DoD itself has attempted to supply and maintain such equipment, but has been able only to supply non-functioning equipment which provide only a visual target for its combat pilots, and not the specific electronic signals emitted by Russian and Ukrainian equipment against which our military operates.

Government Approval and Regulation

Our proposed business is heavily regulated. All of our operations involve intense government approval and oversight. Prior to awarding contracts other than on a “bid for service” basis, military agencies are required to publish their proposed award of a contract with details of such contract. During this time period, other persons may submit objections or counter bids on these contracts.

Our aircraft operations will also be subject to all regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration that relate to civil “experimental” aircraft, and will be subject to airworthiness standards and operating procedures of the Federal Aviation Administration. Additionally, our pilots, instructors and mechanics also must generally be appropriately certified to perform their duties by the Federal Aviation Administration and are required to comply with strict recurrency flight training rules and medical certification.

In addition to the foregoing, government agencies will require that we have and maintain a proper safety program, an approved parts program and an approved maintenance program, each of which must be sufficient to support the contracts that we undertake to perform and each of which must be continually kept current.

Under our F-16 Training Contract, we are also subject to audit and inspection to ensure that we are in compliance with all of the foregoing requirements insofar as they relate to providing services under this agreement. If we are not in compliance we could be fined and we risk suspension or loss of the contract.

Additionally, we may be subject to rules of foreign governments with respect to operations of our aircraft over their territories.

Effect of Government Regulation

As evidenced by the Justification and Approval for the F-16 Training Contract, we believe that it is not common for branches of the United States military to issue contracts to private entities for the training of military personnel in combat and other military exercises. No assurance can be made, therefore, that other government agencies will outsource their training or flight support services, or that the government agencies that we deal with will not change their policy with respect to such contracts to not renew or issue new contracts to us or others in our business sector.

During fiscal 2005 we spent approximately $88,000 in developing our training syllabus with no expenditures in fiscal 2006, fiscal 2007, or as of October 15, 2008 for these programs. We believe that we are required to have a strong and efficient training syllabus in order to maintain and bid for additional military training contracts. We have also begun development of an approved parts program, a safety program and maintenance program, all of which are required to be in effect prior to being tasked on any military contracts.

Mr. Charlie Searock, a former executive officer of our company, has brought a laws suit in the District Court of the 336 th Judicial District of Grayson County, Texas against us and seven other defendants on February 6, 2007, on claims of breach of an employment agreement between Searock and International Tactical Training Center, Inc. (“ITTC”). (Charles J. Searock, Jr., vs. Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc., International Tactical training Center, Inc., Mark Daniels, Victor Miller, John Farley, Gary Fears, Jamie Goldstein, and Joel Ramsden, Cause No.07-0322-336). ITTC and the Company are the only two corporate defendants named in the Searock lawsuit. Of the six individuals named as defendants, three are former ITTC management.   Searock asserts that the Company is liable for ITTC’s breach of employment agreement because he alleges that the Company acquired ITTC’s assets, and that ITTC was a former subsidiary of AeroGroup, Inc., an entity not named as a defendant in the Searock lawsuit. In addition to his claim for breach of the ITTC employment contract, Searock also asserts theories of tort liability against the defendants.   The Company denies any liability to Searock on his claim for breach of the ITTC employment contract and denies Searock has any factual basis to impose liability on the Company under any of his theories of tort liability. Specifically, the Company denies that it acquired, owns or controls ITTC’s former assets. The Company believes that this claim is without merit and is working towards resolution of the same.

 Series A Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, designating a series of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company, $.001 par value (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to:

elect one director to the Company’s board of directors;
vote on all other matters on a 25 votes per share Common Stock basis.
with respect to dividend rights, rights on redemption, rights on conversion and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to all Common Stock, warrants and options to purchase Common Stock established by the Board or the Stockholders (all of such equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior are collectively referred to herein as “Junior Stock”).
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 2 shares of the Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalization or other reorganizations.
 
