INTRODUCTION

This Going-Private Transaction Statement (the “Statement”) is being filed jointly by PACIFIC AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONICS, INC., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), GSCP RECOVERY, INC., a Cayman Islands corporation (“GSCP Recovery”), GSC RECOVERY II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GSC Recovery II” and, together with GSCP Recovery, the “GSC Entities”), MATTHEW C. KAUFMAN and PHILIP RAYGORODETSKY, pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13e-3 thereunder. The purpose of this Amendment No. 4 is to file a final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 to report the results of the Rule 13e-3 transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3).

On February 20, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act relating to the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on March 19, 2004 to, among other things, consider and act upon a proposal to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to provide for a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock that would result in (i) shareholders receiving one share of new common stock for every 11,000 shares of existing common stock that they own, and (ii) shareholders receiving cash in lieu of any fractional share they would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split at a rate of $0.168 per share on a pre-split basis (the “Reverse Split Transaction”). At the Special Meeting, holders of shares of the Company’s common stock representing a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, voted to approve the Reverse Split Transaction.

The Company filed Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington effective as of March 22, 2004, thereby giving effect to the Reverse Split Transaction. On the date hereof, the Company is also filing a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its common stock and to cease reporting as a public company.

Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
