MESA AIR GROUP, INC., ET AL.
NOTES TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT

1. Background and Organization

General

- Mesa Air Group, Inc. ("Mesa" or the "Company") is a holding company whose principal subsidiaries operate as regional air carriers providing scheduled passenger and airfreight service. As of July 31, 2010, the Company served 99 cities in 38 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, and Mexico and operated a fleet of 90 aircraft with approximately 540 daily departures.

Chapter 11 Reorganization Cases

- On January 5, 2010 (the "Petition Date"), Mesa Air Group, Inc. and its eleven subsidiaries (the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Court"). The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. On January 14, 2010, the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York appointed a statutory committee of unsecured creditors.

2. Basis of Presentation

Condensed Consolidated Debtor-in-Possession Financial Statements

- The unaudited financial statements and supplemental information contained herein represent the condensed consolidated financial information for the Debtors. The results of operations for the period from January 5, 2010 to January 31, 2010 were estimated based upon estimates that included the use of statistical data, processed revenue, fuel purchases and a pro-ration of calendar days within the month of January. Amounts presented in the unaudited Statement of Cash Flows for the period from January 5, 2010 to January 31, 2010 were based on estimated asset and liability balances as of the filing date and actual balances as of January 31, 2010, as well as the aforementioned estimated results of operations for the period from January 5, 2010 to January 31, 2010.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"), which is applicable to companies in chapter 11, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. It does, however, require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. The Debtors' financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with the guidance in SOP 90-7. Further information concerning the Debtors' accounting policies will be found in the footnotes to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2009 once filed and subsequent filings on Form 10-Q when filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the Debtors. Certain financial information, however, has not been subject to procedures that typically would be applied to financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and, upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information will be subject to changes. These changes could be material. The information furnished in this report includes primarily normal recurring adjustments, but does not include all of the adjustments that typically would be made for quarterly financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain prepaid balances and pre- and post-petition trade accounts payable balances are subject to further review and reclassification. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, this report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2009 once filed and subsequent filings on Form 10-Q when filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected from any other period or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Debtors in the future.

Case Number: 10-10018 (MG) (Jointly Administered)

- 11 -

Intercompany Transactions - Intercompany transactions between Debtors have been eliminated in the financial statements contained herein.

Property and Equipment, net

- Recorded at cost net of accumulated deprecation.

Taxes

- Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in future years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records deferred tax assets for the value of benefits expected to be realized from the utilization of alternative minimum tax credit carry forward, capital loss carryforward and state and federal net operating loss carryforward. We periodically review these assets to determine the likelihood of realization. To the extent we believe some portion of the benefit may not be realizable, an estimate of the unrealized position is made and an allowance recorded. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. As of July 31, 2010, the Company estimated an effective tax rate of 37.1%.

The Debtors have received approval to pay pre-petition employee withholding obligations in addition to employment and wage-related taxes, sales and use taxes, and certain other taxes due in the normal course of business through certain first day motions. As such, the Debtors have paid such taxes when due. In addition, all post-petition tax obligations have been fully paid to the proper taxing authorities to the extent they were due during the current reporting period.

Further, employee withholding obligations are pre-funded by the Debtors and paid directly by the Debtors' payroll contractor, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ("ADP"). Thus, no further information regarding taxes is included in this report.

3. Insurance

All insurance premiums have been paid to the proper insurance company or broker when due during the current reporting period, and all insurance policies are in force as of the filing of this report.

4. Cash Management System & Use of Cash

The Court has entered orders authorizing the Debtors to continue to use their existing cash management system including: (i) investment guidelines; (ii) maintenance of existing bank accounts and business forms; and (iii) the authorization to open and close bank accounts. The Debtors are continuing to collect and disburse cash since the Petition Date using the existing cash management system, as modified to comply with applicable orders of the Court.

5. Reorganization items

SOP 90-7 requires separate disclosure of reorganization items such as realized gains and losses from the settlement of pre-petition liabilities, provisions for losses resulting from the reorganization and restructuring of the business, as well as professional fees directly related to the process of reorganizing the Debtors under Chapter 11. The Debtors' reorganization items consist of the following:

Other | - | - | - | -
Total loss/(gain) on reorganization items | 4,525 | 854 | 1,060 | 503,906

Professional fees directly related to the reorganization ("Professional Fees") include fees associated with advisors to the Debtors, the statutory committee of unsecured creditors and certain secured creditors. Professional Fees are estimated by the Debtors and will be reconciled to actual invoices when received.