In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock:

has weighted average antidilution protection that will cause the conversion price to adjust downward in the event that the Company issues shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at a price of less than the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock then in effect may be converted into Common Stock at the option of the holder.

In addition, at any time after the closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ OTCBB or the primary United States exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded exceeds $5.00 during any five consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its sole option, convert the Series A Preferred and any accrued but unpaid dividends into common shares at the then-applicable conversion price by providing written notice of such conversion to the holders of the Series A Preferred; provided that there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act registering the resale of the Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion.
 
18


Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive a dividend of 7% per annum. The dividend begins to accrue on January 1, 2007 and will be payable quarterly thereafter. The dividend is cumulative. In the event of a liquidation or acquisition of the Company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividend prior and in preference to any distributions to the holders of the Common Stock. Thereafter, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate in distributions on an as converted to Common Stock basis.

Shares of Series A Preferred may be redeemed, in whole or in part, by the Company out of funds lawfully available therefore from the holders of then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred on a pro rata basis, at any time by providing written notice to the holders of the Series A Preferred owned by each holder, that number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred owned by each holder, that number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred that the Company has elected to purchase for the following consideration: (i) an amount equal to a price per share equal to the $4.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred being redeemed from such holder and (ii) the issuance of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%) of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred being redeemed from such holder. A cash payment will be provided in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock.
 
Issuance of Preferred Securities 

During fiscal 2007, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,400,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock; 2,400,000 shares to Mr. Victor Miller, and 4,000,000 shares to Mr. Mark Daniels, both of whom were Officers and Directors at the time of issuance of the shares. Because the Company contends that the shares of its Series A Preferred Stock were issued to Mr. Miller and Mr. Daniels without consideration, the Company has been seeking to rescind said 6,400,000 Series A Preferred shares, and have Mr. Miller and Mr. Daniels waive any accrued and unpaid dividends associated with said Series A Preferred shares. Mr. Mark Daniels has agreed to rescind the 4,000,000 Series A Preferred shares issued to him and to waive any accrued and unpaid dividends associated with said 4,000,000 Series A Preferred shares, contingent upon Mr. Miller agreeing to rescind the 2,400,000 Series A Preferred shares issued to him and to waive any accrued and unpaid dividends associated with said 2,400,000 Series A Preferred shares. However, due to the Company’s inability to have Mr. Miller agree to rescind the 2,400,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock issued to him and to waive any accrued and unpaid dividends associated with said 2,400,000 Series A Preferred shares, the Company is currently preparing a legal action against Mr. Miller in connection with the issuance of said 2,400,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock.. The Company believes that its contention, that the 2,400,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock were issued to Mr. Miller without consideration, is with merit, and that it will be successful in its suit to have said shares rescinded, have any accrued and unpaid dividends waived, and have any costs and damages to the Company in connection with the issuance of and the rescission of said 2,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock repaid to the Company by Mr. Miller.

Dividends

We may never pay any dividends to our shareholders. We did not declare any dividends for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our Board of Directors does not intend to distribute dividends in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

Plan of Operation
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our predecessor, AeroGroup, has had no revenues during 2006 and 2007. We anticipate that our current cash on hand of $0.00 as of December 31, 2007 is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements only through the end of June of 2008. We do not have any financing commitments and no assurance can be made that we will be obtaining financing at the times and terms needed. Therefore, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. In addition, we will need substantial additional capital during the next 12 months on order to complete our business plan.
Our business involves the lease, operation, and maintenance of jet aircraft, which may require significant amounts of capital. Some of our anticipated one time and ongoing expenses are discussed below.

AeroGroup has funded its operations and met its capital expenditures requirements primarily through cash generated from contributions from the issuance of convertible debt securities and warrants.

As of December 31, 2006, AeroGroup had negative working capital in the amount of $4,621,385. Cash used by operating activities were $1,157,571 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $967,573.

As of December 31, 2005, AeroGroup had negative working capital in the amount of $6,870,838. Cash used by operating activities were $967,573 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 

The factors that predominantly impact working capital and therefore cash flows from operations are operating expenses.

