<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent to the issuance of Mesa Air Group, Inc.&#146;s (the &#147;Company&#148;) consolidated financial
statements for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company&#146;s management determined that certain
changes in other assets were improperly presented in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2005. As a result, the Company will restate its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 to correct the
presentation of these changes in other assets. The Company
expects to finalize and issue restated financial statements in approximately two weeks. A summary
of the effects of the restatement on the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 is presented below. The restatement will have no effect on the total
net change in cash and cash equivalents, the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Consolidated
Statement of Stockholders&#146; Equity, the related earnings per share amounts for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2005 or the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
September&nbsp;30, 2005.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, in May
2005, the Company amended its code-sharing arrangement with United to allow the Company to put
additional regional jet aircraft into the United Express system and extend the expiration dates
under the existing code-share agreement with respect to certain aircraft. In connection with the
amendment, the Company agreed to make three $10&nbsp;million payments to United as follows: i) $10
million in June&nbsp;2005, ii) $10&nbsp;million in October&nbsp;2005, and iii) $10&nbsp;million in November&nbsp;2005. The
Company has determined that in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended
September&nbsp;30, 2005, it incorrectly included the $10&nbsp;million payment made to United in June&nbsp;2005 in
the change in other assets line in investing activities, rather than as cash used in operating
activities. The Company believes the subsequent payments to United were correctly presented as cash
used in operating activities in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December
31, 2005 and March&nbsp;31, 2006.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the determination to restate its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 for the matter noted above, the Company continued to review its
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 and has identified
certain other amounts included in the change in other assets line that need to be reclassified.
Specifically, $2.0&nbsp;million of other contract incentive payments and $5.5&nbsp;million of prepaid
aircraft lease costs were also incorrectly classified as investing activities, rather than as
operating activities. In addition, $3.2&nbsp;million of debt issue costs were incorrectly classified as
cash used in investing activities, rather than as cash used in financing activities; and a non-cash
transfer of $2.7&nbsp;million in rotable equipment to non-operating assets was incorrectly presented as
a change in other assets, rather than being included in supplemental disclosure as a non-cash
transaction.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has reviewed the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2005 and March&nbsp;31, 2006 and has concluded that the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows for the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 will also be
restated to correct the presentation of certain changes in other assets.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In light of the foregoing determinations, on or about July&nbsp;13, 2006, management of the
Company, in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, concluded that the
Company&#146;s financial statements included in the Company&#146;s annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended
