Overview of Transaction and Fairness Analysis

PURPOSE

• Pursuant to a recent restructuring transaction (the “Restructuring”) 97.5% of the common stock of Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc. (“Company” or “PAE”) is held by institutions (the “New Equity Holders”) who prior to the Restructuring were holders of the Company’s 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes. The remaining 2.5% of the Company’s common stock is held by other investors (the “Old Equity Holders”).

• The Company has proposed to effectuate a reverse stock spilt of one for 11,000 and a cash payment of approximately $0.33 per share for all fractional shares, (the “Reverse Split”). As a result of the Reverse Split, we understand that certain of the New Equity Holders would increase their ownership in the Company and that the Old Equity Holders would hold fractional shares and therefore receive cash in exchange for such fractional shares and therefore no longer hold an equity interest in the Company.

• The reverse stock split is proposed to reduce the number of stockholders of record to less than 300, thereby allowing the Company to terminate its registration under the Securities exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The following table provides a breakdown of the estimated impact of the reverse stock split on the number of PAE shareholders and shares outstanding.

PURPOSE (CONTINUED)

• The aforementioned reverse stock split and associated fractional share redemption and other related transactions disclosed to Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin (“Houlihan Lokey”) are referred to collectively herein as the “Transaction.” A Special Advisory Committee of the Board of Directors, at the request of the Company, must obtain an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Transaction to the Company and the holders of its existing common stock.

TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

KEY TERMS

The following points describe the key terms of the Transaction

• Reverse Stock Split – Each holder of 11,000 shares of existing Common Stock (“Existing Common Stock”) will automatically become the holder of one post-reverse split share of Common Stock (“New Common Stock”).

• Fractional Shares – No new certificates representing fractional shares will be issued. Fractional shares of Existing Common Stock will be redeemed for cash at the fair market value per share. All shareholders will be treated equally in the Transaction. Thus, Old and New Equity Holders will have fractional shares redeemed for cash.

• Holders of fewer than 11,000 shares of Existing Common Stock will no longer have any voting or ownership rights in the Company after the reverse split is effected.

• Fair Market Value of Fractional Shares – The fair market value of the Existing Common Stock will be determined based upon the average of the last reported sale prices on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on each of the ten trading days ending the day prior to the date of the Transaction.

TRANSACTION OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)

     BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

• As stated by Company management in the most recent draft version of the proxy statement describing the Transaction, the following points outline key drivers for the execution of the Transaction:

• Reduce Compliance Costs – The Company incurs direct and indirect costs associated with filing and reporting requirements imposed on public companies per the Exchange Act. As a result of the Transaction, the Company will realize lower printing and mailing costs and reduced reporting and disclosure processing related to preparing electronic filings. The Company anticipates a reduction in legal and audit fees and additional savings on director and officer liability insurance.

• Reduce Time and Cost Servicing the Stockholder – The Company will be able to substantially reduce the cost of servicing stockholder accounts by reducing the number of total stockholders to less than 300. The costs of printing and mailing materials increases for each stockholder account, regardless of the number of shares held by the stockholder. Management indicated that the costs associated are prohibitive given the number of shares held by the smaller shareholders. As a private Company, PAE will be able to place more focus on the long-term growth of the business and spend less time with disclosure and shareholder matters.

• Cash to Shareholders without Brokerage / Transaction Costs – Stockholders holding a number of shares not evenly divisible by 11,000 will receive a cash payment for the portion of their interest that would otherwise be represented by a fractional share, without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

• Based on historical costs, Company management estimates savings resulting from the Transaction could be $750,000 to $1 million per year. However, these savings are not expected to be fully realized until fiscal year ended May 31, 2005, if at all.

ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTION STRUCTURES

• Houlihan Lokey has not been retained by the Company to analyze strategic alternatives or conduct a sale of the Company. However in the course of our due diligence we discussed strategic alternatives with Company management. Futhermore, we understand that the Board considered alternative transactions to reduce the number of stockholders to below 300, but ultimately determined that the reverse split was the preferred method. The following is a brief description of other alternatives considered by the Board and their reasons for not choosing those options:

• Issuer Tender Offer – As part of an issuer tender offer, the Company would offer to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. According to the Board, due to the voluntary nature of such a transaction, the results may not yield the stated objective of reducing the number of shareholders below 300. The Board was also uncertain as to whether shareholders of a small number of shares would make the effort to tender their shares. Alternatively, the Board was concerned that the Company could become obligated to repurchase significantly more shares than it will in the Transaction, since all shares held by tendering shareholders would have to be repurchased. Finally, the transaction costs of a tender could be similar to or greater than the costs of a reverse split.

• Purchase of Shares on Open Market – Purchasing shares in isolated transactions in the open market did not provide assurance that enough shareholders would sell their shares in a reasonable amount of time to reduce the total shareholders to less than 300.

• Status Quo – The Board considered taking no action to reduce the number of shareholders, however, the ever-increasing costs of compliance under the Exchange Act led the Board to believe that this course of action was not the most beneficial to the Company.

• Sale of the Company – The Board also considered seeking a third party acquirer. The Board noted that there were no offers currently outstanding and that it was unlikely that a potential buyer would value the business at a higher price than the net asset value of the Company. The estimated per share distribution available to shareholders after sale of the assets would likely be lower than the proposed purchase price in the Transaction.

Valuation Analysis

Valuation Analysis

VALUATION SUMMARY

KEY VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS / NOTES

• We valued the Company “as is” using aggressive assumptions regarding the normalized level of revenue and EBITDA and without shut down or reorganization expenses necessary to achieve such levels of EBITDA.

• We valued the US Operations and European Operations in the Market Multiple and Selected Transaction approaches separately, as they have different sets of comparable companies / transactions.

• We noted that Alliance Capital Management L.P. (“Alliance”) (a majority-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc.), investment advisor to certain third-party clients, on or about July 3, 2003, sold its 2,901,424 beneficially owned shares of PAE to GSCP Recovery, Inc. (“GSCP”) for $.001 per share. In addition to selling its beneficially owned shares, Alliance sold its holdings in the Company’s senior debt and PIK Notes to GSCP. The total value of the transaction was approximately $100,000.

• In performing our analysis, in addition to performing the aforementioned valuation of the Company, we analyzed a group of going private transactions involving reverse splits, of which selected data is provided on page 39. We observed the following:

• All reverse split transactions were small in size (median value of approximately $200,000), with only seven of 19 being above $1 million; and