Cash used in investing activities was $150,241 in 2006 with no cash invested in 2005.

During the year ended December 2008, the Company believes that it will expend funds on the following:

 
Completion of preparation of IL-78 #1 which we anticipate will cost a minimum of another $250,000 to complete,
 
Hire and deliver additional pilots for fulfillment of the BAF contract.
 
Leasing of new fourth generation military aircraft and/or tanker aircraft.
 
Hiring of a additional officers and other personnel with military and/or aviation experience.
 
We anticipate that if we are able to raise sufficient capital that we will be able to complete our programs . If we are not able to do so, we will not be able to perform under the F-16 Training Contract or to bid under newer contracts.

Immediate Expenses and Cost of Equipment

We will be required to make additional expenditures to complete the certification of the IL-76/78 under lease in order to perform our certain parts of our contracts. We anticipate the cost to be approximately $250,000. Thereafter, we may lease additional aircraft if sufficient financing alternatives are not available. We anticipate that it will cost us approximately $500,000 through December of 2008 to complete these programs.
Employees

We currently have five full time employees. From time to time we have retained a number of independent consultants to assist us in developing our safety, maintenance and parts programs and to develop our curricula. We do not anticipate the hiring of new employees until we complete the acquisition of the F-16 aircraft and we are prepared to accept tasking orders under our contracts. However, we anticipate retaining consultants from time to time in order to complete development of our parts, maintenance and safety programs. We anticipate that after such time in order to operate our business of providing flight training and aircraft services relating to F-16 fighter jet aircraft, we will need to hire new employees and members of management. These new management personnel will include a director of logistics, a chief of maintenance, a director of administration, and a security director. We will also need certified flight instructors, maintenance and line personnel sufficient to manage our aircraft flight operations and program managers with military experience.

20

 

While we have interviewed and met with multiple candidates for the these positions, we do not intend to hire anyone until the needs of our operations require such expenditures. We believe that the annual number of retiring military flight instructors and mechanics is sufficient to enable us to find qualified training and maintenance personnel.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date herein, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Section 303(c) of Regulation S-B, other then as specifically disclosed in this report. Off balance sheet arrangements include, without limitation, contractual arrangements with any entity whose financial information is not consolidated with our own, under which we have:

 
Guaranteed any obligation of such other entity;
 
A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;
 
Any obligation under certain derivative instruments;
 
Any obligation under a material variable interest held by the registrant in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the registrant, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the registrant.

Additionally, we do not have any relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from any non-independent relationships other than related party transactions discussed herein.

OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

The Board of Directors has set the close of business on October 15, 2008 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining Stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the date herein, there are 396,950,323 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") issued and outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to Stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum for purposes of the Annual Meeting. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are represented at the Annual Meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time without further notice. A plurality of the votes cast by holders of the Common Stock will be required for the election of directors. The ratification of the appointment of Lawrence Scharfman & Co., CPA P.A as the Company's independent certified public accountant, the increase the Company’s authorized common shares from one billion shares to three billion shares, and the enactment of a one for ten reverse stock split; and the proposal to ratify the name change from Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. to AeroGroup Incorporated, will be approved if the number of shares of Common Stock voted in favor of ratification exceeds the number of shares voted against it. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. With respect to the outcome of any matter brought before the Annual Meeting (i) abstentions will be considered as shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted as votes cast for or against any given matter and (ii) broker non-votes will not be considered shares present and entitled to vote. Because directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting and the other matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting will be approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the matter exceeds the number of votes cast against it, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Prior to the Annual Meeting, the Company will select one or more inspectors of election for the Annual Meeting. Such inspector(s) shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive, count, and tabulate ballots and votes, and determine the results thereof.

A list of Stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any shareholder at the Company's principal executive office in the United States for a period of 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting, and at the Annual Meeting itself.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
The AeroGroup Acquisition

At the time we and the AeroGroup negotiated and entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement, Mr. Daniels was not an officer, director or affiliate of TADS. After execution of and entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement, Mr. Daniels became a director and officer on August 22, 2006 in order for us to secure the government licenses required to be obtained as a condition to closing the AeroGroup Acquisition. At the time of the AeroGroup Acquisition on December 15, 2006, Mark Daniels, a controlling shareholder of AeroGroup, was serving as our sole director and as Secretary and Treasurer.

As a result of the Aero Group Acquisition, AeroGroup acquired a controlling interest in TADS. Mr. Daniels is a controlling shareholder in AeroGroup and has voting and dispositive control over its TADS stock. As a result, Mr. Daniels is the beneficial owner of AeroGroup's TADS stock and owned an 81% indirect beneficial interest in TADS as of the closing of the AeroGroup Acquisition.
 
As consideration for the AeroGroup Acquisition, TADS assumed notes and warrants held by Mr. Daniels as follows:

 
·
TADS assumed the Secured Daniels Note;
 
22


 
·
TADS entered into the Daniels Security Agreement;
 
 
·
TADS assumed Investor Notes held by Mr. Daniels in the aggregate original principal amount of $366,602.04;
 
 
·
TADS assumed Warrants to acquire stock in AeroGroup, which Warrants will now be exercisable for the acquisition of 2,444,014 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $.15 per share. They are immediately exercisable and have a warrant exercise term of five years. The warrants were issued between April 1, 2003 and November 12, 2005.
  
The terms and conditions of the foregoing instruments and agreements are described above under the heading “Material Agreements Entered Into”.

 
·
TADS assumed Warrants to acquire stock in AeroGroup, which Warrants will now be exercisable for the acquisition of 2,444,014 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $.15 per share. They are immediately exercisable and have a warrant exercise term of five years. The warrants were issued between April 1, 2003 and November 12, 2005.
  
Mr. Daniels is a majority Stockholder of AeroGroup Incorporated. As a result of the AeroGroup Acquisition, TADS assumed AeroGroup’s obligations to issue shares of AeroGroup Common Stock pursuant to the convertible notes and warrants of AeroGroup. Conversion of those convertible securities prior to the Closing Date would have resulted in a dilution of Mr. Daniels stock in AeroGroup, Incorporated, which will no longer be the case.

Acquisition of Aircraft and Simulator Assets from Entities owned by Mr. Daniels.

In June of 2006, AeroGroup acquired substantially all of the assets of three limited liability companies owned by Mr. Daniels, OneSource Financial Holdings, LLC, Genesis Capital Services, LLC, and Resource Financial Holdings, LLC. These assets (the “Daniels Assets”) included two MiG 29 fighter jets and four full motion aircraft flight simulators. The Daniels Assets were acquired by AeroGroup in exchange for the assumption by the AeroGroup Subsidiaries of certain indebtedness incurred by Daniels in connection with his acquisition of these assets and certain other consideration. These assets were appraised by a certified aircraft appraiser and AeroGroup believes that the acquisition of these assets from Daniels was on terms that were no less favorable to it then if the Company had attempted to acquire these assets in the open market.
 
The Daniels Assets are part of the AeroGroup Assets acquired by the Company in the AeroGroup Acquisition.

We believe that we have executed the AeroGroup Acquisition and all of the related transactions set forth above on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length transaction. Additionally, all of the foregoing transactions have been approved by both a majority of the board and a majority of disinterested directors. It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions including loans or any other transactions or commitments between us, our officers and directors and their affiliates are approved by a majority of the board of disinterested board members, and are on terms obtained at an arms-length transactions that are no less favorable to us than we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties. Moreover, it is our intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to us than are otherwise available from unaffiliated third parties.

Issuance of Shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to Executive Management

In January of 2007 the Company entered into employment agreements with Messers. Fred Daniels, Mark Daniels. In lieu of cash compensation for salary and bonus payments through December of 2007, the Company issued:

3,200,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which convert into 6,400,000 shares of Common Stock) to Mr. Mark Daniels,
 
 
·
810,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which convert into 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock), to Mr. Victor Miller
 
 
·
405,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Fred Daniels.