Of the 58 aircrafts that have either been rejected or abandoned since the approval of the Rejection Procedures (as defined below), the Debtors have booked the damages arising from the rejection/abandonment of 56 of these aircraft and estimated them to be approximately $498,000,000, which amount is subject to the final settlement between the Debtors and the applicable aircraft parties.

6. Liabilities Subject to Compromise

As a result of the Chapter 11 Filings, most pre-petition indebtedness is subject to compromise or other treatment under a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise affect payment of pre- Chapter 11 liabilities are stayed. At hearings held in January and February, the Court granted final approval of many of the Debtors' "first day" motions covering, among other things, human capital obligations, supplier relations (including fuel supply and fuel contracts), insurance, customer relations, business operations, certain tax matters, industry agreements, utilities, case management and retention of professionals.

The Debtors have been paying and intend to continue to pay undisputed post-petition claims in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Debtors may reject pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases with respect to the Debtors' operations, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases are generally treated as

Case Number: 10-10018 (MG) (Jointly Administered)

- 13 -

general unsecured claims and will be classified as liabilities subject to comprise. Holders of pre-petition claims will be required to file proofs of claims by a bar date to be determined by the Court. The deadline for the filing of proofs of claims against the Debtors was May 21, 2010, with certain exceptions pursuant to the bar date order entered by the Court.

A bar date is the date by which claims against the Debtors must be filed if the claimants wish to receive any distribution in the Chapter 11 cases. Differences between liability amounts estimated by the Debtors and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and, if necessary, the Court will make a final determination of the allowable claim. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be treated cannot be made until the Court approves a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Accordingly, the ultimate amount or treatment of such liabilities is not determinable at this time.

SOP 90-7 requires pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts currently classified as liabilities subject to compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, or other events.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise consist of the following:

(In $U.S. 000's) |  |  |  |
| July 31, | June 30, | May 31, | April 30,
| 2010 | 2010 | 2010 | 2010

Liabilities subject to compromise include trade accounts payable related to pre-petition purchases, all of which were scheduled for payment in the post-petition period. As a result, the cash flows from operations were favorably affected by the stay of payment related to these accounts payable.

- 14 -

Of the 58 aircraft that have either been rejected or abandoned since the approval of the Rejection Procedures (as defined below), the Debtors have booked the damages arising from the rejection/abandonment of 56 of these aircraft and estimated them to be approximately $498,000,000, which amount is subject to the final settlement between the Debtors and the applicable aircraft parties.

7. Post-petition Accounts Payable

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge, all undisputed post-petition accounts payable have been and are being paid under agreed-upon payment terms except for approximately $2.0 million of invoices received, not yet paid, as of July 31, 2010.

8. Owned and Leased Aircraft

On January 26, 2010, the Court approved the abandonment of twenty (20) Beech 1900D aircraft and related airframe, engines, propellers, avionics and all other equipment, parts and components installed in or on, or acceded to, or associated with the related aircraft. On February 23, 2010, the Court approved procedures for the rejection of aircraft related leases and the abandonment of aircraft subject to security agreements (the "Rejection Procedures"). Since the approval of the Rejection Procedures, the Debtors have filed twenty (20) notices of rejection with respect to the leases of twelve (12) aircraft engines and eighty (80) aircraft.

The Debtors continue to evaluate their aircraft fleet and will address the remaining leased and owned as necessary. During this time, the Debtors continue to accrue lease and interest expenses in accordance with pre-petition contracts until the lease or debt agreements are rejected or abandoned, as the case may be, and new leases or debt agreements are finalized and approved by the Court. The line item labeled Flight Operations - Nonoperating Aircraft includes lease expense related to aircraft currently not in operation.

9. Other, Net

Other, Net includes gain / (loss) on disposal of assets, debt conversion expense, recognition of our share of gain/(loss) in our Hawaiian joint venture and other miscellaneous expenses. This total excludes gains / (losses) on minority investments that are reported quarterly.