Compensation of Directors
 
Our Directors do not receive cash compensation for their services. The Company does not provide additional compensation for committee participation or special assignments of the Board of Directors, but may issue stock compensation and/or enter into separate consulting agreements with individual Directors at times.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, Directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file certain reports with the SEC regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities. Such officers, Directors, and 10% shareholders are also required by the SEC to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
 
Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, Directors, and more than 10% Stockholders were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
 
AUDIT AND CERTAIN OTHER FEES PAID TO ACCOUNTANTS
 
 Audit Fees
                 
We have paid Larry Scharfman & Co. P.A., our independent auditors for fiscal 2007, fees of $25,000 for the 2007 10KSB, fees of $15,000 for the 2006 10KSB, and fees of $5,000 per each 2008 10QSB.

 Tax and All Other Fees
 
We did not pay any fees to Larry Scharfman & Co. P.A.,, for tax compliance, tax advice, tax planning or other work during our fiscal years ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

 Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

We have implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of audit and non-audit services. Under these procedures, our board of directors pre-approves all services to be provided by Larry Scharfman & Co. P.A., the estimated fees related to these services.

With respect to the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2007, and for the year then ended, none of the hours expended on Larry Scharfman & Co. P.A, engagement to audit those financial statements were attributed to work by persons other than Larry Scharfman & Co. P.A, full-time, permanent employees.

The Company may issue stock compensation to and reimburses all Directors for their expenses in connection with their activities as directors of the Company. Directors of the Company who are also employees of the Company will not receive additional compensation for their services as directors.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS TO SERVE UNTIL THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS IN 2009 AND UNTIL THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS HAVE BEEN ELECTED AND QUALIFIED.
 
PROPOSAL 2 - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

The Board of Directors appointed Lawrence Scharfman & Co., CPA P.A as the Company's independent certified public accountants. A representative of Lawrence Scharfman & Co., CPA P.A may be present at the Annual Meeting, and will have an opportunity to make a statement if such representative desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is necessary to appoint Lawrence Scharfman & Co., CPA P.A.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF LAWRENCE SCHARFMAN & CO., CPA P.A AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.

PROPOSAL 3 -
APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S INCRESE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES AND REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
MATERIAL TERMS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT
 
The Board has unanimously adopted a resolution to effect a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Common Stock. The Board believes that the Reverse Split is in the Company's best interests, principally because it may increase the trading price of the Common Stock. An increase in the price of the Common Stock may, in turn, generate greater investor interest in the Common Stock, thereby enhancing the marketability of the Common Stock to the financial community. For example, the closing price of the shares of Common Stock as reported on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on October 15, 2008 was $0.02 per share (thus, the Reverse Split may result in a price of $0.20 per share although no guarantees can be given that the price would remain at this level. In addition, the resulting reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will provide the Company with additional authorized but unissued shares which could be utilized for future acquisitions or mergers or to otherwise carry out the Company's business objectives.

27

 
As of October 15, 2008, there are 396,950,323 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The immediate effect of the Reverse Split will be to reduce the number of presently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from approximately 396,950,323 to approximately 39,695,032 up to 300,000,000, thus leaving 260,304,968 shares available for issuance following the Reverse Split after giving effect to an increase in the number of authorized shares from one billion to three billion. We are planning to issue additional shares in the near future in the pre-reverse amount of approximately 498,000,000 in order to retire all outstanding convertible promissory notes, which new issuance will increase the total number of issued and outstanding to approximately 894,950,323.
 
The Reverse Split will affect all of the holders of the Company's Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that will result from the rounding up of fractional shares.
 
The Reverse Split of the Common Stock is expected to become effective after we file Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation after the November 28, 2008 meeting (the "Effective Date"). Upon the Effective Date, the Company will notify the National Association of Securities Dealers, requesting that the split be made effective on the Effective Date. The Reverse Split will take place on the Effective Date without any action on the part of the holders of the Common Stock and without regard to current certificates representing shares of Common Stock being physically surrendered for certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock each shareholder is entitled to receive as a result of the Reverse Split. New certificates of Common Stock will not be issued at this time.
 
We will, in the filing of our Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, increase the current authorized shares from 1,000,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000. The Board believes that it is advisable and in our best interest to have available additional authorized shares of our Common Stock in an amount adequate to provide for our future needs. We believe that we have the opportunity to engage in a private offering of our securities in order to raise additional capital using shares of Common Stock as consideration, and secure long-term employment agreements, which could include stock incentive compensation, with current and future employees and officers of the Company as may be required by the Company to successfully execute its business strategy. However, while the Board believes that the reverse stock split will enhance the value of our issued and outstanding Common Stock, the consequence is that our Articles of Incorporation, amended to substantially reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, does not authorize a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to close any such offering, secure future employment agreements, acquire assets, or complete a business transaction using shares of Common Stock as consideration. Currently, there are no definitive agreements respecting investment in the Common Stock, employment agreements, or acquisition of another business. However, the Board believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is in our best interest and that of our shareholders because additional shares of Common Stock will provide us with the ability to raise additional capital through a private offering or use Common Stock as consideration for a business opportunity.
 
Because of the Board’s discretion in connection with an issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, the Board may, under certain circumstances, possess timing and other advantages in responding to a tender offer or other attempt to gain control of us, which may make such attempts more difficult and less attractive. Any additional shares of Common Stock issued would have the same rights and privileges as the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. For example, issuance of additional shares would increase the number of shares outstanding and could necessitate the acquisition of a greater number of shares by a person making a tender offer and could make such acquisition more difficult since the recipient of such additional shares may favor the incumbent management. Moreover, these advantages give the Board the ability to provide any such holders with a veto power over actions proposed to be taken by the holders of our Common Stock. This could have the effect of insulating existing management from removal, even if it is in the best interest of the common shareholders.
 
The issuance of any additional shares of our Common Stock would also have the effect of diluting the equity interests of existing shareholders and the earnings per share of existing shares of Common Stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the number of shares issued.
 
However, the Board believes that any additional investment or business opportunity, while diluting the equity interests of the shareholders, will enhance the current and future value of those shareholders’ interests.
 
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares will have the number of new shares to which they are entitled rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. No shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
 
We do not have any provisions in our Articles, by laws, or employment or credit agreements to which we are party that have anti-takeover consequences. We do not currently have any plans to adopt anti-takeover provisions or enter into any arrangements or understandings that would have anti-takeover consequences. In certain circumstances, our management may issue additional shares to resist a third party takeover transaction, even if done at an above market premium and favored by a majority of independent shareholders.

28

 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The following summary of material federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences. Further, it does not address any state, local, foreign or other income tax consequences, nor does it address the tax consequences to shareholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is based on the United States federal income tax laws as of the date of this Information Statement. Such laws are subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively. This summary also assumes that the shares of Common Stock are held as "capital assets," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The tax treatment of a shareholder may vary depending on the facts and circumstances of such shareholder.
 
EACH SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH SUCH SHAREHOLDER'S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.
 
No gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder as a result of the Reverse Split. The aggregate tax basis of the shares received in the Reverse Split will be the same as the shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the shares exchanged. The shareholder's holding period for the shares received in the Reverse Split will include the period during which the shareholder held the shares surrendered as a result of the Reverse Split. The Company's views regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would accept the positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse Split may vary significantly as to each shareholder, depending on the state in which such shareholder resides.

DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

The Nevada Revised Statutes does not provide for dissenter's rights of appraisal in connection with the one for ten reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock or the increase in authorized shares as there is no adverse consequence to the shareholders.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE COMPANY’S AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.

PROPOSAL 4 - APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S NAME CHANGE FROM TACTICAL AIR DEFENSE SERVICES, INC. TO AEROGROUP INCORPORATED.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution declaring the advisability of amending and restating our Articles of Incorporation to effect a name change from Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. to AeroGroup Incorporated, a name that better reflects our current business.
